Over the years I´ve got used to transfer my profile from one computer to
another with SM 1.1.x using the following method:
1- Creating a folder structure in the new computer like this:
D:\SMprofiles\MyProfile
2- Copying all files and folders under the "MyProfile" folder from the old
computer to the "MyProfile" folder at the new computer.
3- Starting the Profile Manager in the new computer, starting a new profile
creation and selecting the same profile name and folder location.
From this point on, SM 1.1.x assumes all files already there as
belonging to the new profile and works normally.
But, this method does not seem to work for SM 2.x, because the previous
profile data is not recognized.
The difference is that the SM 1.x Profile Manager asks you to specify
the path to the parent folder of the actual profile (which is contained
in a folder called <random>.slt) while the SM 2 Profile Manager asks you
for the actual profile folder (called <random>.<profilename> by
default). Anyway, with SM 2 you can edit the paths directly in
profiles.ini and skip the whole Profile Manager configuration.
