A friend of mine just got a new computer. He is having two problems. First we set everything up for his Panel Pro. But when it comes up all the switches come up with the Unknown Icon. How do we get it to come up with the proper switch. His next problem is the newest JMRI doesn't have some of the decoders he has. He says they are older decoders. Thanks for your help. P. J. Mattson

We need more specific information about which decoders appear to be missing.

There could also be a problem if your friend has been adding custom or prerelease definitions. In this case an Actions->Rebuild Decoder Index may help.

P.J.:

Was this a clean install of 4.8.0 (4.9.1?)?

I've never seen a decoder go away but the JMRI will know that better than I.

If you brought over older version of JMRI or the data from the old version did you refresh (recreate) the decoder index?

No help on the PP problem.

I tried to talk him though it but he got frustrated. I'll have to go to his house I guess.

PJ,
When your friend upgraded his system, did he also upgrade to a newer OP system. W7 and W10 have different file structures so if he is using an older panel, the file locations for the resources are different. He will have to edit his xml file to reflect the new file locations since the panel cannot update that automatically. He needs to do that manually or replace all existing icons by editing the actual panel. Either way, it is a lot of work.
