| Summary | 0003793: Rename registry settings | ||||
| Description | Currently registry settings for MM are stored in 'Songs-DB' registry key (for compatibility reasons). As suggested in http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=21804, we should change it to 'MediaMonkey'. It would probably make sense to do so before MM 3.0 release. Also, probably not everything from 'Songs-DB' would be imported so that 3.0 default interface wouldn't be damaged by some old 2.5 configuration. Things to import would include: 1. Gold key. 2. Device configuration. 3. Possibly CD configuration. | ||||

Assigning to Rusty for a review. |

I have no problem with this, provided it's a low risk change. If there is a significant associated risk, I'd push this off since we're planning on getting rid of the registry anyhow. btw, if we go ahead with this: I'm not sure if VCD settings are stored to the registry, but they should be migrated as well. |
|
|
Note: in the even that we don't fix this, there is a bug that _must_ be fixed: some items saved to HKCU>Software>MediaMonkey aren't removed at uninstall time (e.g. hotkeys). |
|
|
Fixed in build 1102. - 'Software\MediaMonkey' key is used exclusively now for registry access. - 1&2 are imported from old registry key, 3 doesn't seem to be necessary. - Both old and new keys are removed upon uninstallation. |
|
|
It seems that hkcu>software>mediamonkey remains even after uninstalling MM (even when uninstall proceeds smoothly). I don't see hkcu>software>songsdb though. Also, a related problem: even after completely manually deleting the registry key, there is still an Extension listed as installed in the extensions dialog--how can I get rid of it? (note: I'm logged in with Admin rights). |

Both fixed in build 1105. |
|
|
Verified 1105. |

|
Tested 1106 and there are 2 problems: 1) Somehow, even after uninstalling, File Monitor settings remain! Are they stored in a registry location that isn't being cleaned properly? 2) As described in the forum, upgrading from a previous version doesn't migrate settings / license key |
|
|
Fixed in build 1106. 1. They are stored in the MM.ini file. 2. Gold key is now properly read from the old registry key. |

Verified 1108. |
