- start regedit
- delete the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HeidiSQL
- rename the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MySQL-Front to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HeidiSQL
- start HeidiSQL

in fact you will lose some minor options by deleting the newer key, but your old server-registrations should be well working then.

danke, das hat funktioniert (in deutsch ist es doch einfacher...).
ich möchte an dieser stelle mal sagen, dass ich es ganz klasse
finde, dass mysql-front nun weiter lebt. ich wollte es schon
aussortieren da die alte version mit mysql5 nicht funktionierte.
alternativen wie navicatsql überzeugten nicht, obwohl die
zeitgesteuerte backupfunktion ein wichtiges feature ist!

WEITER SO!!!!

Since I want to keep MySQL-Front2.5, an easier (and safer) way to import the server settings for HeidiSQL is to use the File/Export-Settings command in MySQL-Front..or use regedit to export the key branch

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MySQL-Front

naming it something like Mysql-Front_servers.reg.

Use Notepad to edit the reg file and remove the section
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MySQL-Front]

and then do a Edit-Replace of "MySQL-Front\Servers" with "HeidiSQL\Servers" and save the edited reg file.

Now you can use HeidiSQL command File/Import Settings to import the edited reg file with all the old server settings.
