MX's [[Cumulus.ini]] has different content to the legacy [[Cumulus.ini_(Cumulus_1)|'''cumulus.ini''']]. From release 3.12.0,many more new settings were added, more settings were removed, and some parameters in the file were renamed. The first cross reference, in listing all the parameters, makes it clear which settings were introduced in the legacy software, and which MX release added new settings, this should help you to grasp how many new settings exist! | MX's [[Cumulus.ini]] has different content to the legacy [[Cumulus.ini_(Cumulus_1)|'''cumulus.ini''']].

'''The [[MX_Administrative_Interface#Changing_Settings|settings pages]] in MX, work differently to the [[Cumulus_Screenshots#Configuration_Menu_Screens|settings screens]] in Cumulus 1. You need to click ''Save'' and (in many cases) stop and restart MX before changed settings take effect.''' | |||
Consequently, if you are migrating from the legacy software to MX now, it is best to rename your old '''cumulus.ini'' file so it is is not seen by MX. Let MX create a new configuration file with just the parameters it needs using the various [MX_Administrative_Interface#Changing_Settings|settings pages in the admin interface]]. That will ensure you don't get muddled by parameters used for Cumulus 1 (but not for MX); and you do have all the parameters you do need, set correctly. | Consequently, if you are migrating from the legacy software to MX now, it is best to rename your old '''cumulus.ini'' file so it is is not seen by MX.
