Re: Porting workbench settings from WDSc 7.0.0.8 to RDi 9.1?

Thanks for that suggestion, Buck.
Curious though -- is the evolution of RDi so great between WDSc and today that many of the preferences from then don't fit today? I'm anticipating that some (or many?) preference labels may have different names now?

Is it possible to export the workbench preferences and filters from

my old environment to the new?

Or will I need to rebuild (if I can remember how) everything?
Or is it unwise to want to import all the antiquity?

I dislike creating new workspaces so much that I've been known to edit
the raw properties files to correct anomalies in the workspace.

I created a brand new workspace for 9.1. I have been using Workspace
Mechanic to keep track of changes I make in Preferences and I like it
very much. Turn on the recorder, change the preference, save the
script. Now, every time I make a new workspace, Workspace Mechanic
prompts me to execute the scripts and update the settings -
automatically.
