What is a .USERPREFS file?
USERPREFS is an XML file storing a developer’s per-solution IDE state - open documents, cursor positions and breakpoints - for MonoDevelop / Unity’s old script editor.
- Did you know
- Because it only holds personal editor state, .userprefs is one of the files projects usually exclude from version control.
- Because a .userprefs holds personal IDE state, it is normally excluded from version control so each developer's setup stays their own.
- MonoDevelop, whose format this is, was the cross-platform IDE that also powered Unity's older script editor and Xamarin Studio.
- What Analyser shows you
- Open Visual Studio solution files - the classic text .sln and the newer XML .slnx (Visual Studio 2022 and the dotnet sln tooling) - in the browser: the solution format version and Visual Studio release, every project it groups (name, path, language and GUID) and the build configurations (Debug/Release platforms). MonoDevelop / Unity .userprefs files - the IDE's open documents and editor state - are shown as readable XML.
- Open a .USERPREFS file
- Drag a .USERPREFS file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It opens entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
