RE: Upgrading from 9 to 10
Thank you to Rick and Jeff. For those of you upgrading from 9 to 10 on Win 7, 64 bit systems, you copy both the .cfsw and .fws files FROM the following directory C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\9\WorkSpaces\UnStructured TO the following directory: C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\10\WorkSpaces\UnStructured Why this isn't done automatically if you are doing an upgrade and not a from scratch install is beyond me, but all my workspaces are indeed now available in Framemaker 10. Again, thanks to this list. It's a lifesaving and sanity saving resource.

RE: Upgrading from 9 to 10
Looking at the dates on my Workspace files, I would guess that .fws is the original you defined, and .cfws is the customized or current one storing the latest changes to the workspace. Just my guess. -- garyZ -Original Message- From: Stuart Rogers Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2012 9:43 AM To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Re: Upgrading from 9 to 10 On 27/03/2012 12:32 PM, Tammy Van Boening wrote: Thank you to Rick and Jeff.

RE: Upgrading from 9 to 10
Hi Tammy, Workspaces in FrameMaker 10 are saved in the FrameMaker installation folder in fminit\WorkSpaces\UnStructured (or Structured). Each workspace file is an XML file with a .fws extension. I am not sure about FrameMaker 9, but if they are located in the same place, you could copy them from your FrameMaker 9 folder to the corresponding FrameMaker 10 folder. I would backup the FrameMaker 10 .fws files first, just in case. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thank you very much.

Found them - they're hiding in the hidden Application Data folder - on my XP machine it's in C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Application Data\Adobe\FrameMaker\9\WorkSpaces\UnStructured\ (or Structured as the case may be).
