Post by: HaraldJ on October 17, 2018, 12:32:23 PM
Hello,

I'm still running Imatch 3.6, which works finde for me. Now I installeld the program on my laptop, but of course the thesaurus is empty. How can I copy it from my desktop computer to the laptop?

Thank you,
Harald

Please note that no official support is available anymore for IMatch3.
I don't recommend using it anymore. It contains security-critical parts and 3rd party compnents which haven't been updated in ages.

IMatch 2018 can import IMatch 3 Thesauri. You may find information about the file name used by that legacy version hereImporting IMatch 3 Thesauri (https://www.photools.com/help/imatch/#thes_basics.htm?dl=h-31)

I am still using imatch 3.6  too for my old base.  Have to say I am still loving it . Nevr gave me  a single puzzle to solve.       Does it make  a seriouce security risc for my system?   Can I simply disconnect my network while using it or it's very existence on my pc is a risk itself now?

IMatch 3 uses 3rd party components and Microsoft runtime systems which are several years out of date. Everything has been upgraded and enhanced over the years many times.

IMatch 3 does not connect to the Internet itself (except you use the check for update function, which no longer works because the old server is off-line for years). But malicious software on your system may utilize unalterabilities in the old components and DLLs shipped with IMatch to do malicious things. I have no control over 3rd party components or Microsoft runtime shipped at the time IMatch 3 was current.
