AsOne Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 How would I get my Favorite tool menu (accessed with the space bar) from v7 to v8.5? I tried saving it and opening it in v8.5, but didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Sorry, I believe you will need to redo your Favorites between v7 and 8.5... Hopefully they will be forward compatible going forward (from v8.0 onward). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tech Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Hi Paul & Rob, Actually you can Save the Favorites from the Workspace Menu: Tool Manager, just click the Save / Disk icon from the lower left. Then load that onto another computer as you like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsOne Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 I tried that and it did not seem to work. Where should I place the file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Save the .FIM file anywhere you like, copy it to the other computer, and use the "Open / Folder" icon to load it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsOne Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 I opened v7. Opened Tool Manager. Saved file: "Save Favorites Menu.fim" Opened v8.5. Opened Tool Manager. Clicked the open folder icon. choose the .fim file.... nothing happens. no change in the favorites menu. Mac OS 10.9.5 ? I should note that it isn't too big a deal to rebuild and I already have on my work cpu, but copying the old one over isn't working for me.

rob Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Maybe an issue with the older save? Save from your work 8.5 and open on your other? That worked in a test I just tried in our school lab... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Hi Paul, Sorry, there was an issue on some computers exporting from v7 to 8, but from v8 forward, this has been solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
