[v6 General Discussion] Songs not converted at new installation
3 CommentsSorted by Oldest First
First open EasyWorship 2009 and verify that you only have one profile or verify which profile you are using.
Clicking the profile menu will help with this.
You may need to open EasyWorship 6 and change the profile.
If that is not the case, you can force a conversion by renaming the v6.1 folder in the profile folder.
First close EasyWorship.
Then rename the v6.1 folder.
Usually this will be located in c:\users\public\public documents\softouch\easyworship\ profile folder name

Thanks for your reply Rodger.
We are using the Default profile in EW2009 so I selected this in EW6.
I will try renaming the v6.1 folder at the next opportunity.

Rodger - renaming the V6.1 folder worked. Thanks for your help. There was a prompt to copy settings from a previous installation which I accepted.
For the benefit of other new users, songs and scriptures added to a new schedule were white text on a black background, so the default background image setting had not been transferred. Also it took a while to generate the thumbnails for themes, so finding the previous default background image was tricky. I made do with an alternative until I find the original. Settings for songs with a custom background were retained.
I'll open a new thread on scripture autoflow.

I can run EW2009 on the church computer and everything is as it was, including Songs.
I tried running the EW2009 database recovery, and then running EW6 to see if that would kick the conversion into life without effect.
As I am able to continue with EW2009 there is no panic for this weekend, but how to continue with EW6?
