Hi.

I'll need to format my system since I will be installing windows 7. I was wondering what sort of files I need to backup so that photoindex will keep my photos' tags and other preferences when I reinstall it. I intend to copy my photo archive to the same destination folder as it was before.

Hi Mat,

If you have used the defaults, then you need to backup the following directories:

C:\Documents and Settings\_USER_\Local Settings\Application Data\MyPhotoIndex\Data - Holds the default index file(MyPhotoIndex.mdb - this is the most important file)

C:\Documents and Settings\_USER_\Local Settings\Application Data\MyPhotoIndex\Cache - Holds cached thumbnail files(*.icf extensions).

if you want you can backup the settings file (holds some size and preferences) :

C:\Documents and Settings\_USER_\Local Settings\Application Data\MyPhotoIndex\userSettings.config

These are the primary files.

Regards,

Asaf
