How to migrate the byte count from v6.42 to v6.50?

Postby nitz » Fri Dec 13, 2013 1:23 am

In upgrading from v6.42 to v6.50, my total byte count was zeroed out. Byte count used to be stored in a registry setting at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DJI Interprises\Newsbin50\Settings. Where is it kept under v6.50?

In 6.50 it's stored in the GuiItems.db3. If you use some of the Sqlite tools out there, the field is "BytesHigh". Just set it to whatever number you want.

Afraid I'm not versed in Sqlite tools. Can you recommend one? (The simpler, the better, please.) Thanks.

I normally use Sqliteman on Windows.

Thanks.

Not to complain over something so seemingly minor, but shouldn't the upgrade procedure handle this for us?

I know, now, that it's important to you but, didn't know when I changed it.

It seemed like a good change to make for something that was just cosmetic.

Granted, it's not really [i]that[/i] important. It's just that I've been tracking it since I started with Newsbin (12 years ago!) and it's become a habit.
