Hi all. Quick question. I run Bambu Studio primarily on 3 different compute platforms. I have all the “Download” settings going to a folder in my Dropbox. What I would like to do is see my recently opened files across machines. So if I start working on a project at home and later open BS on a computer at work, I only see the recently opened projects on THAT machine. Does anyone know if you can change the cache’s location to a common one? Hopefully I said all correctly.
Hi Richard,
Well, not easily. The recent files list is stored in the main Studio configuration file, BambuStudio.conf, in the “user configuration” folder on each machine. Specifically in the recent_projects settings property. The config file is in standard JSON format.
Now it’s possible, at least in theory, to sync the settings via a shared location somehow… perhaps symbolic links to either the config file itself or the whole user config folder. Not sure how practical that would be, especially with OneDrive as the “network share” mechanism, but maybe.
Another option might be a custom script which syncs just the recent_projects properties between multiple .conf files. The script would of course need access to the files being synced. The script itself would be relatively simple. The Studio instances being synced would need to be shut down during the process.
Not sure either of those would be worth the bother, but I’m throwing out the ideas anyway… 
Cheers,
-Max

Max, good answer. Kind of what I was thinking, however, I’d rather not blow up three instances of BS on three different machines. You’re right, it’s really not worth the effort, just something I think about every time I open BS on a different computer 
. Not a fan of scripting or messing with .cfg files these days. Thanks for the response!
