* Box conditions - Backup and Restore?

[wulliam]

I've managed to get my text schemes shared between my desktop and laptop by using the Backup and Restore plugin.

How do I achieve the same result for my icons controlled by expressions within the Boxes tab of the Diagram Options window? At the moment none of the Conditions (constructed on my desktop) appear on my laptop.

Thanks!

William, you are confusing a few things.
Diagram Text Schemes have nothing to do with Box Conditions and Icons.
Those are governed by customised Diagram Types via the Boxes tab.

However, the Backup & Restore FH Settings Plugin deals with all those components and it should have produced a message regarding Icon files.

If the Icon files used are within the C:\ProgramData\Calico Pie\Family Historian\Icons then they migrate well.

If you keep your Icon files elsewhere, the Plugin provides details in the ...\Backup\Family Historian folder.
ImageList.txt lists where the images are used and their path.
All the .bmp Icon files are included.

So either use your own folders on the desktop, or the Plugin files, move the Icon files to where needed on the laptop.
Preferably, put them in the default Icons folder.
Then in the Diagram > Options > Boxes tab for each custom Diagram Type you must relink the Icons.

Thanks Mike.
And I thought I'd understood
Will try that when I get back to my desktop... currently sitting in a hot car whilst my daughter sees her best friend for the first time in 10 weeks!
