Settings Manager centralizes application settings storage and management. Settings Manager, introduced in version 6.20 and greatly improved in version 7.01, stores settings for all Hex Editor Neo components. It supports the following storage locations:
This mode is the default one for all installations except portable installations. In this mode, all settings are stored in per-user location in system registry.
Default folder for downloaded languages is %LOCALAPPDATA%\HHD Software\Hex Editor Neo\Localization (with backup folder %INSTALLDIR%\Localization).
This mode is the default one for portable installations. All settings are stored in portable.hexset7 file, located in program startup folder. The presence of this file indicates the portable mode. Hex Editor Neo does not use or even accesses registry storage if started in portable mode.
Downloaded languages location is %LAUNCHDIR%\Localization where %LAUNCHDIR% is program startup folder.
This mode is similar to portable mode, but uses any given external file for storing application storage. In this mode, location of external file is still stored in per-user registry location (no other settings are stored in registry). The main purpose of this mode is to put external settings storage file into shared location, like OneDrive or Dropbox shared folder and have Hex Editor Neo automatically share its settings across all user's devices.
Default folder for downloaded languages is %LOCALAPPDATA%\HHD Software\Hex Editor Neo\Localization (with backup folder %INSTALLDIR%\Localization).
In addition to different storage locations, Settings Manager allows the user to manually export application settings to a given file and import the settings from a file. This may be used to copy application settings from one installation to another.
