I suppose the answer, but I need to assure.

Yesterday I copy a tasklist with three alarmed tasks. 
To my surprise the alarms dissapeared in the target pc. 
I had installed ToDoList in portable mode. 

I suppose that export the tasklist may solve the problem, but not copying...
Where is the file that control the calendar ?
I suppose is an unique file for all the tasklists...

What happen if a tasklist is closed . When up the alarm ?
I would like to know how function and how i can backup 

Best Regards

Task reminders are stored in the preferences file because, with shared tasklists, different people might want different reminders.

I lost the commands again.
I need to know how to maintain and copy. 
The preferences file is Y:\PORTABLES\Oficina\ToDoList\ToDoList.ini ?
As you see I have installed in a data internal disk as portable
The laptop have basically the same structure. 
I am manual synchronizing to the more recent file when decide to use the laptop in other places...
The files I opened are in : 
Y:\GABINETE\PROYECTOS\MODELOS\CONTROL\TaskLists
In this path I have de TDL extension files. 
I see other file in resources : 
Y:\PORTABLES\Oficina\ToDoList\Resources\CalcTime_Spent_eng.xsl
is this the preferences file for commands ?

Best Regards

Note : I would like to know the procedure for not lose alarms (commands)

Yes. All the other files are part of the installation and don't need to be backed up unless you modify them.

Then is the way i am doing the backup or something. 
I am using free Syncback and fails. 
I have two tries : 
1. Make a copy from the more recent files (not synchronizing with syncback)
2. try to synchronize with Free Sync Files from Sourceforge. 

Best Regards

I have been edited the ini file : 
[FileStates\373.17.tdl\Reminders\Reminder3]
AbsoluteDate=43009,541667
Enabled=1
LastSnoozeMins=0
Relative=0
Snooze=0,000000
SoundFile="C:\Windows\media\tada.wav"
TaskID=186

If I save the 373.tdl "save as" I will duplicate the alarms ?

I see don't copy some attributes of the original file. 

Also when we rename a file tdl  i don't observ change in the name of the file because what appear in the top of the main window is the label Project. 
So if I save as 374.17 I continue seeing 373.17 everywhere in the main window of the program. 
So the option save tasklist as ... may be a little misunderstanding. 
What other attributes are not saved with the option Save tasklist as ... ?

Today a stickie come as a reminder.
