Importing favorites into U-he Diva

[stephanjd]

Hello, I wiped my computer and am reinstalling a bunch of VST's to get my setup running again. I saved my Diva folder from before, and I am trying to figure out how to import my favorite patches I used before into diva.

Are you on mac or pc?
On mac they are several Diva folders, hope you saved the right one if you are on mac.
On PC I think it may actually just be one.

If PC you dont need to import it there is a database file that you just need to copy.
Not in front of my PC now, but it is pretty obvious if you open your Diva folder. (I think the subfolder is called Preset Database or something like that)

Boldly assuming you are on a Windows computer, the folder zvenx mentioned is called PresetDatabase inside the Diva.data folder.
Just move the Diva_Presets.presetsdb file to the PresetDatabase folder of your new installation.

And for the future:
If you are using the latest Diva 1.4.4 version, there is an easier way to backup and restore favourites.

Just SHIFT-drag the main favourites smart folder out of the plugin browser onto the desktop.
This will create a JSON file containing all the info about your favourites.
When you later want to restore the favourites, just drag the file back onto the main favourites folder in the browser.
