Where to find the window rules in the old install?

Support KDE Plasma
1

Since I have reinstalled I am again having problems getting Manjaro to remember the window positions. While it was annoying to have to do this for every app when I started around 3 years ago, this was an easy feat back then but that has changed for the worse.

Now no matter what I choose, the PiP-Window always goes to the right where the browser is rather than to the left side where the free space is.

I could start the old Manjaro and manually export every rule but it would be faster if I knew in which folder the window rules are saved and just copy / paste that.

Does anyone know where the window rules are located at?

Thanks!

Two candidates here:

~/.config/kwinrulesrc

and

~/.config/kwinrc

… the first one doesn’t contain much in my case, since I’m not currently using any custom window-specific ones, but the second does.

Hope this helps. :slight_smile:

Thanks for your answer!

How can I get access in the /mnt folder using ~/.config/kwinrc doesnt work, ~ just works on the active system does it not?

Indeed, you are correct. It will be the path to the user’s home directory on that system. So, in the format /home/<user>/.config/kwinrc :slight_smile:

Thank you! It is in .config/kwinrulesrc, the other one just has other settings
