Thumbs 7 to Thumbs 9 settings migration
« on: 2014-09-13 16:09:54 »
Is there a way to copy or import settings from Thumbs 7 into a new installation of Thumbs 9 SP1?

It would be very useful if I could get such items as my custom toolbar settings, views, favorites, etc.

I'm aware of files that stored some information from Thumbs 7, and perhaps there are equivalents in 9:
Quick Batch (.tpb)
Contact Sheet Schemes (.tso)
Print Setting Schemes (.tsp)

Thanks.

David

No, I'm afraid there isn't.

Some templates (e.g. web wizard) don't seem to have changed but other customized items that you may have, such as batch commands, will no longer work because the format has changed.

Thanks for the reply. Are the T9 formats likely to remain the same for at least the next version of Thumbs? If so, I'll start re-creating them, otherwise I may wait.

I don't know for sure, but it seems likely that they won't change. The biggest changes were made going from v7 to v8.

Thanks. I'll start to add the features I still want to keep.
