How can I migrate labels from one installation to another?

Post by frogsy »

I'd like to wipe my laptop and install a from-scratch copy of Windows 10 on it next month when it comes out. Is there a way I can back up the labels database from an XYplorer install and easily link it up to a new installation?

Address bar of xy:
goto "<xydata>";

Hit "Enter";

Copy the tag.dat file from that directory to a backup folder. Do it the reverse way after you've installed XY on Win 10.

Restart XY thereafter or use "Favorites - Reload Tags Database" from the menu.
