I can't find my personal presets in 2022

    If you still have your previous version installed you can export them from there and import to 2022.

    Do I have to do every one of them one by one, or do you know of a way to export them all at once?

    Okay, I went into the extras manager and exported all of my presets at once. It says they were successfully exported. However, when I try to import them into 2022, they won't open. I've tried it a couple of times.

    What version are you exporting from?

    What happens when you try to open them and how are you doing that?

    Have you tried using the Import button in the Extras Manager?

    I'm exporting from 2021. I don't try to open them; I try to import them. However, in order to import them, I need to be able to select them. For some reason, they are "grey" instead of full color (as if it's the wrong program or the program can't identify them or something) and I just can't even import them.

    Looks like this: doesn't let me click on them to open them:

    Which program is that from? My window for Photo RAW 2022.1 looks like this

    Looks like your windows are black and mine are white. It's ON1 2022.1, latest update installed today.

    ...my extras manager window is white, too. They're just white. I agree it's less artsy looking, but that seems to be how they are.

    It isn't the white vs black view, that is an operating system setting in System Preferences. The thing that confuses me is that your window is showing options for importing .onp and .onr file types while mine is showing only .onp. I don't have the option for .onr and you don't have the option for Legacy Effects.

    Can you go to the Finder and right-click on the Jessica….ONPreset file and choose the Open With command then select Photo RAW 2022.1 from your Applications folder.

    I do have that option. It doesn't work that way, either.

    Great! I did what you told me to do and it works. Thanks for the help! Wonder why it didn't work the other way.

    The program isn't allowing you to Import .ONPreset files for some reason. That and the differences in what our programs are allowing are questions for tech support.

    Glad you got them imported. It's also curious that they were not migrated when you first ran 2022.

    I was also curious. They were migrated when I installed the trial version initially, but I deleted that program and reinstalled it a couple of months later. Must be a new issue.

    That actually explains why they were not migrated. When you removed the previous version of 2022 you most likely left all the preferences files for it in place. The uninstaller does not remove them, it must be done manually. They hold a flag that says the migration has already been performed. When you installed the 2022.1 update it picked up the old 2022 preferences so the migration was skipped.

    No, I used a rather fancy uninstaller that finds all associated files. I use it for everything. It's the only program that's been able to find the last scraps of some annoying programs I have.

    Sorry to tell you but it missed the preferences files. That is the ONLY way it could have skipped the migration for your 2nd installation. The flag the tells the program the migration has already been done has to be stored somewhere or the program would re-migrate every time it was launched. It isn't stored in the OS, it is in the program's preferences. Therefore the preferences must have still been in place.

    It doesn't matter now since you're back up and running and that's what we wanted. 😀

    Well, maybe. I uninstalled everything and reinstalled it, making sure absolutely every file was gone, just for the fun of it, and it was. I was really sure of it this time. Do you know of any way to import all my old export settings from 2021? They don’t appear in 2022. Do I have to re-create them all? What drudgery! And is there a way so that I don’t have to see all those unwanted pre-fab export settings all open every time I want to export anything? I want nothing to do with them. Let me know if you have any insight! :-)

    There are only 3 ways to get your presets from 2021 to 2022. Manually export them from 2021 and import to 2022, download and install them fresh, via the migration process.

    If you hold a Shift key during program launch you'll be presented with a Delete Settings dialog. Click the button Reset ON1 Photo RAW 2022 button and it will clear everything—Albums, Catalogs, Keyword List, the internal database, your preferences files, etc. It essentially returns the program to the same state as when it was before being run for the first time. It will not affect your edits as those are stored in the .on1 sidecar files as long as you have left that option turned on the program's Preferences.

    Resetting the program will cause a new migration to be run but you'll have to rebuild your Albums and Catalogs. The program will rebuild the Keyword List while rebuilding the Catalogs.

    If you're truly interested, there is a flag called DataMigrationFromPreviousVersionFinished in the com.ononesoftware.<ModuleName>2022.plist files in your ~/Library/Preferences folder.

    My develop presets were prefectly imported when I deleted the entire 2022 program and reinstalled. I'm fine with that. I did it this morning. Everything was completely reset. It's great! I've only just started working with 2022 and I had nothing to loose.

    In my last comment, I was wondering if you knew of a way to migrate my export settings to 2022. That seems to be the only thing I am missing. Do you have any ideas for this? I have about 10 export settings that I use on a regular basis and it would be a lot of work to redo them all from scratch. I don't think this is considered data.

    Thank you!

    I don't know of any way to migrate the Export Presets. That seems to be an oversight in the migration manager and should probably be reported to tech support.
