PYTHA - Copy Your Settings Using a Transfer File (PYTHA 25 and Above)

PYTHA makes it easy to copy your existing settings to another computer using a Transfer File. You may have a new PC to set up or want to ensure that all users are running the same settings to ensure consistency and accuracy. These Transfer Files are also a great way to create a backup in case of a computer issue.

To create your Transfer File:
  1. Launch PYTHA Central on the computer where your current settings are located
  2. Open the Extras menu and select the option to "Export transfer file"
  3. Name your transfer file with the PYTHA version and the origin (eg. PYTHA_25_SupportPC)
  4. Save your transfer file in a location that is accessible to the other computer, such as a network or removable flash drive
This will create a zip file that contains all your PYTHA settings from both your user appdata and your registry. 

To utilise your Transfer File:
  1. Launch PYTHA Central on the computer you wish to update
  2. Open the Extras menu and select the option to "Import transfer file"
  3. Navigate to the zip file generated above and select "Open" (there is no need to unzip this file before importing)
  4. Your settings will be updated to match those of the first computer
Note: If you are concerned that there may be settings on the second computer that you don't wish to lose, you should create a Transfer File of this system as a backup before importing the new settings.
