Import options and aspects from previous versions of Proastro
Since version 2.5.0 of Proastro, options and aspects files which were binary
are now in portable xml format.
This is to facilitate adding new options, as well as migrating options/aspects from an
old version to the newer version.
This dialog allows you to translate options.pra and aspects.pra binary files (located in
the private directory of your old version) into options.xml and aspects.xml (created in the private directory of your current version).
Note that some options are not imported:
- Paths to directories and files that depend on your current installation, not on the previous installation.
- The background image for drawing astro chart.
Dialog description:
Options to import:
- Options: check to import options.pra
- Aspects: check to import aspects.pra
Version:
The old version; Proastro 247, Proastro 248, Proastro 249
Private directory:
This is the Proasto private directory where the binary files to import, options.pra and aspects.pra, are located.
Note:
A backup of your current options.xml and aspects.xml files is made.
To reverse the import, exit Proastro, and for example for options,
delete options.xml and rename the most recent backup file,
eg options2022_08_09_09_07_02_00.xml to options.xml
For aspects, if whished, the same manipulation must be done.
