If you are already a Freeplane user, you may want to transfer your previous settings to the new preview version. After installation you can copy your configuration files to the following folders depending on the OS you use:
- under (old) Windows: %appdata%\Freeplane\1.2.x
- Windows 7: %user%\AppData\Roaming\Freeplane\1.2.x (Only visible if Show hidden files is turned ON)
- under Mac and Linux: ~/.freeplane/1.2.x
- Portable Freeplane: [INSTALL]/Data/Freeplane/1.2.x
You can open this directory in a file manager via the Freeplane menu under Tools -> Open User Directory.
