Missing something I'm sure - just did a test conversion of my data and everything went over fine....
Is there a file I'm forgetting about that has the extra sensor names? I thought that was updated on a cumulus file
thanks.

Re: CMX 4 migration - extra sensor names?
I had forgotten to change the names of my extra temp sensors. Just found it is held in strings.ini so check your old and new files to see if the data was there in the old one. Edited in Locale settings.

Re: CMX 4 migration - extra sensor names?
I've just updated it in locale - thanks for that
I guess maybe the strings are regenerated and previous information disregarded? Not a major thing, but just trying to document anything that's needed. From memory I think there was a change from one format to another with strings, so maybe it only impacts people with these historic changes.
cheers,
Ian.

Re: CMX 4 migration - extra sensor names?
Just checked my v3 \datav3 folder and the v4 \data after migration from v3. Only the monthly log files have a changed name from month-year to year-mo. No change in my CustomLog nor ExtraLog file names. And everything has been working.From memory I think there was a change from one format to another with strings, so maybe it only impacts people with these historic changes.
The v3 renamed \datav3 has a strings file, but that strings file is not in the migrated v4 \data. Did I mis something?
Enjoy,
Paul

Re: CMX 4 migration - extra sensor names?
Strings.ini lives in the root folder along with Cumulus.ini.
The V3 file should work with v4.

Re: CMX 4 migration - extra sensor names?
Yes it is in the root of my v3 and also copied over for v4, so I must have copied it in the v3 \data folder at some point in the past.
All is good.
Enjoy,
Paul

I have added the copy of strings.ini to the migration instructions.
