  We have multiple SQLyog licenses and we'ld like to copy/transfer the connection definitions from one computer to another one that is also running SQLyog.
  
  However, I can't find an export/import option for doing that. So how can I accomplish this?
  
  Best regards,

  Just copy/backup the SQLyog.ini file and paste in AppData folder (same path) of another system where there is SQLyog.
  
  Exact file path is:
  
  For Windows XP/2003:
  
  C:documents and settingsuserapplication dataSQLyogsqlyog.ini
  
  For Windows Vista/2008/Win7:
  
  C:UsersuserAppDataRoamingSQLyogsqlyog.ini
  
  Please note that the 'AppData' folder is a hidden folder. You need to unhide it from Control Panel .. folder options.

  Thanks, that works. But a simple export/import feature from the SQLyog user interface would be more than welcome.

  I have added this request here: http://code.google.com/p/sqlyog/issues/detail?id=1728
  
  But as long as we store the connection settings in a plain text file ('SQLyog.ini') I don't think we will implement this.
  
  However seen in the context of other requests for the connection manager (filtering and sorting of connections, 'tagging' connections – whatever) that would requrie (or at least benefit from) a more database-like storage of these data we may consider in the future.

  Hello all
  
  In Windows 8.1 the ini file is at
  
  :UsersAppDataLocalVirtualStoreProgram Files (x86)SQLyog
  
  e.g.:
  
  C:Usersuser_nameAppDataLocalVirtualStoreProgram Files (x86)SQLyog
  
  Cheers,

  @Polonia – thanks so much for posting those paths to a 3yr old thread on the exact day I’m looking to migrate! 😀

  There also is an option in menu .. tools .. Export/Import Connection details.
  
  (maybe there wasn’t when this thread started)
