I just upgraded from Delphi 10.3.1 to Delphi 10.3.2. I exported the migration settings so I could import them immediately after the upgrade was completed.
Unfortunately the "migration settings" does not include the MRU (Most Recently Used) list of Delphi projects and files I had been working with within the 10.3.1 IDE.
It's probably too late now because I did a complete uninstall of Delphi 10.3.1 before doing the install of Delphi 10.3.2 as per Embarcadero's instructions. So I'm asking this for upgrades I will be doing going forward.
Is there a way to export the MRU list from the Delphi IDE so it can be imported after an upgrade?
The list of Closed Files and Closed Projects is included in the Migrations Settings export file.
Simply open this file with an XML friendly text editor and look for these two sections:
The reason I suggest an "XML" friendly text editor such as Notepad++ is this; I tried opening the migration settings file within the Delphi IDE and got and error message.
Error - "One or more lines were too long and have been truncated"
Unfortunately you have to open the "Closed Projects" one at a time from within the IDE to rebuild this list. In reality it only takes a few minutes to do and it get's the IDE's MRU list updated.
