Re: [amibroker] Transferring configuration of floating panes to laptop?, AmiBroker Email List Archive

This same thing happened to me when I was creating a new virtual machine to debug a virtualization issue. I followed these same steps. I finally abandoned that approach and copied my virtual machine over to the new hardware to get an exact copy. It was not that hard to put the window arrangement back the way I wanted it, so I speculated that I could have just copied some of the keys that were not part of that arrangement. However, I did not try it. It seems like the labels are dynamically allocated depending on the order of the tabs or something like that which keeps them from matching up when copied over directly.

Jerry --
Thank you for your response. I had already done steps 1 and 2. So then tried step 3.

It sorta worked. However, now I have:
a. Equity Information in the Alert toolbar,
b. <enter your notes here> in the Interpretation toolbar,
c. Interpretation comments in the Information toolbar.

And, I forgot to backup the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TJP\ section.

Just looked up the messages in 4/17/08 - 4/19/08 and took TJ's advise. Deleted:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TJP\Broker\DockingPaneLayouts\

That brought back the 'default' layout, which is my favorite one anyway. So now, all is well with the world (at least my AB part).

BTW, that was nice of you to give the dates. I save all AB forum postings in Thunderbird. Found them in just a few seconds.

And again, thank you.

Hello,

1. Run the install on target machine (this is required only for registering
OLE servers) 2. Then copy entire AB folder with all subfolders.
3. If you want to keep also your customized toolbars, you need to export the
following registry key with all subkeys, using RegEdit:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TJP

and import it on target machine (just double click on .reg file that was
exported)

Subject: [amibroker] Transferring configuration of floating panes to laptop?

I just copied all of "Program files\Amibroker\" from my main computer to
my laptop, in order to bring my laptop "in sync" with my main
computer". However the arrangements of the Symbols, Layouts, Layers,
Charts, Information, Notepad, etc. panes did not transfer.

Is there any way transfer their configuration?

I do not want to configure them manually -- it takes me FOREVER.

Once they are configured, I would love to LOCK them in place so I
couldn't move them accidentally!!!

TIA
