I just upgraded SC and my intraday symbols list is blank. How do I restore these?

Thanks,
Larry

This is from the 928 version Notes:
The internal storage of the symbols in the Global Settings >> Intraday File Update List has been changed. Therefore, when updating to this version, you will lose your symbol list and will have to reenter the symbols. Entering symbols into this window is uncommon and if the symbols are used in this list, it generally would be a small list of symbols. Therefore, we did not develop code to copy from the old file to the main configuration file where they are held now. The easiest way to transfer the symbols in the Intraday File Update List in an older version to a new version, is to use the Export button on the older version of this window to export to a file before updating to this version or higher, and then use the Import button on the new version of this window to import the symbols.

Well, IMHO the reason people buy software is to make things easier, not more complicated. I'm disappointed that you didn't consider your customer's time when "not" developing code to transfer the old symbol file to your new rev.

In order to export from the old rev. I would have to restore a disk image and then export from Sierra, and then restore the new disk image, and import into the new rev.

Inexcusable in my opinion.
