Hello guys!

I saved my Mp3tag settings for whenever I format my HD I could import them back. I just installed mp3tag on another computer and cant import the settings (actions and columns) that I had set on the 1st computer. I already dragged the new contents of the folder C:\Program Files(x86)\Mp3tag\data\actions  
to the same folder on the 2nd computer, but when I run the software, it only sees the standard presets (case conversion, CD-R and Standard).  
About the "columns" I have no idea on how to fix it.  
Both computers run the same version of Mp3tag

 

Can you guys help me?

 

Thank you!

That's the wrong folder. See here:

The current columns configurations is saved in the columns.ini file.

After watching again the columns settings, I saw how to import the saved settings.  
Thank you anyway!
