I have exported the config file from 2.53 beta 2 to the directory where the 2.53 release candidate but when I run it it say it can't import the file (see attached). What am I doing wrong?

The problem is basically what it says.
Your exported 2.53b2 registry file
points to 2.53b2 entries, so something (similar I suppose) to this:
Code: Select all
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Altap\Altap Salamander 2.53 beta 2] ...
Now you're looking to
import that configuration into 2.53 - & expecting the import to make changes to the tree naming (from 2.53b2 <or similar> to 2.53). So:
Code: Select all
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Altap\Altap Salamander 2.53] ...
But
that import does not do that.
Though when you first install 2.53, on startup, it has the option to
Import old configuration. It is at that point where it will both import & also revise the entries to accommodate the version change. So:
Code: Select all
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Altap\Altap Salamander 2.53 beta 2] ...
becomes
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Altap\Altap Salamander 2.53] ...
Or you could manually edit the exported .reg file, adjusting it so that instead of showing 2.53 beta 2, it shows 2.53.
