Thanks! ]]> RE: Restoring settings https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/restoring-settings/?ID=9a7eaac6-6c7a-4943-b518-5d9395bba35b#8 Tue, 02 Oct 2018 18:44:44 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/restoring-settings/?ID=9a7eaac6-6c7a-4943-b518-5d9395bba35b#8 ClipboardFusion Definitely! It's already on our list, thanks for confirming that the workaround did the trick :) ]]> RE: Restoring settings https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/restoring-settings/?ID=9a7eaac6-6c7a-4943-b518-5d9395bba35b#7 Tue, 02 Oct 2018 17:43:20 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/restoring-settings/?ID=9a7eaac6-6c7a-4943-b518-5d9395bba35b#7 ClipboardFusion That worked great! Thanks for your help.

Just curious if this is considered a bug and will be fixed in future releases? ]]> RE: Restoring settings https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/restoring-settings/?ID=9a7eaac6-6c7a-4943-b518-5d9395bba35b#6 Tue, 02 Oct 2018 17:11:20 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/restoring-settings/?ID=9a7eaac6-6c7a-4943-b518-5d9395bba35b#6 ClipboardFusion Ok, it looks like for some reason the restore process doesn't work for the hotkeys. Can you try this instead?

  • Exit ClipboardFusion
  • Double-click the .reg backup file
  • Choose Yes to import the file
  • Launch ClipboardFusion

It looks like maybe some of the settings restored as I noticed the "Options > Start with Windows" became checked. I am missing my Hotkey settings though, so I'm in an indeterminate state right now. ]]> RE: Restoring settings https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/restoring-settings/?ID=9a7eaac6-6c7a-4943-b518-5d9395bba35b#4 Thu, 27 Sep 2018 18:55:08 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/restoring-settings/?ID=9a7eaac6-6c7a-4943-b518-5d9395bba35b#4 ClipboardFusion I've just tested by removing the entire database location line from the backup and it restored without errors. Did you still get an error with that line removed? Or are some settings just not restored? ]]> RE: Restoring settings https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/restoring-settings/?ID=9a7eaac6-6c7a-4943-b518-5d9395bba35b#3 Thu, 27 Sep 2018 18:23:14 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/restoring-settings/?ID=9a7eaac6-6c7a-4943-b518-5d9395bba35b#3 ClipboardFusion I removed the line, tried to restore, and it failed in the same manner. I then put the line back, confirmed that the path indicated by DatabaseLocation exists and tried again: same result. ]]> RE: Restoring settings https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/restoring-settings/?ID=9a7eaac6-6c7a-4943-b518-5d9395bba35b#2 Thu, 27 Sep 2018 16:35:16 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/restoring-settings/?ID=9a7eaac6-6c7a-4943-b518-5d9395bba35b#2 ClipboardFusion It's looking for the database in C:\Users\fettersa\AppData\Local\ClipboardFusion. If that path doesn't exist any more, that would cause the error to be shown.

If you edit the path in line 67 of the .reg file (use Notepad), or just delete that whole line, it should restore correctly. ]]> Restoring settings https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/restoring-settings/?ID=9a7eaac6-6c7a-4943-b518-5d9395bba35b Thu, 27 Sep 2018 16:13:44 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/restoring-settings/?ID=9a7eaac6-6c7a-4943-b518-5d9395bba35b ClipboardFusion I am migrating between PCs and trying to pull my settings over. I exported my CF settings on PC A and tried restoring them on PC B. I get an error message:

Your settings have been successfully restored.


It looks like a similar error was reported here: https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/get-error-every-time-cf-is-run/?ID=d53a23d1-2137-4e06-8c88-67a07463baae

It looks like it should have been resolved, but I'm not sure. I'm running 5.4.1. I've attached the settings I'd like to restore. ]]>
