How can i LOAD an .nbi file

Postby burp » Sat May 19, 2012 11:49 am

Hi
I just installed 6.32 over a 5.? and am trying to load an old .nbi-file to get a different groups-list
It seems i can "save" and "save as" an nbi-file but not "load" ("file"-dropdown menue)...
what am i doing wrong?- thanks-Burp

Put the nbi file where you want it to live, then double click it. That will open the last version of Newsbin you've installed with those settings. It auto-saves to that file after that(good reason to backup a copy first).

You can also pass it in the command line, say you still want to use multiple NBI's.
