updating a portable installation

Post by HB9BRJ »

Hi all,

In the past I used to update my portable version by copying the new version on top of the previous version, but only overwriting older files. This led to an empty awards list in version 2.12.0 and I was told to overwrite all files in the folder of my portable version.
When updating to 2.13.0 I followed this advice but lost all my table layouts. All available columns were shown and I had to reconfigure column visibility and sequence. In order to do better with the next update, I would like to know where the table layouts are stored. Thank you!

Marcus,
In any release if we have been working on the grid layouts e.g. editing field lengths or adding fields then after the update is installed it is necessary to force the use of a default set which displays all available fields.

Therefore its necessary for the user to edit the layout, this is unfortunate but it ensures that the user has the benefit of the changes.
