For some reason I had to drag over the UI3 folder and the UI3.htm file to get that working in the new install directory. Anyone else have that issue? Otherwise, the directions from this thread worked perfectly. Thanks!
 
I created an Blue Iris Help Chatbot using the current Blue Iris help pdf file. The link to the Chatbot is below, let me know what you think of it, is it helpful.

Cool. Just completed a smooth Ver.6 upgrade. I queried your chatbot for some info...worked great.
I did have my current extended maint. license on hand but didn't need it.
I did Export my ver. 5 config but it wasn't needed.
I did have a dead end loop on the reboot about the Microsoft Visual C+ V14 or whatever, 2nd time it wanted a reboot to continue I hit cancel and installation proceeded. It shows up in Programs as an installed program.
Finding my Admin Password for the PC was kind of like Cobwebs in an attic...I did find that though. ( been using the Login Pin code so long)
Appears to have loaded up everything normally.
Whoo hoo :)

yeah after going through a few installs, do not restart the computer until the BI install has completely finished. The MS Visual install tries to make you reboot the computer before BI is done....that needs to be fixed. Not a huge issue but will confuse many.

I use the software update built into Blue Iris. Is version 6 going to be listed as a critical or highly stable update in the future for automatic update?
My guess is that you will need to do a full install, based upon what I have read! It uses a different install path, I have done the separate install of the new BI 6 Beta and it went very well, but it is still listed as 5.9.9.99 which is essentially still a beta, if you are nervous about the process I would suggest that you should wait for the official 6.0 release install file!
 
I've tried a number of things with the chatbot and it's been pretty good. Does anyone know (the chatbot doesn't) if we can still zoom all the images in the side panel (make ALL the images larger or smaller) in version 6? In version 5, there was a box to specifically do so.

If you mean the clips list, yes, CTL + scroll the mouse will change the size of the thumbnails.. Ken changed it, but the info hasn't made it to the help file (yet) I think. I also asked about making the clips list less wide, but that's a wish list item.
