ARGH! Any way to get back my old paths??

HELP ... this is urgent...

as I am not going to enter about 50 paths again in RC.
I'd like it if RC could keep the paths I used in beta 2.
Tried beta 3 - beta 6 and always got either an empty path list or a mere 'No data files found select one from the menu' or similar.

Please (PLEASE) give the user a way to import his "old" paths.
Otherwise I will continue using b2 for all times, as I will not enter all this stuff again.

Thanks

Keep using the beta 2.... until I create an utility to move config from registry to ini file...

Have you started working on it Eric? If not, perhaps i could try creating one so you can concentrate on RC development. I can't promise anything quickly but i believe it won't take 2-3 years...

No, not yet.
It would be great !

It's quite simple, registry and ini structure is identical.
Don't bother with new 2.70 entries, they will be created when needed.

Thanks Eric.

So I will indeed use beta 2 then for the time being and live with this handful of bugs, countable on one HALF (!) hand, not even a full one, as b2 really works great.

Hi andy1. Please visit the following site. You'll find there a tool that does exactly what you need.

well this is what I like.

You say the magic word ('please', that is) and ye shall receive.

Thanks very very much Wanderer!
This thread has attracted lots of attention it seems, so I don't seem to be the only one that needs this.

... works nicely, but I had to mess with some ini files.

It seems that the creation of the .ini depends on the executable name.

I have three executables: romcenter.exe (2.62 stable) + romcenterb2.exe + romcenterlatest.exe.

Your tool made me a nice and shiny ROMCENTER.INI but Eric's program thought it was cleverer than yours and created a ROMCENTERLATEST.INI.

No wonder none of my settings were recognized.

I deleted romcenterlatest.ini and copied romcenter.ini (the one created by WRCSManager) to romcenterlatest.ini. All sorted now.

yes

This way you can have multiple romcenter versions with different ini files

I'm glad it helped.

I'm planning to add some extra features in it (hopefully in the near future). I have in mind a mass-settings manager in order to be able to easily and massivelly change some of RC's settings (i.e. split/merged files, fix parameters, etc) in all datafiles that exist in the INI file. If you have any more ideas, please post them here...

Hmmm, i'll try to do something about that.
