Uninstalling TBS4.5 after installing TBS5?

Retired Products Toon Boom Studio Support and Troubleshooting

Just want to confirm that I won’t muck up anything here. I installed TBS5 on my XP box thinking that it would uninstall the 4.5 version. It doesn’t. Are there any problems with manually uninstalling TBS4.5 at this point?

Thanks,
Mike

Well, TBS 5 is a complete new install, I guess, if desired, it will happily work alongside 4.5.
Keep in mind, any project saved in 5 won’t open anymore in 4.5…
Drag TBS 4.5 and it’s Preference-File into the trash and delete…
Be aware before you delete the “Toonboom Studio-Global-Library 4.5” Folder,
transfer this Library into the “Toon Boom Studio-Global Library 5.0” Folder.

Thanks, Nolan. Questions on that 4.5 library.

What’s in the 4.5 library that is worth saving?

Copy everything straight into the 5.0 folder or create a subdirectory in it (maybe called 4.5) and copy the files in to it?

Well, transferring the Library-contents from 4.5 to 5.0 is of course only important if one has something to transfer… Otherwise, don’t bother and delete Library 4.5.
(I had about a few hundred Templates saved in the 4.5 Library (years of drawing work))…

Thanks! I’d have been cussing myself for losing those.
