FAQ
Answers to common questions when using WinPIM.
Q: How do I open data from an older version?
A: In the application, click the Menu and select Logout to return to the login screen. On the login screen, click the dropdown arrow and select Database Location -> Select Data Folder, then choose your old data folder. The program will automatically upgrade the old data to the latest version. After the upgrade is complete, the data will be opened.
Note: The old version's data directory is the one containing multiple .wpx files. After upgrade, the new version's data files are .wod files. Upgrading the data format will not affect the old version's data. If any error occurs during the upgrade, delete all .wod files in the directory and open the data directory again to re-upgrade the data files.
Q: How do I sync WinPIM data between 2 devices?
A: Any two devices, including Windows PCs, Mac PCs, Android phones, and Android tablets, can sync data with each other.
For the first device, in WinPIM, select Menu -> Sync, click the "Let others sync my data" button, and then start the service.
For the second device, in WinPIM, select Menu -> Sync, and on the Network Devices tab of the Sync View, click "Find Devices". The program will automatically scan and find syncable devices on the local network. Select the found device and click Connect. If the device is not on the local network, please enter the device's IP address and port number to connect. Then select a username, enter a password, and click Sync to begin data synchronization.
