Transferring filters

2003-01-19 Thread John Phillips

Hi Bat! Fans,

I am in the process of setting up a third isp (actually Hamster).

Is there any way of simply transferring all my existing filters to
this third isp from my other two accounts?

Thanks!

Hallo John,

First you select the account with the most filters. ;-)
Close TB
Copy the file account.srx from the old account to the new account
Start TB
You'll see that the new account has the same filters as the old one
Now you go to the sorting office of the other account
Start an instance of a text editor (notepad, SmartBat, whatever)
Select a filter, press Ctrl-C (not the copy-button, that's something else)
Paste the selected filter into your text editor
Do this for every filter you'd like to copy
When you're done, select all filters in your text editor
Copy them and paste them into the sorting office of the new account
(This has to be done separately for incoming, outgoing, etc filters)

Unfortunately the exporting can only be done one filter at the time,
but the importing can be done all at once. That's the reason to use a
text-editor as go-between, since it's easier to swap active windows
than to copy a filter, close the sorting office, select other account,
open sorting office, paste the filter, close sorting office, select
the previous account, open the sorting office, sigh.
