Log4OM

I currently haveLog4OM installed on a WindowsXP 32bit machine and am now setting it up on a Windows 7 64 bit machine. Things on the XP machine are generally set up how I would like it to appear on the Win 7 system. Column widths / headings etc etc. When I make backups of my XP system it saves 2 files.. the log, and the settings. I have searched through the manual and looked at every settings page and cannot see how I can import those saved settings in to the new installation. Would someone please point me to the right area.....

thank you
John

Just copy the config and communicator config XML files from the c:\.............\roaming\logom folder on the old machine into the corresponding folder on the new one.

This is covered on pages 156 onward in the user guide

Thanks heaps Terry.. I searched, (obviously using the wrong search words) but couldn't fine the info.....

I have performed the copy.. deleted the old files, renamed the copied over files, restarted Log4OM and things open in the previously saved positions but the changes I made on the old setup to column widths / column headers / additional columns I added that are not in a default setup have apparently not been saved because those items remain as per a default setup I have also searched the entire drive for a c:\.............\roaming\logom folder too... cannot find anything at all with 'roaming' . I think I must have missed something. Any Ideas ?

<EDIT> I found 'roaming' it is on the Win7 machine not the XP one. What I did was click " help/open configuration folder " on the XP machine, copy every file and folder there, save them to my usb stick then take the stick to the Win7 machine (oh for a network... one day...) and then use all those files/folders on the stick to replace those in the " help/open configuration folder " that comes up on the Win 7 machine. This has restored the columns and headings etc..

However, doing it this way is OK when you have two machines like I have right now, but it does appear that the backup being created is missing vital information, such as these columns and headings.

John

I will check that out, I thought we saved the column widths and heading in the configs but I could be wrong

those informations are saved in your VISUALIZATION CONFIGS, the xml files with _user at their end

Would it be possible to have every file needed for a proper restore to be saved when 'backup' is clicked, and when 'back up on shutdown' is done ???

John

I agree with John.
Actually in the backup folder we have
_config.xml
_CommunicatorConfig.xml
theuserdatabase.adi


Pse Daniele, in the next release , can you:
include all the _user files too in the backup process:D ?
give us a restore config files too (the other side of the coin) ?

Umpf
you're not Geek enough...


ok
