Title: Upgrade from mc15 to mc16 -- what happens with the library?
Post by: raldo on June 28, 2011, 04:32:06 pm
Does the installation upgrade the library too?

My standard view library schemes are quite complex and they're more or less mapped 1-1 to theater view.

It's a big job if I have to redo all the views.

During the upgrade process it makes a copy of your default MC15 library and upgrades it. Your original library will be unaffected.

Having said that, I would back up your library before installing MC16. From the server, click File -> Library -> Back up Library to start the backup. You should see earlier backup versions in the default directory as well.

Your Theatre View configuration will be reset to the default.

Yes, I noticed that. But my standard views were imported from mc15 (as the first poster pointed out) so the process is far less painful than I thought.

Sorry, I don't use Theater View so I didn't know about the reset.
