NEW: Faster and More Thorough Upgrade

<< < (4/6) > >>

lboregard:
this was on windows 11

in any case, i was doing an upgrade from jriver 30 to jriver 32

the upgrade process left me with an empty library, so i had to go for a restore from the 30 library

not sure if it asked the question about settings, i think it did and i think i said yes

JimH:
Could you try restoring again?  You could save your current library as a backup first if you want to return to it.

Vocalpoint:
"When you install MC32 for the first time, it will search for a library first from MC31, then MC30, and so on, until it finds one.  The previous method searched from the oldest version forward, so this method is faster"


Just wanted to chime in here and say that when I did a pair of v32 upgrades about 3 weeks ago (one with a local v30 library and another connecting to our media server) - in both cases - the "new" v32 install - did not find anything whatsoever.

I understand there continues to be challenges with a "media server" client - but my local library (v30) instance also did not do anything special.

It fired up normally - but fired up to a normal empty library - posting up that usual "Do you want me to scan your entire machine for stuff" dialog etc.

I had to "introduce" v32 to my v30 backup library just like I always have to do.

Now - this process is/was fast and easy as always - but I simply wanted to mention that I did not notice anything cool or out of the ordinary at first install to make this a more "faster and thorough upgrade" as this post seems to indicate.

Love number 2. Good idea! I always uninstall the previous versions once the new version is stable.

1. Include the C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center XX\Data\Tooltip folder. I have some icons in here from the Customized Tooltip and Theater Views configurations from way back that I've been too lazy to convert, and I just like them as they are. :)


2. After installation, maybe prompt to uninstall the version it upgraded from? Just thought.

I recently upgraded from MC31 to MC32. The MC31 library was found and installed, however the MC31 program settings were not. I ended up manually changing options by matching Tools/Options screens with both programs loaded. After reading the above, would the preferred way to import the settings from MC31 be to (1) backup the newly installed MC32 installed during the upgrade; (2) restore that just-created backup over the just backed-up library AND with the settings checkbox selected? That is, there is no way for the upgrade to carry over the settings during the upgrade itself?
