Upgraded PC - installed Win 7 on another HD, still have old HD.
Question 1) Is there an easy way to locate old filters on old HD? - need path.
Question 2) How do you import from the CD? There are over 6K files. Hell, Windows explorer has a hard time even opening the folder (and I have 8GB RAM).

The path is probably something like this:

<old drive letter>:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Filter Forge\My Filters

You mentioned that you upgraded. In that case the filters will be at the same place but in a windows.old folder on the root of your system drive.

I guess it's fine to just copy them to your v2 folder. That is located something like this:

<system>:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Filter Forge 2\My Filters

Can't help with #2 because I don't know what you mean by the cd.

Good luck.

if you upgraded from win xp then everything ron said is right, but if you upgraded from vista to win7 then you'd look in the appdata folder.

the cd is the one you got from FF, inc. i'm guessing and so all you shld have to do is copy and paste the filters into your new 'my filters' folder as stated by ron.

Oh I see, it didn’t occur to me that ff exists as a physical thing. smile:blush: So ff sends out a disk with six thousand filters on it? That should come as not surprise. I am probably the only one that deletes the local copies and relies on the site.

hi ron,

i'd give you a link, but cant find one now. odd that FF, inc. hides these things smile:) . it used to be $14.95 and yes, over 6000 filters but dont know if that's on just one cd or not.

Thanks Craig - that sounds like money well spent if someone was going to be on the road or otherwise offline.

i agree. and even if you've just got a new machine and want to get all your filters back on the new machine you're going to save some time doing a transfer from cd over downloading from the server.
