Importing and Exporting Preferences

Preference files (.epf) capture all the internal settings of IDA-STEP  including the settings in the Preferences dialogue such as HTTP proxy server settings and GUI customizations. With Export and Import Preferences you can copy these settings from one IDA-STEP installation to another to ensure that the same settings are used  there.
