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.
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 are automatically converted while re-importing existing flows as described above. See upgrading deprecated flow elements.
