Default Moving Phoenix Sheet Profiles to new PC

Ok: I cannot figure this one out. How do I move all those Phoenix Sheet profiles I made form one PC to another?

Well, you could use the import and export options in Character Sheet Options, but those were more intended for sharing with a friend, not mass transfers of profile settings.

IMO, the simplest method is to find your sheetoptions.ini file, and copy it to the other PC. That file is in this folder: C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Steve Jackson Games\GURPS Character Assistant 4\ where USER is your username.

You can then copy the sheetoptions.ini file to the same location (adjusted for a different username if necessary) on the new computer.

If you have sheet options settings you want to save on the new machine, you can instead copy just the [profile] blocks you specifically want, and paste them into the other file.

The INI files are just simple text files.

TIP: The simple way to get there is to open: %AppData%\Steve Jackson Games\GURPS Character Assistant 4

All the environment variables you get with a SET command in Command Prompt are available in the Windows/File Explorer address bar. Very handy.
