V9 Restore - doesn't put projects into project file

[Phyl 0]

When installing my projects from V8 to V9, it doesn't go to a project file with the project name but it loads from the lists on the bottom. What do I do to get them to show in the project file.

What you are saying is not at all clear.

 

If you restored a v8 backup to v9, the project will be restored by default to the v9 projects folder.

 

If you want to restore the project to a subfolder in the projects folder, you will need to create that subfolder when you restore.

 

To open a project in the v9 projects folder, you can use File / Open.

 

For any project that you restore to v9, you should open the Preferences / Advanced tab and make sure that all of the paths are set to the v9 paths.

Phyl -

 

The list at the bottom is of last used projects. As Jim said, use File/Open (Ctrl-O) to open a project in the v9 projects folder.

I am having a similar issue. When I upgraded first to 8.08 and then to 9.01 it took my data from 8.08 into 9.01 with no update. It now cannot find the file to do a backup. It is still saved to the version 7 project folder. How do I correct this.?

Thank you.

I would use Windows Explorer to copy your project from the v7 projects folder to the v9 projects folder.

 

In v9, use File / Open to open the project for the first time.

 

And, once you open the project in v9, open the Preferences / Advanced tab and make sure that all of the paths are set to the v9 paths.

I had a similar problem. One project transferred correctly. The other did not. I've got it figured out on my own, but it was a hassle I wouldn't care to repeat.

Yes, the above did not work for me either. I think I now have it in the version 9 project folder but when I go to back it up it gives me an error message saying that it is an invalid path. If you hit ignore 2 times it will back it up. From what I can tell all my data for this project is there. The other 3 projects went over just fine.

In Step 2 of the Backup Wizard (Select backup file), do you have the backup path set correctly for the v9 backups location?

In Preferences / Current Project Options / Advanced, do you have the backup path set correctly for that project for the v9 backups location? Check that all those paths are set to the v9 paths.
