Profiles not working after upgrade to 4.5.72

[recess3036]

HI,

I noticed that after upgrading to 4.5.72PE, that profiles will no longer import correctly. I played around with it and got them working, but thought I would mention here in case someone else saw the same thing.

All my profiles were created many many versions of AllDup ago and have been used in several versions. (in case that matters)
The differences I found
1. File encoding OLD profiles=ANSI - NEW Profiles=UTF-16 Little Endian (not sure if this was a factor)
2. OLD profile values had double-quoted values (usedb="1"), where NEW profiles do NOT (usedb=1)

What I did to fix.
1. created a new profile (just to get the correct file encoding)
2. Copied text from old profile to new profile
3. used search and replace on " and replaced with nothing (effectively removing all double quotes)

After that, the profiles will load with all the previous settings.

Hope this helps.

Thank you very much for the information!

With the next update, the old profiles (ANSI) will be automatically converted to the new UTF-16LE format when AllDup starts.
