move your settings to new version

Hi @arifg,

The App Preferences and Shortcuts are not included as a part of the content migration process, if you wanted to use the same preferences that you used in V1 you would need to manually replicate the preferences used in V1 and then set the same preferences in V2.

As for shortcuts, you can export your V1 shortcuts to an .afshort file (Via Preferences > Shortcuts > Save) which can be imported into V2 file in the shortcut preferences by pressing 'Load' and then loading the V1 file, however due to some of the menus being changed between versions and new features being added you may find some shortcuts are missing.

how can I use my settings/preferences (like use scroll for zooming) to new versions?

Do you mean V1 to V2, or something else like 2.1 to 2.2 Beta?

....I mean from 2 to 2.x beta versions, or future versions. Because I can't see an option for this.

But note that there isn't a way to migrate from, for example, 2.2 Beta to 2.2 Release version when it becomes available.

thanks a lot, that's what I need! Will this feature come to normal releases? (not beta)
