Importing SEF files compiled in a different MC Build

Postby wilkinsw » 14 Aug 2014

Hi,

I've only just read on the Wiki that one can't import an SEF compiled in a different MC build.

I actually did this months ago without any obvious issues (8.8 8593 to 8.8 8967).

The fact I haven't had any error messages come up or any obvious unexpected behaviour, is it safe to assume that all is well? Or might there be underlying errors as a result of doing this that wouldn't neccessarily trigger an error message?

Thanks.

Hello wilkinsw,

Previously sef files were compatible only with the build they were exported from. Since MultiCharts 8.0 32bit sef (exported from MC 32 bit) is compatible with 32 bit MC only, 64bit sef is compatible with 64 bit MC only.

However, you cannot import .sef files into an earlier version of MC. ie: You cannot import MC 9.0 sef files into MC 8.8.
