New computer, how to transfer charts that reference another SC data installation

Hello,

I am transferring over to a new computer, and I followed the help guide on how to transfer the settings / charts (worked perfectly). A lot of my charts refer to a separate Sierra Charts installation to incorporate the SC Forex Data feed with my Interactive brokers data. I've installed a second installation of Sierra Charts on the new computer as well. Is there a way to have all the charts refer to that installation without reconfiguring them one by one?

Thanks,
Steven

To follow up, even if I try to reload the symbol referring to the new Sierra Charts second installation (on the new PC), it seems to be trying to pull from the old PC's directory, so I'm not even sure how to manually work around this chart by chart

So you are going to a chart that uses data from a remote copy of Sierra Chart and selecting Chart >>Chart Settings >> Find beside the Symbol box , re-selecting the symbol from the remote instance which is running, and there is some problem with this? This should work fine.

I figured out how to fix the problem when I reselected (I copied the config files over and the sierra charts data folder location was still pointing to the old path).

However, this is still very tedious to do for all of my charts. Is there a way to auto redirect them to the new remote Sierra Charts or am I out of luck?

In the case of charts which refer to a remote instance of Sierra Chart, it is necessary to update them one by one if the remote instance/copy of Sierra Chart is installed into a different location.
