IMPORTANT

It would appear that you are updating from a preview version of CodeSnip v4.

You may wish to consider making some changes before continuing with this installation.

Configuration Options

Your new version of CodeSnip will, by default, use any new settings you have saved using the preview release.

If you prefer to revert to program defaults, or wish to bring forward existing settings from an earlier version of CodeSnip you must delete the user configuration file manually before starting the new version of CodeSnip. To do this delete the User.config file in the %AppData%\DelphiDabbler\CodeSnip.4 directory. DO THIS NOW.

User Defined Snippets Database

If you have previously been using v2 or v3 of CodeSnip to maintain your own database of user defined snippets and have been experimenting with creating and editing snippets using the preview release, you may have snippets in two different databases that you would like to keep.

If you have created or brought forward a user database using the preview release, your new version of CodeSnip will use that database. If you also want to use your older database created by v2 or v3, here's how:

•	Cancel this installation.
•	Start the older version of CodeSnip you used to create the database and back it up using the program's Database | Backup User Database menu option. This works with any CodeSnip v2.x or v3.x release.
•	If you have any snippets you have developed using the preview that you want to keep, start your preview release of CodeSnip and export those snippets. How this is done depends on which preview version you have been using. Look on the Snippets menu if present or on the Database menu otherwise.
•	If you have decided to uninstall the preview, do it now.
•	Run this installation again and skip this page if it is displayed.
•	Start your newly installed version of CodeSnip 4.
•	If you see a "first run" dialogue box follow its instructions. If it suggests bringing forward a user database, do not allow this. Wait for CodeSnip's main window to be displayed.
•	Use the Database | Restore User Database menu option to restore the v2 or v3 database you exported earlier.
•	Import any snippets you exported from the CodeSnip preview by using the Snippets | Import Snippets menu option to display the Import Wizard.
•	Save the user database using the Database | Save User Database menu option.

You will now have a new database containing all your old snippets along with any new ones you elected to keep from the preview release.

If you have not brought forward or created a user defined snippets database while using the preview release you need do nothing at present. The first time you run your new version of CodeSnip it will help you import any database created by an earler version of the program.
