Transfer all ReSharper Settings between PCs

Since the export option within Resharper is only for code styles, you’ll need to be a bit craftier for all settings.

From Peter Ritchie’s blog

…the settings are stored in
“%userprofile%\application
data\jetbrains\resharper\v4.0\vs9.0”.
There are a couple of xml files in
there that store your settings.
Before you upgrade to the latest
build, just copy those to another
directory.

It’s very likely that the format of
these files has changed since the last
build so copying the backups over the
new version could possibly make
Resharper to blow-up. So, use with
caution.

I have Resharper 4.1 so instead of “…\v4.0\vs9.0” it’s actually “…\v4.1\vs9.0” (obvious, I know, but worth mentioning).

I’m not sure about StyleCop settings, but this should work for most other settings (keyboard scheme, code completion settings, etc…).
