Here's a blurb on that: Also, custom OmniScans are saved automatically & manually. The stocks.otd (which is a much larger file size) file mentioned above contains all OmniScans while the backups contain only the user created custom scans. To access the OmniScan backup & restore functions right-click any OmniScan list while inside OmniScan & select List Maintenance. The OmniScan backups are saved in the following locations: Vista/Windows 7/8/10 - C:\ProgramData\NirvanaSystems\OmniScan Otherwise, I get stock lists from other sites and often they have an export to excel. If so, I save it as a .csv and then do an import using file/import/symbol list/browse. I import it into an empty "My Symbols" list and then rename it to something appropriate. If they don't have an excel import and you can save it as a text file you can then create a .csv. I have not tested all variations but I have the best luck by pruning my .csv to just symbol and name.

Do you know a way to search for a post by its number? I’ve never been able to figure that out. I think you need to provide a link. (Ie a url) | ||

I just tried it using the number (19324), checked subject and body, no time limit and it came up. I had saved the post in Onenote say had it handy. Tried it again and it look like I'm finding the reference to the number in the body. Whatever works! [Edited by LSJ on 5/28/2019 7:53 AM] | ||

C:\ProgramData\NirvanaSystems\OmniScan Transfer the manual or auto backup file to the new machine to the same location. Go back to List Maintenance in OmniScan & perform the restore function. | ||

I put them in the scan import folder and then opened OT - but nothing happened... then I checked the folder and the files were gone. | ||
