Version 3.0 Upgrade Information
If you are upgrading ConnectedText from a version prior of 3.0, you should know the following:
- Before version 3.0, all user data (projects, icons, scripts, configuration files) was stored under ConnectedText program folder. In version 3.0 such files are stored in folder ConnectedText under My Documents in order to make ConnectedText be more compliant with Windows Vista. During installation all user data is moved to its new location. If you constantly move projects around don't forget that now they are stored in folder My Documents\ConnectedText\Projects. Note that My Documents folder may have a different name if you Windows is not in English. Also, in Vista the name is Documents instead of My Documents.
- Project data has a new database structure in version 3.0. During installation all data is converted to it automatically. If a project is not converted, for instance, due data be stored in a removable drive not available during installation, it will be converted next time it is opened by ConnectedText.
- If you are upgrading from beta version 2.5.0.14 or later then it is necessary to reindex all projects after version 3.0 is installed. To do that open the Project manager (File->Open), and for each project execute function Reindex (Tools->Reindex).
We suggest making a complete backup of ConnectedText program folder before upgrading. You can make a complete copy of the folder in a different location. If anything goes wrong just erase ConnectedText folder program entirely and restore it using the backup copy.
