Hi, you can try this: 1. Open your Empty4 terminal and click on “File > Open Data Folder”. 2. You will now see a similar setup, that you have seen in the older builds. 3. Go to the MQL4 folder. 4. Here you should be able to localize all your files, maybe you must place some of your old files now in the correct new folder. Now restart Empty4... Cheers Tommaso |

I am not sure if it was mentioned before (I did not read the whole thread), but to avoid what you call "obscure folder somewhere" and getting back to have all indicators, eas, scripts etc. saved within your terminal-directory, you could try to start the terminal.exe via one batch-file (.bat) to start it in the "portable mode": open e.g. notpad and type: start "" terminal.exe /portable save the file in the same folder as the terminal.exe (so your Empty4-folder) as e.g. startmt4.bat Do not start Empty4 by doubleclicking the terminal.exe, use the startmt4.bat btw, the "obscure folder" is (on windows7) located in c:\user...\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\ |

Yes, I follow the new folder structure and know where to put everything (I think, lol). But all of my previous set files are gone. I had made an archive of the sets before the build loaded, but I must have missed archiving a few. So, now I am trying to find my missing set files.... I don't understand why MQ did not migrate set files like the other files. Some of these sets took me forever to generate. also, I am little annoyed that my criminal did not give me advance notice of this. |

=============================================================================== Hi, I was wondering if anybody had any luck with this because my Empty4 build610 is giving problems using kernell.dll and debugview (which I have embedded in all my programs and custom charts ) . The Empty4 seems to compile ok after changing to Unicode command but nothing happens in DEBUGVIEW ..ie. no data comes through .. The Print commands work in Empty4 ok..so something is happening .. Any ideas ? Below is the code I am using if anybody wants to test it . You also need DEBUGVIEW.exe from microsoft ..avail on net. Code: Select all |

I am certain that there is a bug in the string handling in build 600+. I had exactly the same problem which I fixed by replacing string concatenate with this: Code: Select all I think they have screwed up but I really cannot be arsed to help them by reporting it as they are the rudest bunch of cnuts you would want to know. If you look at the help file for mql 4 and mql 5 you will see that stringconcatenate returns a string in mql4 and an int in mql5 Code: Select all I think the behaviour is wrong when you nest the string functions |

Thanks, Tommaso. HATE updates. HATE MT5 and "improved" Empty4. Still haven't found alternative. So far, P4L Clock is dead. I can't exist without that. Time to go back to stocks. :youknow: Got update to P4L at http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=109305 2014-03-19: New "P4L Clock.mq4" v2_12 and installed, opened, saved & compliled it. AOK now. :hi: And they pull this crap at Tax Time... |

This reminds me a line I read many many years ago - if your core-business is going down the tubes, diversify and expand like a motherf*****... |

To open in notepad simply open your notepad application and drag and drop the ea or indicator onto the notepad window and it will open up for you. Regards maahome |
