Transfere Newspro settings to another PC

Post by Peter »

my old PC is going to be retired.

Now I want to install Newspro on a new PC.
Can I take all my NewsPro settings from the old to the new installation?
(Filters, Newsgroups, Servers to scan etc?)

i think the answer should be on forum already, in short you just copy small .dat files, reg.dat - settings, flt.dat - kill filters, wch.dat - watch, pst.dat - post settings, fld.dat - folders.

you should copy them into the newsly created 'Data' directory (which is contained in the new database directory).

when you start newspro in the first time and it asks you for the directory point it to the newspro database directory (the directory which contains the 'Data' directory, not the 'Data' directory itself).

in the future I'll put all settings files in a separate directory so it will be even easier then.
