Where is "Favorites" information kept

[lwhitty]

I'm looking to merge my favorite wallpapers between the multiple computers I use. Where is the Favorites metadata kept?

1. First, export Bing JSON Data or enable 'Always Export Bing Data' in the Debug settings:

2. The 'favourite' key is set to true in JSON when you favourite it (the same JSON is also used internally in gsettings).

If you share this folder between two machines (Dropbox, Nextcloud, whatever) you can export on one machine and import on the other to merge the image sets (importing merges the image set, rather than overwriting it), and vice versa. That said I've not extensively tested this, so you may encounter bugs. I'd recommend backing up the exported .JSON files just in case.

You can also back up settings with gsettings, but that's too fiddly to recommend here.
