I have Trillian Pro 2 and I spent a lot of time setting up meta contacts and groups. Now I want to transfer that information from my laptop to my desktop PC.

Anyone know how?

I’m not at home right now so I am not quite sure if this works… but you might want to copy the buddies.xml file from the Trillian folder to the other computer.

Copy the whole users folder if you want to keep all your settings.
(The users folder contains the Buddies.xml that magistyk mentions.)

Thanks guys. I copied the buddies.xml and that did the trick. What other settings might I be missing by not copying the whole folder?

Basically anything you might have set in your preferences (skins, events etc). If you haven’t customized anything, Buddies.xml should be enough.
