Problem with importing spell timers

Burdy · 10-25-2009, 11:09 AM

Hi
I recently installed Win7 and wanted to import my timers, triggers and data corrections from my old ACT. I exported everything and when imported into my new ACT I get an error and the following error log:

("Der angegebene Schlüssel war nicht im Wörterbuch angegeben" means sth like "The denoted key wasn't in the dictionary")

No idea what it means. Can someone help me?

Reading and writing of config files follows a list. What that message is saying is that the config setting isn't in its list of things its allowed to change.

I forgot to remove that one setting in the config export dialog and replace it with a new one that the config loader knows about. But that shouldn't be stopping you from doing the import. It's merely letting you know it encountered an error on its way... not that it had completely failed. Or am I mistaken?

UAC sucks. After asking me the third time if I really wanted to launch the Launchpad I deactivated it

It seems that ACT imported everything except the spell timers, the one thing I'd like to be imported the most.

That's actually perplexing. The section that had an error is the last section that should be written in an export. Even if the last half of the XML is corrupted, the incremental read of the file should have been successful up to that point. Could you look in the exported XML to make sure the spells are even there to import?

They are there. Order in the export-xml is
clip format (made it)
custom triggers (made it)
data corrections (made it)
spell timers (not in)
table sorting (made it)

Well, just delete everything else out of the file then... till it looks like:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Config>
    <SpellTimers>
        <Spell ... />
        <Spell ... />
    </SpellTimers>
</Config>

Thanks, now it worked fine.

For some reason, even when I select the check boxes for spell timers and mods on an export from a working machine, when I import the settings on my test box the spell timers are not there.

Am I missing a step?
