Backup/Restore FH Customisations

There is a V1.4 download with Help and Advice pages and a few other minor improvements.

If there are no adverse reports, then I am tempted to publish it in the FH Plugin Store on Friday.

Mike,

I like the help a lot.  It makes it very clear what is going on.  Thanks for the additional info on migrating, I think this will help people a lot.

I do have a couple of comments.

On the download page, there is a problem with the page display.  This Happens to me with both IE9 and Firefox 11.

In the help, the first sentence doesn't flow well around the window.

Thanks!

Bill

Thank you for the feedback Bill.

The truncated Beta Test Download icon is the top part of the FH Icon, and is something that needs to be fixed by Jane, when she has a bit of spare time!!!

The squashed Help and Advice page is due to the Knowledge Base Wiki Sidebar, that has re-appeared when the Knowledge Base Theme changed recently to improved another feature.
I have requested Jane to hide this Wiki Sidebar again on all Plugin Help and Advice pages.

Bill, if your monitor allows, you can increase the size of the Help and Advice window to improve the flow, and the Plugin will remember the new window size.

As of today FH 5.0 Beta starts with an Error message box on every PC.

Presumably this is due to some kind of disabling time-out?

If so, it will prevent any Beta Testers from using Backup and Restore Family Historian Settings V1.4 to Migrate their FH 5.0 Beta settings to FH V5.0!

Don't panic, as long as you don't uninstall FH 5.0 Beta then I have been able to swap the Plugin around so that the Migrate will still work OK by running it from the new FH V5.0.

I will add a V1.5 download with modified Migrate and updated Help and Advice pages soon.
