Reset panes to default view | Backup settings & packages ?

[ghost]

Not really an issue. Would kindly love to know how I could reset the panes view to their default state when Atom Portable runs the first time. Messed around with the View -> Panes -> Split Up options and now I cannot get them to "merge" again.

Looked here https://discuss.atom.io/t/restore-to-default-settings-setting/3664 but obviously could not find an ".atom" folder since this is the portable version.

In the end I deleted the entire Atom Portable folder and started fresh, though that led me to having to install all packages again as well.

If you have a clue how to just reset the panes view to Atom's default setting I am all ears.

Also, I guess if I would like to make a backup of all packages and settings like I prefer them I would just have to make a copy of the Atom Portable folder, correct?

Or is there another way, perhaps just backing up one settings file?

Thank you for your help.
