Upgrading NYC With A Moved User Folder
Some users like to keep all their data
under My Documents so they can easily select this folder when backing up their
computer. So at some time after
installation of NYC they use NYC’s Tools… Options… User
Folder… feature to move the contents of their
NYC user folder to a folder under My Documents (or wherever).
Later, you install a new version and wish
to upgrade your user files using File… Upgrade…
from the new version, only to find that you now have them in the \user folder
under the new NYC folder.
We suggest these steps:
- Run the new version and use File… Upgrade…
to bring over/upgrade user files (including cookbooks and reg info) from your previous version.
- Rename the user folder you had under My Documents so it
does not get overwritten (this will provide an extra backup copy of your
user files, which you can delete if you desire).
- Use NYC’s Tools… Options… User
Folder… feature to move the user folder to a folder under My
Documents named liked you had it before.
Use a short user folder name under My Documents because menus only work if your path+cookbookname+recipename is less than 100 characters.
