Title: Map Locations
Post by: Ceiriog on June 16, 2021, 04:10:22 PM
I recently had to reinstall iMatch on a new PC as my old one died. After installing, I used Pack and Go to restore my latest backup which was stored on OneDrive.  Everything seems to have recovered with the exception of the location names I have created in the past to add add locations to my photos from the Map Panel.  Is there any way to recover these? Are they stored in a seperate file?

I have an old laptop that used to have iMatch, so any files that have the location names may be stored there.

Locations are database-specific and stored in the database. On a per-user basis.
Do you use the same user name on the new PC?

Thanks Mario, the User Name alias resolved the problem.
