Updating Workgroup Library for new version


Recommended Posts

I feel like I should know this...

Is there an automated way to update all of the resources in a Workgroup Library for a new version of VW?
 

Currently, I am manually opening each of my resource files in the Workgroup folder and saving them with the new suffix to the file name. 

So "Custom Hatches_VW2024.VWX" becomes "Custom Hatches_VW2025.vwx" ... now We have 2 or 3 versions of each file in the Workgroup Folder. (we usually keep at least 2 versions of VW installed).

 

Is it "better" to create a duplicate Workgroup Folder for each major release? "Workgroup_2024" and "Workgroup_2025"?

At least then all the files could exist without a version suffix.

 

I'm dealing with maybe 30 or 40 files. This has to be cumbersome if you have 100s of shared resources. 

 

There has to be a better way.

Aha, thank you.

I erroneously assumed that the Migration tool was just for VW Preferences/Workspaces, etc.

However, for others who follow, if you change the user data in this dialog to your shared Workgroup folders:Screenshot2024-09-15131327.png.21633eb24527f648417c4a3bb4a4d77e.png 

 

 

You then this get dialog to Migrate the Workgroup files.

Old dog, new trick. 

 

Much appreciated.
