Where is the window layout stored? + question on default layout
Hello,
I noticed that Rider can have one layout for all projects or one per project. I got a second screen and created a nice layout for one of my projects that uses both screens. I thought I might be able to copy that over to all my existing projects but couldn't find a file where it is stored, so I'd like to know how Rider saves window layouts.
Also, can you tell me what happens when I click the menu entry “Use the same layout for all projects” (with currently per-project selected)? Will Rider use the current layout for all projects? How does that work, where would that one layout then be stored?
I am on Rider 2025.2.3 and on Linux (KDE + X11).
Thanks in advance!

We apologize for the delay in responding to your request.
If you select "Window | Layout Settings" from the main menu and then choose "Use the same layout for all projects," the current layout will be saved for all projects. When you open another solution in Rider, this layout will be applied to it automatically. There's no need to manually copy any configuration file to all projects.
Could you please try it and let me know if you will have any issues with that?
