upgrading from vs 11+ to X2 - migrating libraries

Ilene · Post by **Ilene** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 1:53 am

Just wondering if all libraries in VS11+ will remain in tact ( images, audio and video) after installing X2. I had read that when installing patches for VS11+ to VS11.5 that the libraries dissappeared. Last time I upgraded from 10 to 11+ I think I added all my libraries to a vs10 project file and then opened those project files in 11+ and copied and pasted all the files into new libraries in VS11+. Seemed pretty stupid and laborious...just didn't want to risk losing all the libs I had set up for myself. I have some video clips, audio effects, and image files that I like to reuse and I keep them organized in VS.... it's too bad they don't automatically copy over to the newer versions.
ANy advice or suggestions would be appreciated on this.
thanks.

thanks for the advice...that's what I figured I needed to do. I was just concerned that the install might overwrite any files from prior versions...but I see it's in a Corel Directory rather than a Ulead directory now so I guess it's not possible for that to happen.

I was also thinking, it's just as easy to copy all the original dat files into a folder named X2 orig dat files....this way they are always there and then just replace the X2 dat files with the 11+ dat files - rather than renaming everything.

Yes - I agree the new title library is much better!

thanks.
