I have already read a lot about user settings. I know where to find them, how to copy and paste them manually, hot to export and import them inside Media Composer. But I still cannot manage to move them to another work station the way I want it. At work we have many different work stations so I would like to build my user setting once and move it to all the other work stations. I want to do this by exporting it to a server that all work stations are connected with. That is no problem. I also would like to be able to adjust the setting to every individual work station because we've got monitors different in size and number at each work station. And here's the problem:
When I export the user setting on the work station on which I created it, selecting "Group", it seems that when I change something on another work station, the changes are saved until I close the project. When I open the project again, all changes are reset to the original setting.
When I export the user setting selecting "Personal", then all changes are saved, but they are saved to every user setting on all work stations. That means, that I won't be able to have different settings based on my original user setting.
When I export the user setting as Local, then only my keyboard settings are moved to the other work stations. My work spaces don't come with the user setting.
Let me give you an example: I want to have exactly the same keyboard settings on every single work station. But I have to re-order the windows depending on how many monitors I work with and how big or small they are. On only 1 monitor I also have to work with less tools than on 2 monitors, because there is not enough room. So if I do not want to rebuild my keyboard settings on all the 12 work stations, it would be easier to do this once and then export my user settings. But at the moment that means to me either working on every work station with my original settings and re-ordering the work spaces everytime I open a project. Or having all my changes saved and re-ordering the work spaces everytime I go to another work station. None of these alternatives is satisfying. Also, I'd like to be able to update for example my keyboard settings to all the other user settings on all work stations, for example when I change a key.
The only way I could imagine would be to export the user setting, go to every work station and import it, then delete it from the server, so that no work station can affect another. And changes to the keyboard settings would have to be done manually on every work station.
Does anybody know a way to help me?
Thanks a lot.
Chris
