[edit+] Transferring Projects to same files on new server

[[e-mail] [editplus]]

Hi there. We currently use EditPlus on one server, and we have a great set of Project directories to break down all the applicable files we need for each project. All the files are located in different folders from teh root directory on our network drive, which I'll call Q. (For example: Q\Dogs_and_Cats\Focus_Files\Dog.fex)


We are implementing a new replacement server, which I'll call R. I'd like to copy the project file settings to the new server, but have it access the same files from R rather than Q. (For example: R\Dogs_and_Cats\Focus_Files\Dog.fex).


Is there a way to change this root directory, or do i ahve to reconstruct my 100 or so projects?


Thanks for your help.

For those who might have thisi issue, i figured it out! :)

Go to Tools/Set Directories, and export your directories to a folder on your desktop
Install a new version of Edit Plus with a different directory name on your PC, so you now have 2 versions.
Go into your Exported files folder, and edit the file "project_u.ini" after making a backup.
Change all references to your old server to your new server, save.
Close EditPlus, restart, and you should be all set!


Enjoy!

Hello,

I commonly make things like that.

You can just copy the %AppData%\Editplus\project_u.ini project file from one server to another and make search and replace inside it (eventually using Editplus itself) for doing any path changes inside it that you need.

Keeping a backup of the old file maybe useful, of course.

Avoid manually removing or adding lines inside it unless you want to deal about adjusting line counts for each project...
