Import content from portable version
Hello everyone!
I've been using the portable version of Sweet Home 3D for a long time and now I just bought the Windows Store version. The thing is that in the portable version I already have a lot of content that I have downloaded from different sources which I would like to import to the new Windows version.
Is there any was for me to import all the content from the portable version in bulk? Or do I have to import each and every item one by one again? Probably I kill myself if I have to go with the second option (just kidding)

Re: Import content from portable version
The content of the data folder found in the portable version is compatible with the following folder of the installer version: - under Windows Vista / 7 / 8 / 10 /11, the folder C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\eTeks\Sweet Home 3D, - under Windows XP, the folder C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\eTeks\Sweet Home 3D, - under Mac OS X with the free version, the subfolder Library/Application Support/eTeks/Sweet Home 3D of your user folder, - under Mac OS X with the Mac App Store version, the subfolder Library/Containers/com.eteks.sweethome3d.SweetHome3D/Data/Library/Application Support/eTeks/Sweet Home 3D of your user folder, - under Linux and other Unix, the subfolder .eteks/sweethome3d of your user folder.
Just quit Sweet Home 3D, copy the content of data folder to the matching folder (mostly furniture and textures folders, as well as preferences.xml and .pref files) and relaunch the program. Then you should find back all the 3D models and textures you imported in Sweet Home 3D portable version.

Re: Import content from portable version
Hello Emmanuel!
Thank you very much for your promptly answer!
Well, that did the trick, thank you!
Just a side note, the eTeks folder wasn't located at C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\eTeks\Sweet Home 3D, it was in C:\Users\user\eTeks\Sweet Home 3D, maybe that is because of my Windows version or because I'm in a Microsoft Family group, I don't know but wanted to mention it just in case someone else doesn't find the folder.
