Filter category transfer EL5 to EL5.12

Filter category transfer EL5 to EL5.12

Postby Falcon » Fri Apr 25, 2025 1:13 pm

Hi Stan,

In version EL5 i have developed over the years many complex filters and have them listed/displayed within their various filter Categories that one sees on the right of screen.
How does one copy these Categories and their contents into version 5.12? Or does one have to rebuild by hand the entire Category set again?

Or upon initial installation should I have copied/exported the lottery from El5 into EL5.12? Does this export function send across all the filters?

thanks

Well, some settings are lottery-specific and as such are stored in ".settings" in the lottery folder. So when copying the lottery folder to a another computer it will automatically pick these settings up.
Application-wide settings are stored in 'userdir' folder. The location of that folder is different for each operating system and for each user. Click menu 'View - Application Log' and search for "User Directory". In my case the value is "/Users/stan/Library/Application Support/expertlotto/release5" because I have a Mac computer. In that folder you will find "Config/Preferences" - if you transfer or copy that folder to another Expert Lotto user dir it will pick all your application-wide settings. (Do make a backup copy of all those folders before experimenting with them!)
