Re: [LegacyUG] Transferring Customization Files from Version 8 to 9

[Cathy Pinner]

Legacy 9 settings are kept in exactly the same location as Legacy 8 
settings ( ...\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\_AppData\ folder - 
particularly the usr folder in that folder) which is one of the reasons 
why you can't run Legacy 8 and Legacy 9 on the same computer.


To save your colour settings, make sure you save your selection as a 
colour scheme. I add my initials to the beginning of the filename so I 
can see at a glance which are my modified or built schemes. They're 
saved in ...\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\_AppData\ColorSchemes\ folder.


Installing Legacy 9 should keep most of your customisations specially as 
the Family File specific ones are also saved in your Family File. 
However it's worth going through Options - Customise as there are some 
new options particularly in section 8 and some have changed from global 
to Family File specific - particularly in section 5.

In the past, the new version installed right over the old version and all
the configuration files were wiped out. From 6 to 7, and again, from 7 to
8.

ll install right over the v8 folder. There will be some new options in
Options > Customize, but the ones you have already selected  should not be
changed.

[LegacyUG] Transferring Customization Files from Version 8 to 9

[s megraw]

I am about to install Version 9 and am not clear how I can retain my settings 
from V8 (colors, fonts, reports). I am assuming these customization files will 
be overwritten when I install the newer version. Could someone walk me through 
the steps to install V9 and still retain my settings from V8?


Thanks
