Member RPSchmidt Posted January 15, 2022 Member Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 I always want to have the newest version of 3d Coat installed and ready for work; but every single time I install, I have to reload all of my brushes and materials over and over again for every upgrade, even just point version upgrades. Why can't 3d Coat upgrade in place? Other users have told me to just install to the folder 3d Coat was already installed to, but that doesn't work. Why doesn't 3d Coat know that it is updating rather than doing a full install, like other software? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 Hello, this issue was solved on last versions. Could you try this steps please. - Completely new folders structure. Really streamlined and logical as it was proposed. Almost all now is split between two folders - data and UserPrefs. As it is logical, UserPrefs is user-created content. Data is sort of temporary stuff. The folder in documents changed, now it is Docs/3DCoat-2021/. Even if the folders structure is changed it is compatible with the previous one. - As soon as 3DCoat detects some files copied to the new location in Documents from the old one, it will convert the files to the new structure. Also, if you will install 3dcpack it will be installed correctly (except presets that use old tools that are not present in the toolset). So, to migrate from earlier version you may copy folders from old versions to Docs/3DCoat-2021 or create 3dcpack in old version and install using latest. Hope it help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
