A closed thread suggests copying over Mp3tagSettings.zip, but this does not work. Is there a way to do this? Thanks.

it should work as that file contains all the configuration settings, including the filters.
You cannot, though, at the moment save only the filters and import them in a different installation.
Unless you use a plain text file, save the really used filters there and apply them in the new installation one after the other.
possibly a copy of the file mp3tag.cfg would be the closest you could get.

Ok, that worked. Needed both _Mp3tagSettings.zip_ and _mp3tag.cfg_. Thanks.

Mp3TagSettings.zip contains mp3tag.cfg.

If the already transferred mp3tagsettings.zip does not work, then this could indicate that source- and target installtions are in a different mode: standard vs. portable.
