I just purchased a new laptop, and want to move all my MagicAssistant data over.
I've got a lot of collections and decks, and using import/export will be a very onerous task.
I tried copying the "Collections" and "Decks" folders from c:\windows\documents and settings\User\MagicAssistantWorkspace from the old laptop to the matching location on the new, but when I open MA on the new laptop it doesn't recognize anything from the Decks folder and only one collection from the Collections folder.
What did I miss?
Thanks in advance for help with this great inventory tool,
Rick
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Resolved it...I decided to experiment since the old laptop still works and the new one wasn't working yet.
I deleted the "MagicAssistantWorkspace" folder that was created on the new laptop when I first ran the app, and copied over the entire "MagicAssistantWorkspace" folder from the old laptop, and then ran MagicAssistant on the new laptop.
I could see all my collections and decks!
