where is address manager list

I'm using portable Viewer 6.5.0.8. When I click Manage -> Address book manager, I get a pop-up window with list of address book files (.xml) that I've added with the 'Add' button. Some are checked (display in the viewer), some are not (don't display).

My question is, where is the list stored? Is in the connections_4.xml file? I thought that just stored what was in the General Address Book--which I typically keep empty and this file appears to be empty.

Or the config_4.xml file? I can't see it in there, unless it's encrypted. There is an optAddressBook key but it's value is just a 4,000 character string.

I ask because I want to preserve this address book file list and checked/unchecked status when switching between versions of the viewer.

Hello John,

Thank you for your message.

I'm not sure I know the answer but I will forward your question to our development to clarify.

Just curious, why would you want this?

Hello John,

The list that you mentioned is stored in the config_4.xml. So if you want to copy this list into another portable Viewer (or Viewer installation) you just need to copy this file in its appropriate destination.
