backup or transfer winks in WML

Hi,

Does anyone know hot to backup all userwinks, emocons and so on in WML?
Where is it saved? And can i transfer them to an other computer?

Thanks.

Frank

Greetings Frank,

Actually just copying over the files won't work I'm afraid due to how the storage format
works. Instead, use this tool to transfer them:

Thanks,

I saw that one before though. But i always like to do those things myself.
Just copying will not help, that i know, but is there a way to do it manually?

Ill try the program anyway, cos i have loads installed at the moment(found a
free site)

btw, are you waiting for a msg to appear?? Very fast on reply, lol.

Keep up the good work.

Franky

Hi,

Manually.. not exactly. If you're into decryption algorithms, sure. Additionally, you could
copy over some of the files and readd them one-by-one manually since for example the
CustomEmoticons are just PNG and GIF files renamed to DAT.

The exact storage location can be found by typing your ID here:

Hi,

Yes I just noticed it was open source myself just now. That should make things a lot easier.
