Customisation of Diagrams, etc after Upgrade

Post by rfj1001 » 06 Jan 2021 15:39

After upgrading to v7, I successfully switched all icons to be displayed on diagrams from flag to expression generated; I also created a couple of extra census icons for US censuses run in x0 and did various other tweaks to v6 customisation. That is on all on my desktop.

I've now upgraded fh on a new laptop to v7. Both access the same data and media files kept on a NAS. All that is working fine.

However, none of the diagram customisations have come over onto my laptop nor, I think, customisations of the property box. There may be others that I have still to find.

Is there a way (or partial way) of transferring the customisations over and, ideally, keeping them in sync other than manually comparing and re-entering everything.

Many thanks

Yes, use Mike's famous Backup and Restore Family Historian Settings plugin, available from the plugin store. Run it on the desktop to back up all your customisations, then run it on the laptop to restore them.
