How to import Far2 configuration into Far3
How to import Far2 configuration into Far3
I'd like to try the new, coming Far3, but Far3 uses local files to store its settings (and not the Registry). How can I export my settings in Far2 to be able to import it in Far3?

%FARHOME%\SaveSettings.cmd exports the settings to a .REG file.
This set of Perl scripts imports FAR 2 settings into FAR 3 either from a .REG file or directly from the registry.
(the same scripts as EXE's).

I have tried 2x3_converterC and it seems to transfer most of old settings successfully, but the import was not perfect.
Transparency flags of Files highlighting and sort groups were not imported, No panel modes were imported.
Associations, color scheme look like imported fully.
Environment variables were removed from folder shortcuts.

Check for newer versions: http://forum.farmanager.com/viewtopic.p ... =75#p87749
Re: How to import Far2 configuration into Far3
Tried the latest version and file panel modes still seem reset to default. I have customized some panel modes already then used the importer (import all).
Don't know why but all panel modes were reset to default layout after conversion.

how to transfer the main configuration, e.g. all the options etc?
Re: How to import Far2 configuration into Far3
There is no way to do that. And I do not think it will be done.
Too many options in different areas, some of them changed incompatibly, others easily can be altered in configuration dialogs. Most of default values were not changed.

Re: How to import Far2 configuration into Far3
You need open menu in editor and save it as file FarMenu.ini in Far3 profile folder.
Use 1200 code page.
Update
It will be simpler to open Far3 menu in editor too (F2 AltF4).

Thanks!
I have transfered almost everything, except macros. I exported them to xml using 2x3.pl, but Far3 doesnt import it for some reason..

Re: How to import Far2 configuration into Far3
There is really important reason: macro system of Far 3 is rewritten.
Now macros use Lua language (see samples in Addons\Macros).
To install any of the provided .lua files just copy them to %FARPROFILE%\Macros\scripts directory (or any of its subdirectories).

Re: How to import Far2 configuration into Far3
ok, I somehow managed to transfer my macros
first of all, I converted them to XML using 2x3.pl.
Then, I converted them to a different style of XML using macro2lua_e.dll plugin
Finally, I've edited the db2file.lua script to read from this file, and output a lua file.
They seem to (mostly) work!
