Moving everything to another machine

Post by Crrispy »

Hello,

I'm starting to learn FS on may main PC, building fixtures, sequences and so on, including Magic 3D easy viewer (great tool!) .. now when I want to migrate on my notebook for live use, which files/directories do I need to copy? Is everything located in the FS directory and subdirs? Does FS use registry entries?

Thanks.

FS has a backup/restore function, it's located in File->Backup/Restore. I believe that if you copy the backup file you get to your notebook, you have all your files back... don't know for 100% sure though...

Thanks, I see that you "can now teach FS to others", LOL! Will try that and see if it exports really everything (I doubt about the 3D viewer stuff but I only need it on the main PC to program/test, so..)

Well, I zip the whole directory, unzip on the notebook over the existing installation and it works fine. Of course also transfers the 3D viewer fixtures, stage, etc... so everything in 1 step.
