Feature: Synchronize settings across app instances
Author: d2dyno1Created Oct 17, 2021Updated Sep 11, 2026
What's the Problem?
If multiple instances of Files are open, changing settings in one instance doesn't reflect changes in other instances.
Solution/Idea
Changing settings in one instance should reflect the changes in respective instances. Thanks to the new way we serialize settings, it is possible to make this change.
Requirements
Changing settings in one instance should reflect the changes in other instances.
Files Version
v2
Windows Version
