Flags in the Properties Window

Post by ricm » 12 Apr 2010 19:09

I have recently transferred all my projects to a new PC - Windows 7/64 bit and all is well with that.

In my version 4 that ran on my old XP machine I had set up a number of flags and added these to a 'Flags' tab which also had the default 'Living' and 'Private' flags. I think I must also have selected the version 3 compatibility option because I also had a 'Detail' tab which I found more friendly than the 'more...' link on the 'Main' tab.

I have a copy of C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersApplication DataCalico PieFamily Historian from my old machine but which of the files do I need to copy across (I presume a direct copy and paste will work OK) to resinstate the 'Flags' tab and the various flag fields I created. I know the destination for my Windows 7 will be C:ProgramDataCalico PieFamily Historian - the same as indicated in the http://www.fhug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id ... e_settings link.

I believe the various custom flag values are present in the project data - but until the tab and the display is reinstated theses values are simply invisible.

Thanks for any pointers,
Ric

You simply copy the whole Calico Pie folder across, which will move all your settings or if you prefer, just copy the Property Box Folder across.

Make sure FH is not running on either machine when you copy the data.
