Sorry Guys... I know this has been covered before, But I can not find a thread for it...   


I just got me a new Computer, Now I need to set it up. How can I copy MC to this computer and still retain my Smartlists and settings.
I know to back up the Library, But wasn't there a registry that I had to copy?


Thanks

The Library Backup should retain the playlists/smartlists, but it won't retain the settings.  I asked about this myself, but I never found out any method of "moving" my settings to a new system.  I always have to re-setup all my settings when I install MC on my systems.  It would be nice if there was a file that could be created that would allow this -- i.e. a "move MC to another system" button that created a file containing all the "moveable" settings.

Note that you'll have to generate a new license key via the MC site.

I did this recently but just bit the bullet and had to keep switching between both machines to see what else I needed to change. I wanted to just copy the registry tree but I was moving from drive D to C for my library, different CD burner, etc. It would be nice if there was an easy to way to transfer everything applicable.

I didn't realise the backup had the View and Smartlist info.... That was good enough.

Does it have the View info as well?  I thought I remembered having to recreate the view configuration.

I will double check tonight.... But I think it does....
(I didn't have time to check to see if everything was there)

It has the current views, but not the saved view and sorting presets. MC stores the presets in the registry.
