I used to use the merge utility back in the day when it was first introduced, but for a long while now, I've gotten into the habit of setting up each new big release of Jaws independantly of each other. The start up wizzard does help and it takes maybe five minutes if that to go through the settings center and getting everything going and configured. I just run into the same yearly issue of not remembering where to copy over dictionary and other Jaws files from one JFW version to the other. Mainly because I have to do it just once a year, but eventually I get it done. I've found it to be a cleaner way of running my Jaws and this way too, I can avoid any issues that may be present in an older version of JFW and more or less start fresh. That said, I can understand how some folks may be put out with the extra work and lack of convenience with the merge utility no longer available.

So for this version you need to reconfigure. I am sure there will be a merge facility for moving from 17 to 18 because they will be more in sync.

I'm very upset for fs removing the murg utility option in jaws 17. They have the excuse that older version settings can know longer being important in 17. I don't know if I must laugh. If they new that it would happen, why did they not make a priority to implement a replacement tool wich could be in 17? Now you have to manually change everything? Is it possible perhaps to use the settings packager to acomplish that? I find it so tragic that they spend the hole year on smart navigation, wich is not even such a remarkable feature, really this was going to be more bennifishil to more people and now that its not ready it will affect everyone negatively. _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com
