Default flash fxp4 and 5?

Hmm, is is possible to have both versions installed?
What happens if I install the beta5? Can I have them in separate folders but using same sites?
I guess the thing is to use backup and then import. Please suggest a method for me to proceed.
Thanks in advance!

Yes it is possible to have both versions installed.

FlashFXP v5 will install into a new program\data location separate from version 4.

The first time you run version 5 it will attempt to detect a previous installation, if found it will import your settings and sites from the previous install into the new version 5 installation.

The data files are separate files and cannot be shared between versions. Once the import is done any changes made to version 4 or version 5 will be isolated from the other version.

If you're using the portable edition of version 4 or 5 then it may not find any previous installation, in that case you can use the Backup/Restore Configuration feature located under the Tools menu to backup your settings in version 4 and then import them into version 5.

When restoring a version 4 backup to version 5 the data files are converted to the new format used by version 5.

Green is used to indicate a queue operation in progress (i.e. file transfer)

ok, I would like you to use green as in connected. First impression. This was my first sight as first user...
Then any thread or thing can use other color.
:-)
But thanks for great program!

In FlashFXP v5.0 RC1 (just released) I have added an advanced feature to give the user the ability to override the state icons, you can read more about this here

In your specific case you'd just need to create a single file (605.ico) that uses the same icon as the stock 505.ico, if you send me a private message I can provide you a download link to the actual state icons used in FlashFXP.

My only input on this is simple.

There are 4 states hence 4 colors. Traffic lights principle + 1 additional color

The options here are swap Blue (connected) -> Green (transferring) or remove Blue state completely so you get 3 states only, (Im ok with that as long as it works)

The colors themselves are a dictated by OS (unfortunately). So anyone doing icons in correct color depth to be used, will soon notice the limitation issues.

I am definitely open to suggestions that work together with the system as a whole and this new feature of customizing the icons does indeed improve my ability to improve them.

exactly what i want to do, but im too dumb to install it in portable mode the v5 beta latest build, i remember it was an option during setup which is not available in latest setup.exe ,

my plan is :

-backup v4 settings from my current portable version
-install v5 beta portable in separate folder
-restore v4 settings into v5 portable

question: if having some current queue , is this converted too into v5 valid queue files or included in backup , not sure at all.

UPDATE: seems portable one was some separate setup.exe , well i would prefer including this in the major setup routine so you can chooose to install portable or normal setup , also pointing to some existing directory to migrate automatically, or otherwise using backup/restore, which would not be a problem.

so anyone else using v5 portable , im too dumb to find it ;-)

thanks
ben
