### G4 Project Conversion

A separate utility application, G4Utility™, has been provided to convert G4 panel projects to the new G5 format. This utility can be accessed via the Tools menu.

- G4 Projects will be limited to Modero X and S series panel-types
- Button page-flips will be migrated to the Release event on the button
- String outputs will be migrated to the Release event on the button
- Command outputs will be migrated to the Release event on the button
- Any utilized slots on states will be converted to a second bitmap
- Unsupported button-types (TakeNote, Computer Control, Joystick, List-Box) will be removed
- Unsupported borders will be removed
- Text Effects: Outline effects are not supported in G5
- Text Effects: All Drop Shadow w/ Outline effects will be converted to their standard counterparts

###

### TP5 Project File Size

Because of implementation differences between the G5 project format and G4 project format, users will likely notice a significant variation in size between their TP4 and TP5 projects.

This is mainly a result of compression algorithms no longer being utilized within G5 projects due to project-format changes.

There should be abundant disk space on Modero-X G5 panels to contain the panel project, but users should be aware that their TP5 projects will be significantly larger on disk than their G4 projects were.

###

### Font Replacement

TPDesign5 will check for projects which may be using an older version of AMX Bold (amxbold.ttf) and replace it with the updated version (amxbold_.ttf).

The descrepancy between the two versions would cause some projects using the older version to render incorrectly either in TPDesign5 or on the touch panel, or both.

TPDesign5 will notify the user when the project is opened that the substitution has taken place and that they should save their projects afterward.

Also, G4Utility v1.1 will perform the substitution as part of the conversion process.
