10:32:39 <dkcarlson> Hi. I am testing John's November 17 windows release of GnuCash. I have noticed that none of my saved reports migrated automatically. Is there a way to migrate them manually?
10:35:22 *** O01eg has joined #gnucash
10:40:09 <warlord> dkcarlson: what versions frpm/to?
10:43:03 <dkcarlson> I am testing a migration from 2.4.13 or 2.4.14 to 2.6.4 nov 17 in Windows 7. I may or may not have dabbled a little with 2.6.3 in this instance of Windows.
10:43:33 <dkcarlson> I meant from 2.4.13 or 2.4.15
10:45:52 *** ErKa has joined #gnucash
10:48:40 *** uXuss has joined #gnucash
10:48:55 <warlord> Ah. Saved reports do not migrate from 2.4 to 2.6
10:49:42 <dkcarlson> I just realized that perhaps there are no saved reports here, as I never migrated them from my other computer
10:50:27 <warlord> that could do it too.
10:51:53 <dkcarlson> so my question just got a little more involved. First I need to follow the directions in the FAQ to migrate to this instance of Windows before migrating to 2.6
10:53:21 <dkcarlson> the next question would be how to migrate in one step from 2.4 on computer A to 2.6 on computer B
10:55:35 <dkcarlson> I suppose that it could be generalized even more to cross operating systems, although I am not trying that today.
10:56:43 *** uXus has quit IRC
11:01:48 <gjanssens> dkcarlson: 90% of the migration is done by copying over your data files and the .gnucash directory in your user's home dir
11:02:09 <gjanssens> What's missing would be your preferences in gconf
11:02:41 <gjanssens> If you copy the .gconfd directory in your home directory as well, your first 2.6 startup will migrate most of them
11:03:05 <gjanssens> That is on the assumption that you haven't run 2.6 yet on the new machine
11:03:20 <gjanssens> as the migration will be attempted only once
11:05:55 <dkcarlson> Interesting! I think a lot of users will, like me, say Oops. Is there a way to force a fresh migration. Is there a certain file to delete, for example?
11:11:20 *** Hamaryns has quit IRC
11:25:29 <gjanssens> dkcarlson yes there is
11:26:09 <gjanssens> GnuCash sets a hidden switch in the Windows registry after the first (successful?) migration
11:26:24 <gjanssens> With a tool like regedit you can remove this switch
11:26:53 <gjanssens> Or even the complete set of existing 2.6 preferences if you like to start clean
11:27:44 <gjanssens> The preferences are stored under : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GSettings\org\gnucash
11:27:59 *** aqua___ has joined #gnucash
11:28:12 <gjanssens> If you delete that whole tree, it's as if gnucash never ran
11:28:27 <gjanssens> If you only want to force the preferences migration, you can change
11:29:17 <gjanssens> value "migrate-prefs-done" under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GSettings\org\gnucash\general to 0
11:29:50 <gjanssens> Note that not all preferences can be migrated
11:30:31 <gjanssens> Several gui related preferences are not (like column widths, visibility of columns, window positions,...)
11:31:04 <gjanssens> The ones affecting your data should be.
11:31:16 <dkcarlson> One would need to follow the usual precautions for registry edits, most notably, back up the registry first, of course.
11:31:23 <gjanssens> It is worth to scan through them after migration and make corrections if needed
11:31:29 <gjanssens> Of course :)

12:55:15 <dkcarlson> As reported in Bug 738477 I also see no charts in reports that are supposed to have them (Version 2.6.4 nov 17 Windows)
