Is it possible to carry over playlists from one VP version to another?

[Quadrasputnik]

I've made the post, but like another question answered while I wait.

I have hundreds of Tables with edited Titles, Years, Types and the like, and I don't want to have to fill it all in for the lists of each VP Version. Is there a way I can Carry Over the Playlists I made from an older version to a newer one? It would save me tons of time.

I split this into a new thread for your question as it was outside of the scope of the original. Going forward, please open a new thread when you have a question or issue not related to the original post. This helps keep the focus on the original issue reported. Thanks.

You mean copy database entries between different system databases (like VP9 table data to a VP10 database)?. I don't think there's an easy way no. Too many unknowns / variables, different tables in each database, different file names etc.

Then it looks like I have to spend even more months sorting, filtering and adding all of the Tables again. At this point, I have spent one whole year and haven't even gotten a Frontend properly playable yet.

It might be worth attaching a zip file of your pinballx\databases folder, a copy of your pinballx\config\pinballx.ini file and a full description of what you are trying to achieve (is this adding new tables to PinballX, or changing existing table details?). I originally read the post as editing existing table entries in multiple databases (now i'm not too sure).

For what it's worth i'd only bother with VP10 versions of tables and remove any VP9 duplicates.

Or are you just re-organizing your tables in VP ?
If you move over  from VP9 table to VP10 tables, I would advise to recreate the video's.
As @scutters says, it will be a pain in the (euh ...) to move things over from an older to a new version
