Backup import function

I had aan idea:

why not adding a function in PT2008 to import the backups from a former version automatically?

In my case, PT2007 is installed in a different directory that PT2008, so being able to import the backups from PT2007 in PT2008 would be a good idea. Or is there a simple way to import the backups without running the risk to damage PT2008?

Thank you.

Thank you Jan!

I copied the Backup-directory from PT 2007 into the PT 2008 directory and started PT 2008 again.

I seems to be working properly (no error message when opening the backup section, which immediately reads the backup list and displays it).

Thanks again.

Jan,

actually I did use the installer, but I went quite fast through it... but I can't remember it offered me any choice/option about importing backup from former versions.

My PT 2007 version had its own directory and I decided not to overwriting it, so I installed PT 2008 in its default directory "jv16 PowerTools 2008". When I started PT 2008, I discovered the backup section was empty. So it did nothing automatically on that part. Or did I mis something?

I don't understand: I just installed the very last version yesterday evening (1.8.0.444, on marth 3rd). It has only one installer version, hasn't it?
