Move Your Newsbin Environment

Transferring Newsbin to another system is easy with the following steps:

1. Install on Target System: Install and register Newsbin on the new machine.

2. Copy the Data Path: Find your existing DATA folder via Options > Setup and copy it to your new setup.

3. Move Window Settings: Copy Guiitems.db3 to C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\newsbin to retain tab layouts.

4. Use Existing Configuration: Locate and copy the .NBI file. Start Newsbin by double-clicking it.

5. Changing the Newsbin Data Folder location:

   • Use "Save Configuration As" or check the Newsbin title bar to find your configuration file.

   • Use "Open Data Folder" in Options > Setup to view your current Data location.

   • Close Newsbin.

   • Open the .NBI configuration file in a text editor after making a backup.

   • Change the DataPath entry under the [Settings] section.

   • Transfer the data from the old folder to the new one.

   • Launch Newsbin using the updated .NBI file.

6. Launch Using Saved Configuration: After the first launch, Newsbin will remember and use the copied configuration.

Queued items must be manually updated via "Download to Folder" if the path changes.
