Migrating on new PC - Settings are not kept

Post by Moonlight »

I tried to install Atlantis on a second PC, as described here:
https://www.atlantiswordprocessor.com/e ... rating.htm
and here:
https://www.atlantiswordprocessor.com/e ... drives.htm

In general it seems to have worked but at least certain settings (I did not compare all) are obviously not kept. I refer to the complete user interface of Atlantis which on the second computer seems to be the one of the factory settings concerning e.g. colors, look of the toolbar, elements in the toolbar etc. and definitely not the settings of my first PC.

I have also tried to copy manually the Atlantis.ini from the USB drive to the new PC but it did not help too.

When starting Atlantis directly from the awp.exe on the USB drive all is o.k. concerning the settings / appearance of the user interface.

So could it be that the settings for the user interface are not stored in the Atlantis.ini? Or could it be a problem that the old computer is Windows 10 whereas the new one is Windows 11?

Finally it seems to have worked but only after some additional attempts. I assume that the procedure that helped was to drag the Atlantis.ini from the USB drive to the new computer (into the usual folder for this file: "My documents\Atlantis").

If this is in general a necessary step perhaps it could be added in the Help?

Atlantis fails to copy the .ini file from the removable drive indeed. This will be fixed soon. Thank you.
