Transfering personal settings to a new computer

Post by Ilikemyprivacy »

I am transferring everything of mine from one computer to another. Xnview knows where my pictures are on my new computer but the ratings didn't transfer over. This is a list of everything I transferred over to my new computer...

1. My pictures (which is fine)

2. Everything in c:\Users\(myuserid)\Appdata\Roaming\XnViewMP which includes these files

autocorrect.txt
default.bar
default.keys
iptc.ini
search.ini
Thumb.db
Xmp.ini
XnView.db
xnview.ini
XnView-2026_04_30_10_38_28.db

What am I missing to get everything like my old computer? Is it because my username is different on my new computer and how do I fix that?

They are in the same folder, on the same external hard drive, that is given the same drive letter D: on my new computer. The only thing different is my User name is something more private and less personal. If that is the reason how do I change it so xnview recognizes my picture ratings?
