Copy old list entries into List Management

[RalphM]

Maybe I missed it.
Is there a way to move the "old" entries of lists that were created before the launch of List Management to the new LM lists?
e.g. the entries of "move/copy/backup to".
I could find the "new" LM entries in the config file, but not the "old" ones - strange.

Thanks for your help.

"old" entries? If they exist in the INI they should appear in the app & LM, if not then not. LM is just an interface to manage those data. It did not add anything new to the data structure itself.
I guess I did not get what you mean.

e.g. "Move to" destinations are added to the list whenever you use a new path & I have about 10 entries in that list, but if I open it in LM the list's empty. If I add a new path in LM and open the menu again, there are the initial 10 entries, a separator line and then the new entry....

Hope this helps to explain it.

Yes, but I cannot reproduce it. Can anybody else?

Hi;

I think I know what RalphM is talking about. If you look at, Move or Copy or BackupTo lists, you will see that they look like two lists separated by a dividing line. What is shown in the list management is only the entries from the lower part of that list.

Edit: when you right click on a file or folder and select Move/Copy/BackupTo that is.

The upper part is identical to the Favorite Folders list.

Ya, I forgot to put that part in my last message. So to edit the top part, you go to the List Management for Fav Folders.

So my guess was right - I missed it.
Once you know it, it sure makes sense, but it might be a bit confusing for newbies and there's no hint to be found in the help either!

Thx anyway

Wasn't it you who suggested having the favorites here??

Yep, busted.
But to my excuse, it was some 8 months ago and so much changed since then.
Well maybe it would be a nice addition to name the favorites there somehow. Either put them in a submenu or add a descriptive line above them?

Submenu would also make its height smaller: good. But many menu levels...: bad. Undecided...
