Specifications

It is possible though to install and run multiple Switch product flavors in parallel, since each

flavor has its own preferences and application data. For example, you could run FullSwitch 07

and PowerSwitch 08 at the same time on the same computer.

Version change detection

After installing a new version of Switch, when it is launched for the first time, Switch detects the

version change and presents a warning dialog.

As explained in the dialog message if user click Proceed button, Switch makes a backup of existing

flows and then re-imports them. While re-importing the flows, Switch adjusts all flow elements

and properties so that they conform with the current version of Switch. Any problems are reported

to the user. See also importing and exporting flows.

If user clicks Cancel button Switch quits without making any changes to the flows.

Backup location

The automatically exported flows are stored in a folder named for the current date/time inside

the Switch designer's application data, which is system dependent.

For example, on a typical Windows system the location might be:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Enfocus\PowerSwitch

Designer\backup\2007-08-18--16-45-01

And on a typical Mac OS X system the location might be:

/Library/Application Support/Enfocus/PowerSwitch

Designer/backup/2007-08-18--16-45-01

Deprecated flow elements

Deprecated flow elements are automatically converted while re-importing existing flows as

described above. See upgrading deprecated flow elements.

Downgrading to a previous version

Follow these steps to roll back to a previous version of Switch:

1. Export all existing flows to a safe place as a backup; see Importing and exporting flows on

page 74.

2. Delete all existing flows in Switch (not the backup!); see Adding and removing flows on page

70.

3. Uninstall the newer version of Switch.

4. Install the previous version of Switch.

5. Launch Switch.

6. Import the flows from the backup made (when you first launched it); see backup location

above.
