I mainly use Rhino 7 and would like to start moving my workflow over to Rhino 8, mainly to use PushPull. I’ve tried these steps, and did the OptionsExport/Import steps but I was wondering if there was a more streamlined way to move over to Rhino 8?
By move over, I mean I’d like to run a command, export a file or follow some straightforward process (i.e. akin to one that you’d follow when transferring to a new phone) such that once completed, when I open Rhino 8, I’ll find:
everything that I’ve changed in _Options (Aliases, display modes
all plug-ins from my Rhino 7 that are compatible installed (and ideally, a list of which plug-ins were incompatible and thus not installed)
my custom toolbars
template files
Basically, I’d like to find everything that I customised about Rhino 7 in Rhino 8 such that I can just switch out the app pinned to my taskbar, use the great new features or R8 and never look back.
I’m currently trying to do things manually, but in the event that the move to Rhino 8 ends up negatively impacting my workflow, I will opt to return to my more familiar Rhino 7 environment until I eventually need to use R8 again. At that point, I would hope to not have to manually update my Rhino 8 to work like my 7 again.
Scratch that, while writing this post, I realized this bug still exists: PopupToolbar flashes then disappears : RH-79373 (myjetbrains.com) which is something my workflow highly depends on. It’s nice to see that the MMB Popup Toolbar now works, but the fact that PopupToolbar still doesn’t work after more than half a year since release is really killing my motivation to transfer over.
