Computer Wide Solution Settings
I work within a few different solutions. I spent a lot of time configuring my settings, both the Visual IDE Tab settings and the coding style settings (Ctl+Alt+S). When I opened a different solution it was all back to the default.
Is there a way to have both the visual tab settings and the coding style settings save, so every time I open a new solution they are used?

Hello Ashley,
Rider uses multiple settings layers - some of them are solution-wide while the others are IDE. It sounds like the Editor Tab and the Code Style settings were saved in one of the solution layers (Solution personal or Solution team-shared). You can open the solution you have configured earlier and save the Rider settings to This computer layer explicitly (Save->This Computer)
Kirill Filin,
Thank you - this fixed the layer based settings.
The visual ide tab settings are still not working - for example, Rider defaults the unit test tab to be docked at the bottom. I like mine docked on the left. Is there a way to sync this across all solutions for the computer?
Thanks for the update!
You can save the Tool Window layout via Window->Store Current Layout as Default. Note that you will need to use Window->Restore Default Layout once in every project/solution opened in Rider prior to the default layout changes.
Thank you! This fixed all my problems.
Glad it helped! Feel free to contact us if you have any other questions.
Have a nice day!
