2. Where user preferences are stored

The preferences specified in this dialog box are stored in w2x_user_preferences_dir/w2x-app.properties, a Java™ property file (an ISO-8859-1 text file using a very simply key :value format).

W2x user preferences directory is:

  • $HOME/.w2x/ on Linux.

  • $HOME/Library/Application Support/XMLmind/WordToXML/ on the Mac.

  • %APPDATA%\XMLmind\WordToXML\ on Windows. Example: C:\Users\john\AppData\Roaming\XMLmind\WordToXML\.

If you cannot see the "AppData" directory using Microsoft Windows File Manager, turn on Tools>Folder Options>View>File and Folders>Show hidden files and folders.
