Preferences and settings not copied to beta version

[Killservice]

Hallo Marko,

in info to 13 beta you write:

When first starting PL/SQL Developer 13.0, preferences and settings will be copied over from the previous release if present.

On my PC none of Preferences or setting was copied to new Version :-(
How can I copymy self this, and plese check if you can repair this.

I use: win 7 (2x monitor), plsd 12.07 x32bit and installed 13b1 x32bit
If you need more Info to my enviroment, please say what you need.

In version 12.0, can you go to Help > Support Info and send me the text from the "Info" tab page?

Update:
I use in params.ini in 12.0 a custom prefpath=
can this be a problem?

In that case you need to explicitly copy:

H:\PRG\PLSQL Developer\userdata_12

To (for example):

H:\PRG\PLSQL Developer\userdata_13

And use this preference path in version 13.

ok, thx for your Reply, can you give any Hint an first start or installation, if custom pref_path is set?

 

[Marco Kalter]

We'll try to enhance this.
