Title: Theater View settings not copied into upgrade
Post by: laerm on November 15, 2011, 09:32:48 pm

Hi all --

So, I think I've had this problem before and I could never figure out why this happens. When upgrading versions, the settings from Theater View aren't copied over like the rest of the options. (I.e all of the views configured and so on...) Is there a way to copy the settings over from MC16 to 17?

Thanks!
Micah

Responding to my own post so this doesn't happen: http://xkcd.com/979/ (http://xkcd.com/979/)

I found where these settings live in MC16: User Settings.ini under [user]/AppData/Roaming/MC v16/Temp/Settings. At least, I think that's them. There's also a theater view.jmd file (or something similar) that looks like it could have an effect too. Problem is, there's no corresponding files under the MC v17 folder in the same path. Grr! Why did this happen, guys? I had some very wonderful and complex Theater View settings set up but they didn't get copied when I upgraded to v17 (just like the upgrade from v15 to v16). Halp?!

Thanks...
Micah

This version doesn't support previous version Theater View settings.  Sorry.  You will need to set them up fresh.
