yWriter5 to yWriter6

[Clover Zero]

I'm sorry if this question has been asked before, I searched but I found none. If there is, I must've missed it.

I've been using ywriter for almost 3 years. I love it. However, now ywriter5 isn't updated anymore, I want to change to ywriter6 (I'm using Windows 7, don't worry).

How do I move the files to ywriter6 safely? Thank you.

Yw5 projects load and save from ywriter6 just fine. No importing, no converting.

When you install ywriter6 it goes into a new folder and uses its own settings. If you want to keep all your ywriter5 settings, look for the Spacejock Software\yWriter5 folder inside %AppData% (just enter that in Windows Explorer's path field to open the hidden Windows folder.)

Then copy ywriter5.ini from the yWriter5 folder to the yWriter6 folder, and rename it yWriter6.ini

However, if you double-click a YW5 file it may still open in ywriter5. Just be sure to tick 'associate .yw5 files' when installing yWriter6.

Cheers
Simon
