converting suf5 project to suf8

[prisch]

Hello

Is there a way to convert existing project files (SetupFactory 5) to the current version 8?

Thanks

nope -- SUF is now script based instead of the point-n-click based code it used.

best to recreate it; depending on how complicated this is either trivial; or a time consuming effort. I've done lots of 6 to 8 conversions, didn't know anyone still used 5....

Setup Factory 8.0 is able to import projects created with version 6.0, and there is a converter for project files from version 5.0 to 6.0. So, while possible, the conversion might not be perfect.

To add to what Ulrich said.. The "importer" he mentioned does not actually "import" your old project, instead, it transfers the file list. That's pretty much it. screens & actions are not imported/converted, leaving you to have to redo most of the work anyway...

Thanks for the answers.

I redid the project. But I must say: it requires much more time and knowledge know get some actions done.

Once you get used to the lua scripting; you'll find it's MUCH more powerful and flexible than the old ways....
