Convert older LogSquare Projects

IMPORTANT: Due to the new recording method, in which the mouse activities are recorded directly into the screen video, projects recorded with LogSquare 4 and 5 do no longer show any mouse activities in LogSquare 6 and up!

If you want to continue using older projects, you need to convert them with the help of LogSquare 5:

Open the *.lsq project in LogSquare Viewer v5 (or 4).
(Our example project is called T2 Test 17_11_2011 14-48-32.lsq)

Click File - Export Videos, to export the screen video including the mouse activities.

Save the exported video under the exact same name as the original project, except for the extension.
(In our example T2 Test 17_11_2011 14-48-32.avi)

Close the project.

Right-click the *.lsq file (which is in fact a compressed folder) in the Windows Explorer.

Open the package with 7zip or rename the package to *.zip to use another decompression software.

The content of the the *.lsq package is now shown in a separate window:

Next Topic

Drag the new video into this window, replacing the original avi file:

Confirm the message about adding the file to the container.

Confirm replacing the existing video.

Close the *.lsq container window, to save your changes.

Close LogSquare Viewer 5.

Open the updated lsq project in the new LogSquare.
