Hi,
I have a registerd version Salamander 2.52 in one folder and I have Salamander 2.53 (beta 1) in another folder.
When I installed 2.53 I was asked if I wanted to use the configurations from 2.52. I said yes and it copied my set-up across.
I have since made an extensive "user menu" on 2.53.
Can I copy the configutation from 2.53 to 2.52? If so how?
Thanks - Tony

Re: Duplicating Configuration
Hi Tony, backup your registry key (using Altap Salamander Registry plugin)
reg:\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Altap\Altap Salamander 2.52\User Menu
and overwrite it with
reg:\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Altap\Altap Salamander 2.53 beta 1\User Menu
Do it with AS 2.53 beta 1 so 2.52 configuration is not overwritten on AS exit.
reg:\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Altap\Altap Salamander 2.52\User Menu
and overwrite it with
reg:\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Altap\Altap Salamander 2.53 beta 1\User Menu
Do it with AS 2.53 beta 1 so 2.52 configuration is not overwritten on AS exit.

Hi Jan,
Can you guide me through the procedure to overwrite;
reg:\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Altap\Altap Salamander 2.52\User Menu
with
reg:\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Altap\Altap Salamander 2.53 beta 1\User Menu
using AS 2.53 as I haven't done this kind of thing before

- Make sure no instances of AS are running and start AS 2.53b1.
- Copy this path into the clipboard: reg:\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Altap\Altap Salamander 2.52\User Menu
- Go to the left panel in AS and press Ctrl+V. The left panel should now show some folders named 1, 2, 3 and so on.
- Copy the other path into the clipboard: reg:\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Altap\Altap Salamander 2.53 beta 1\User Menu
- Go to the right panel in AS and press Ctrl+V. The right panel should now again show folders with similar names, but there should be more of them than in the left panel.
- Select all folders in the LEFT panel and delete them (don't try to delete (Default), it can't be done).
- Select all folders in the RIGHT panel and copy them to the LEFT panel.
- Close AS, start a new instance of AS 2.52.
- Enjoy.

Re: Duplicating Configuration
Drag and drop between sections of the registry using Salamander???
Wow. Silly me, I had no idea. Very cool!

Re: Duplicating Configuration
1 - Export the ALtap registry you want to duplicate by selecting Options | Export Configuration
2 - Using a good text editor like Notepad2, edit the configuration registry file you just exported from Altap Salamander.
Replace - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Altap\Altap Salamander 2.52\
With - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Altap\Altap Salamander 2.53 beta 1\
3 - Save the file and double click on the reg file. You should now have another registry entry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Altap\Altap Salamander 2.53 beta 1\
