Multiple Replace Setting lists are not available after installin 5.0.0

[JoeLev65]

ALl replace lists for multiple replace are gone. Obvoiusly they are stored in a json now.

How to copy from the "old" xml ?

Your SE 4 rules are not lost - Subtitle Edit 4 and 5 store their settings separately, and SE 5 can import the old rules:

Option 1 - everything at once: Press Ctrl+4 ("Set up like Subtitle Edit 4"). This locates your old SE 4 Settings.xml automatically (in %AppData%\Subtitle Edit, or next to SubtitleEdit.exe for portable installs) and imports your multiple replace rules and keyboard shortcuts. Note that it also switches SE 5 to the classic theme/icons and the SE 4 waveform colors.

Option 2 - only the replace rules: In SE 4, open "Edit -> Multiple replace" and export your groups to a .template file. Then in SE 5, open "Edit -> Multiple replace" (Ctrl+Shift+R), right-click in the rules list and choose "Import..." - the SE 4 XML format is read directly.
