I'm using Equalizer APO 1.4.2 on Windows 11 and it works well. I've been using it for many years now, it's a great app. Now I would like to submit a feature request.
The app folder with all the settings is C:\Program Files\EqualizerAPO\config and it cannot be changed. Normally not an issue, but I have two different Win11 systems I use, and I have Dropbox on both. I also have many headphones and IEMs, and I have a separate config file for each. The various config files are invoked from the main config.txt via include statements.
It would be a great help if I could tell the app to store all its configs in a folder in a completely different location. Hint: that would be somewhere under the Dropbox folder. This way all headphone profiles would be automatically synced between systems. It's a chore to manually keep them in sync, and I often forget to do so, therefore losing changes I've spent quite a lot of time fine-tuning.
I've tried to keep the main config.txt file in the default location, and put the actual headphone profiles under Dropbox, but this doesn't seem to work - looks like the profiles must be in the same folder as the main config.txt file. I would accept the compromise to keep the main config.txt in the default location, but move all the includes into Dropbox - it would not be perfect, but it would still save a lot of tedium.
Thanks a lot!
Knowing Equalizer APO there is a registry key value in which the path for the config.txt can be set:
"ConfigPath" in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\EqualizerAPO
However, issues may arise when using a different path then the default one. But it's worth to try, I guess.
