Dear all,
First of all, thanks to all of you for your posts on
the list or your direct messages. It really helped,
solving #2. Now, I am fine with all my experts and
indicators running on 7.02. Just had some conversion
problems as Vitaly mention in this post of the 21st of
August.
As far as #1, it still doesn't work. In fact I would
expect it to work as described by TraderJoe in his
message below. But, here is what happens.
My default path is: c:\1.D\GT\Fin\SE\MS 7.02\Data
Within this directory, you will find:
\NewYork\Stocks
\NewYork\Index
\Paris\Market1
\Paris\Market2
\Paris\Market3
\Paris\Market4
Of course, if I put all my stocks in
c:\1.D\GT\Fin\SE\MS 7.02\Data, no problem. I setup
this path as destination folder with 'Traverse
Destination Folders' selected. New securities are
created in self-created folders, and when I copy them
to the default path, the next concersion runs ok.
But if I copy them in a sub directory of
c:\1.D\GT\Fin\SE\MS 7.02\Data (e.g. \Paris\Market1)
and keep c:\1.D\GT\Fin\SE\MS 7.02\Data as destination
folder with 'Traverse Destination Folders' selected,
the conversion results in the creation of new
securities. It doesn't subsequently write to the new
location, either because of a misfunction of 'Traverse
Destination Folders' or a misfunction of the copy, not
keeping track of the existence of the security and its
directory.
By the way, I am running MS 7.02 on Windows2000 Pro.
Greg.

Greg,
As I understand it, if the securities already exist in
subfolders of Stocks, set Stocks as the destination
folder and select the option to traverse destination
folders and The DownLoader will write the data to the
appropriate subfolder. If it is a new security, it
will create a subfolder named the same as the first
letter of the new security.
After copying new securities to the desired subfolder,
it should subsequently write to the new location.
To import/convert formulas to the newer version:
Open the Indicator Builder
Select the Organizer button
Select Import Formula files
Browse to the drive/folder where the files are stored
Click OK
Click Finish
This will convert the formulas to version 7.02 and
import them into the existing list.
