Migrating CMUD with all settings
 
So, im on 3 different computers, and want to for example edit my settings at work and play when i get home. Is there a way to move ALL settings, prefs etc, so that closing at work and opening at home would be like opening/close on the same computer?

There is a way, but I think it would require reinstalling on all machines.
Direct them all to save to a thumb drive and carry it with you from machine to machine.
Otherwise its just a matter of copying files and remembering to write over with the new version before you load up a given session.

For some reason, this doesn't sound safe at all.

I recommend not trying to do that and instead learning about source control. Something like GitLab ought to accomplish what you want, once you learn how to use Git.

Git seems like a huge overkill for moving a few settings between computers... how is a thumb drive unsafe for that?

Thumb drive doesn't sound unsafe. You misread what I think is unsafe.

No, I didn't.

Running CMUD off a thumb drive will accomplish this and is not unsafe.
