How to backup the settings of the Windows Store version of MusicBrainz Picard?
It doesn’t store the settings in the “Roaming” folder. There isn’t any “picard.ini” file anywhere. I can’t even access the folder where Picard is installed.
Thank you.
Go hunting into… c:\users{username}\AppData\Local\Packages\
It will be one of the folders under Packages. You’ll know when you have the right one when you spot Picard.ini

I found it, thanks. But this should be done inside the application. The current feature in Picard goes to a folder that doesn’t exist in the Windows Store version of Picard.

If you go to OPTIONS \ ADVANVED \ MAINTENENCE what does it show?
If that was not pointing to your App Store settings then that does sound like a bit of a bug to me.
It is a new feature so may not be fully tested with App Store editions. What does your show as a path to the config file on that page?
We have a ticket for implementing config file export / import:
The app sees a different file structure, for the app the config file is located in C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\MusicBrainz, hence that’s were the button points to. That’s why the proper solution will be to implement config file export / import inside Picard and remove that button again.

That’s exactly what happens, thanks for addressing it.
I knew they’d be on top of it. And I did kinda know about that walled garden file structure.
