This issue is caused by a case-sensitivity problem in the XML code of the configuration file.
Here is the complete list of properties that are incorrectly imported from a Watch 4.0 configuration file:
- Folder output filename (Filename vs FileName)
- Ftp input username (Username vs UserName)
- Splitter keyword (used in multiple splitter types) (Keyword vs KeyWord)
- Output printer page delimiter keyword (Keyword vs KeyWord)
- Ftp output filename and username (Filename vs filename, Username vs UserName)
- Ftp output service retry interval (Interval vs interval)
There are 3 workarounds to this problem.
1. Open each culprit task and click OK using PlanetPress Watch 4.1 or higher before importing it in 5.0.
2. Edit the XML code by hand to set the right tags. See above for the tag names. Please note that this is a serious undertaking as the parser is very picky on the syntax. Tinkering with it by hand may render the file unusable, so back it up before doing anything.
3. Wait for 5.0.1, which will fix this issue.
