MC20 to MC21 - What user data gets automatically migrated?

(1/5) > >>

OverTheAir:
I have installed MC21 over the top of MC20.  Seems to have gone OK but its not clear what user data/settings are supposed to automatically transfer ... and conversely which do not? 

1. Do I need to restore the last library version from MC20 to make sure all changes I've made in MC20 get restored/selected for MC21? 
2. Cover Art in the "C:\Users\John\AppData\Roaming\J River\Media Center 21\Cover Art" has not been updated to reflect the contents in the similar MC20 Covert Art directory.  Does this have to be manually changed?  I had to do this when I migrated recently from MC19 to MC20 so I'm wondering if I am doing something wrong when I upgrade from one version to the next?  When I didn't manually migrate this cover art for MC 19->20 I ended up with incorrect images being created for shows/seasons that subsequently needed correcting.
3. Anything else I need to/should do for the migration?
Thanks
John

ferday:
everything should transfer over just fine, all settings etc.   i just made the crossover and as usual everything is set as it was with MC20. 

as to the cover art...you can cut/paste into the MC21 folder, or conversely go into options>file location>cover art and change the folder name from MC21 to MC20 and everything will be as it was

imeric:
skins don't transfer

ferday:
i use a modified Noire (modified simply through the skin effects tool) and it has transferred from 19-20-21 with all my changes intact

i don't use fancy "non default" skins so i can't answer that

mwillems:
The upgrade dumped my zoneswitch settings (even after a library restore), so you might want to write those down.  Otherwise everything migrated across nicely, including built thumbnails (which someone else reported that they lost).
