/data/data/com.ghisler.android.TotalCommander
This brings you to an otherwise hidden directory with the Total Commander settings - just copy them to sd card.
To restore, create the same button again and copy the files back. IMPORTANT: After copying, you then need to close TC via task manager so it doesn't overwrite its settings on exit.

Thank you!!!
But why you don't include this workaround in a simple "save config" - "load config" command in Main Menue?

Hello.
Support this great idea.
TC is worlds the best configurable file manager, and this feature will complement it very well.
I install TC to a lot of my friend and relative, then l tune TC like my TC, this really hard: buttons, bookmarks, internet associations, settings, etc.
It would be great if there was a button (export/inport) in the settings menu.
And I could send the file via bluetooth to other phone and that would be amazing.
I hope you will make that in future.
Thanks in advance.

I will consider it. The problem is that the plugins have their own settings which are not accessible from Total Commander.

If you add the ability to export/import only the TC settings that would be already great.

Hi,
what's about providing an interface for PlugIns? Providing some BlackBox memory, which can be fully managed by PlugIns, but which is stored with the configuration data as a blob ...

I backup the apk and data on the old device with adb.exe on a Windows computer and Smartphone connected with USB:

adb backup -f totalcmd-backup.ab -apk com.ghisler.android.TotalCommander
adb backup -f tcpluginsLAN-backup.ab -apk c com.ghisler.tcplugins.LAN
adb backup -f tcplugins_SFTP-backup.ab -apk c com.ghisler.tcplugins.SFTP
adb backup -f tcplugin_FTP-backup.ab -apk c com.ghisler.tcplugins.FTP

And restore it in the new device:

adb restore totalcmd-backup.ab
adb restore tcpluginsLAN-backup.ab
adb restore tcplugins_SFTP-backup.ab
adb restore tcplugin_FTP-backup.ab

Now I have all my bookmarks (tc, LAN, SFTP, FTP) also on the new device.

Any personal settings missing?

What is the current status? adb backup and Helium no longer work.

Anybody still listening here? I'd be interested in the required status-update, too. It's been quite a while since then.

Why is this an issue? When you setup a new device for the first time, Google offers to restore apps with their data from your older devices.

Ehm, b/c I do not sync to Google or to anywhere else in the notorious cloud. So call me an "alu-hat-guy" - but I don't trust those tech-giants in terms of privacy for 1 mm.
