Hi Kilian

I finally upgraded from Kairon2 which I had used on OS9 and looking forward to Kairon3 since buying OS 10.4.

Is there any way to import all the charts I had set up in Kairon2 ?

PS. I like the snowflakes.

PS2. I'm german but wish I could read german.

Hi Lorel,

you're welcome 8)
To import old files the best way is to first upgrade to version 3.5 (http://kilian.stern.net/Kairon35Beta.zip) and then use the import command. If you don't feel like upgrading yet, you can open old files using the "open" command. To have more of them in one file go to the AAF section of the text view and copy paste the AAF-Data between various open files (in detail you find the use of the aaf view described in the online tutorial of http://kairon.cc). This Tutorial is important anyways. Still another way would be to create a text file with any text editor and to paste all your old kairon files as AAF-Data (from within Kairon 2.19's "Name, Data..." dialog) and finally save that text file as plain text but see to it that it has the suffix ".aaf" (like "oldFiles.aaf") ...

Best wishes and take care,
Kilian
