Resources maybe. Preferences tricky.

However, there is a File->Backup/Restore feature that could be used (when I get around to debugging it).

However, I can probably arrange for two or more systems to share a common set of settings/databases/etc. as an option.

I'll check those and see. They might be Robin L-M's bailiwick though.

Preferences, other, catalog preferences for where the catalogs are kept. There’s no way to control where images are kept, you have to copy or import. Preferences and resources, same thing.

For various reasons I would like to make the 64-bit partition my primary partition.  The only real use for the 32-bit partition will be for imaging since one of my astro cameras (Meade DSI) does not have a 64-bit driver written for it.  I would like to install AP on both partitions and be able to share the common data files (catalogs, image, planning data, observation, etc) between the two installs.  Using AP’s “Help>Where Are My Files option you can display where each is installed.  I was hoping there was a technique where these locations could be “user defined”.
