My system search didn't find it, but a very handy program called "Advanced File Organizer" did. I have been using it for about 10 years and is worth every penny (Advanced File Organizer is a powerful yet easy-to-use cataloging utility that helps you find any file stored on a removable media or on your hard drive in a matter of seconds.) Check it out

This is a very good question.
I have investigated it further and found out that there is another directory:
Program Files ->Muvizu Play->Favourites, which contains the identical files as Program Files ->Muvizu Play -> MuvizuGame -> Presets directory. The problem is that all these are supplied with the program only. It doesn't show any your custom favourites. Where these are located I have no idea. Maybe someone has the answer for it.



Hi, your custom favorites are located in C:\ProgramData\Muvizu\Favourites\]]> Thu, 02 Feb 2017 12:13:05 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5404-moving-custom-characters-to-new-computer.aspx Message from animall This is a very good question.

I have discovered that on Windows 8.1 (x64) the address where favourites live are called "Presets"
Location of favourites folder: Program Files ->Muvizu Play -> MuvizuGame -> Presets
also: you must enable 'show hidden files and folders'

I hope that it keeps more hair on many heads

Does that show your custom favourites or just the preset favourites?]]> Thu, 02 Feb 2017 07:04:30 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5404-moving-custom-characters-to-new-computer.aspx Message from animall Location of favourites folder: Program Files ->Muvizu Play -> MuvizuGame -> Presets

I can find none of these folders C:\Users\All Users\Muvizu\Favourites or anything like them, also no sign of any .FAV file types on my Windows 10 64bit computer.

The closest I came to it is program files/muvizu play/muvizu game/content/packages which contain files called .upk i.e. at_beefyz-hats.upk

I'm no further ahead for a quick and easy solution to moving my favourites from one computer to another, but I've figured out a work-around which will have to do.



it is there on windows 10


type .fav in the search box, it should only take a few seconds. it will show as a favourites folder in the list. right click on that and click on open folder location

I hope that helps.

Well that explains why they seem independent to Muvizu when uninstalling and re-installing. Thanks for the insight Neil!

Note: On my Windows 8 machine, the path is C:\ProgramData\Muvizu\Favourites\

I didn't specifically choose that directory, so I assume it happened automatically.. which would suggest that other people's favourites may be found there too. (It may be peculiar to an operating system or OEM's schema )

For small transfers, however, I think adding them to a SET works pretty well, because you don't have to worry about separately saving and moving all of the attachments etc that were used to create the characters

I recently bought a 1 terabyte mini USB drive exactly for situations like this when I need to move a whole installation of something to another computer without missing anything. Such drives are cheap now. I was surprised.]]> Wed, 06 Jan 2016 17:30:33 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5404-moving-custom-characters-to-new-computer.aspx Message from blickfang Wed, 06 Jan 2016 15:36:23 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5404-moving-custom-characters-to-new-computer.aspx Message from theotherguy Wed, 06 Jan 2016 13:09:39 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5404-moving-custom-characters-to-new-computer.aspx Message from fazz68 Wed, 06 Jan 2016 04:16:14 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5404-moving-custom-characters-to-new-computer.aspx Message from theotherguy Wed, 06 Jan 2016 03:55:02 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5404-moving-custom-characters-to-new-computer.aspx Message from fazz68 Wed, 06 Jan 2016 03:45:56 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5404-moving-custom-characters-to-new-computer.aspx Message from theotherguy Wed, 06 Jan 2016 03:28:43 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5404-moving-custom-characters-to-new-computer.aspx Message from fazz68 theotherguy wrote:
I know that the custom characters come with the project file, but they don't show up in the library. Any idea how I would do that?


im not quite sure what that means? do you want them to show in your favourites? when i installed onto a new computer i had saved all the characters i had made onto a single set. then saved them in favourites on my new pc. plus its good to have the set as a backup if things go wrong somewhere down the line.]]> Wed, 06 Jan 2016 02:49:00 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5404-moving-custom-characters-to-new-computer.aspx Message from theotherguy Wed, 06 Jan 2016 02:38:10 GMT
