Imatch transfer to virgin computer W10: Categories Tabs not transfered

[ubacher]

I set up my laptop with Win 10 from scratch.
I installed Imatch, I copied the old .pts file and recovered from a Pack@Go package.
All ended up as before except that the custom tabs on the category (assignment) panel are missing.
Could it be that that setting is not stored by P&G?

That's a setting that is stored on a per-user / per-machine basis. This is why it comes up with default settings if your new computer has a different name,

On a relatively recent release Mario allowed us to override the stored per-user/per-machine setup.
If you go into Preferences | application > User Name Alias and use same username as on your previous machine all .pts file parameters should be setup as in previous account.

The settings in question are per-machine (depending on the computer name), so using the Alias to force a different user name will not help in this case. IMatch stores settings which depend on computer-specific metrics like screen size, resolution, DPI, color depth, chipset, Windows version etc. on a per-computer basis.

I restored on the same machine and the same OS ( Win 10.)  Where are these machine dependent settings stored?

PS: the settings for the viewer panel layouts aren't stored either.

[Mario]

All IMatch settings are stored in the IMatch settings database IMatch5.pts.
If you have changed the computer name, the machine-dependent settings are no longer accessible.
