To transfer my settings to an other machine, I copy the folders "Thumbs" and "Video Thumbnails" and the file "persistent.json".
In a portable version, they are in "Portable", in an installation in "%AppData%\MediaMonkey5\".

I'm also looking for this functionality. Given that we have this great feature where basically every view of your library retains your settings for that view, setting everything back up on a fresh installation can be a considerable time investment.

Edit: I've also just found that saved artwork for playlists and saved icons for library nodes don't come along when restoring the DB, I'd put that in with this request as well.

I recommend only [url=https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/WebHelp:Backing_up_the_Library/5.0#Backup_the_MediaMonkey_Database]keeping the database file[/url] itself (besides your media library). Do note that the files won't work on the new PC until you [url=https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/WebHelp:Adding_Existing_Files_to_the_Library/5.0#Manually_Re-assign_Drive]fix the drive they're located on in MediaMonkey[/url].

Other settings can sometimes be system specific. Also read up on this: https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Moving_MM_to_a_new_computer

I am about to do a windows refresh which will retain my library, but will uninstall all my software. Is there any way I can export my mediamonkey settings so I can just import them after the reinstall instead of reconfiguring manually?

Thanks!
