Is there a way to export workspace settings?

The problem is, I work with a two-monitor setup. One is the actual working area with a painstakingly constructed layout of panels, the other one has a synchronized window with a full-screen Preview. Every once in a while I accidentally close the working area window, and because Bridge only saves a "current state" in workspaces, my painstakingly crafted window is just gone, poof (sound effect, not slang).

I know I can save a duplicate working space. That makes it somewhat easier, but I still have to delete the botched working space and create it again as a copy of the duplicate. This, coupled with the fact that the first stage of any troubleshooting on Bridge is to nuke all settings, makes me a bit uneasy with the solution.

I would be very grateful if someone knew of a way to export workspace settings so I could just load them back in when I mess up or Bridge does.

      Thanks! The files are there and I will test them out shortly. Do you happen to know what the !! means in front of the workspace files?

      Daag Omke!

      Would you mind disclosing the resolution of your 30" monitor in terms of pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high) ?  I'm just curious to see how such a large monitor compares to my two side-by-side 22" monitors.

      Hallo mr de Gokker!

      Nice to see you also here

      The resolution I use with my 30 " is the default one and set to 2560 x 1600 pixels

      If I can take a little 'gamble' I assume the total pixel amount of 2 x 22" will be more, but I never could get used on the two monitor set up. I just like my tools to be close to the image I work on, and using the pen tool with a lot of Brushing and switching to different layers and combine this with action pallet in button mode that needs also a lot of pressing it would be to often en to much distance to travel for my hand, but that's just personal.
