What files need to be moved so I can use the same configurations I've set up on my mobile PC as my primary PC?

Thanks

  Hi Wayne, 

  Copy the Sky Data folder.  That's it.

  Hi Keiron! I did copy  over all of the Sky Data folder to the new machine (a Primaluce Eagle2 actually sitting on my scope), but the screen options - like font, what objects are shown and labeled etc, did NOT come over. Are those setting somewhere else?

   

  Thanks, Wayne

  PS love the program, anxious to try it hooked up to my AP mount

  Hi Wayne, 

  1. If you go to Options >>> Save current options as default <<< this should all be saved in the Sky Data folder.
  2. Alternatively, you can save any state of the program as a SNF file.  Go to File >>> Save >>> Save as.  Copy the SNF file to your new computer and everything should be included.

  But, I think #1 should really be working for you.

  Thanks again! #1 didn't do it, but # 2 got MOST of it. Font colors and weights on labels didn't show up. I can set them manually, so evidently not a hardware limitation.
