Move portable install to new location while keeping custom commands

I am running Exiftool in portable mode along with the GUI. It works just fine. I created a custom command to geotag photos from a GPX file, and that part also works fine.

My question is I wish to move this Exiftool folder to a new computer, which also worked.  However, my custom command does not show up.  The program opens to its default state.  That one saved command is no longer there.  I thought since I run Exiftools as a portable app, I could copy the folder to another computer or location and it would work with whatever saved settings/customizations I had.

Is there a way to move/copy the portable app folder to a different computer while retaining any customizations I have?

The default location for the settings is: %APPDIR%\ExifToolGui\ExifToolGuiV6.ini. Copy that file to the new computer.

If you want GUI to use the ini file, alongside the executable specify '/IniPath=%P' in the shortcut.

To copy individual settings use these program menu's.
