Retrieving Pyramix customization settings from a dead OS drive

Postby archive » Wed Nov 06, 2019 20:43

I've got a Win 7 drive that will no longer boot. The Pyramix installation on this drive has a lot of desktop layout customization, special key commands, album publishing settings, and so on that I would love to retrieve somehow.

I unfortunately did not do any intentional saving or export of these settings prior to the drive crashing (lesson learned).

However, I can browse the contents of this drive just fine when mounted as a non-OS volume, and I see the Pyramix installation folder in there. But I have no idea if there's anything there I can copy over to my new OS drive to save all these settings.

Anyone know if this is possible? Thanks!

Thank youI I had good luck with retrieving most of what I need from " C:\Users\<USER NAME>\AppData\Roaming\Merging Technologies\Pyramix"

The one thing I have not found is the keyboard shortcuts. Surely when one makes custom keyboard shortcuts they are stored somewhere (even if they aren't intentionally saved / exported in the shortcut tab). But I can't seem to find a file that holds the shortcuts. Any ideas?

Try:
Key shortcuts = *.pmk

Macros = *.pmm

Not near a Pyramix to jog my memory about where to find if you didn't explicitly save them using the 'Save Shortcuts' command.
