Hi,

I made a big mistake a couple of months ago, my daughter needed a computer urgently haven't broken her old one for her exams so I had to lend her my imaging laptop which she managed to drop!

I now need to get all my filters order details from the old hard disk to load them onto my new computer, please can someone tell how to extract this?
I'm currently using AA5.

Thanks

Hi,
if you mean the serial number/password then it cannot be retrieved anyway from a previous installation. That data is simply located in the email about the order. If you lost the email, just contact: http://www.msb-astroart.com/support.htm

Hi,

Sorry I should have been clearer, I've got the serial number and password what I need to know is the configuration of the filterwheel from the camera plugin. I don't have the order of the filters stored anywhere else other than in AA so I hoping this could be extracted from a configuration file.

Thanks

Hi, the file is called: " f-wheel.ini " , look in the Astroart installation folder and in:
c:\users\<username>\Appdata\local\Virtual Store\Program Files\Astroart5\ on Windows 7
