Questions and answers

  • What is the purpose of a ".MXADDON backup" file?

    The purpose of a ".MXADDON backup" file is to serve as a backup copy of an MXADDON file. MXADDON files are used in the Maxthon web browser, which is primarily used in China. These files contain add-ons or extensions that enhance the functionality of the browser.

    The ".MXADDON backup" file is created when the user backs up or exports an MXADDON file. It ensures that a copy of the add-on or extension is saved in case of data loss, system crashes, or when transferring the file to another device or browser installation.

    By having a backup file, users can easily restore their add-ons or extensions to their previous state without having to reinstall or reconfigure them. This backup file provides a convenient way to safeguard and restore the customizations made to the Maxthon browser.

  • How can I create a ".MXADDON backup" file for my application?

    To create a ".MXADDON backup" file for your application, you can follow these steps:

    1. Open the application folder on your computer where the ".MXADDON" file is located.
    2. Right-click on the ".MXADDON" file and select "Copy" from the context menu.
    3. Right-click on an empty space in the same folder and select "Paste" from the context menu. This will create a copy of the ".MXADDON" file with a similar name.
    4. Rename the copied file to include the word "backup" or any other identifier to differentiate it from the original file. For example, you can name it "myapp_backup.MXADDON".
    5. Your ".MXADDON" backup file is now created and ready to be used as a backup for your application.

    Remember to regularly create backups of your application files to ensure you have a recent copy in case of any issues or data loss.

  • Is it possible to restore a ".MXADDON backup" file to a different device or system?

Then, you can use the software's restore or import feature to load the .MXADDON backup file. This will bring back the settings, configurations, or data from the backup onto the new device or system.
