Annotations to the migration from v.1.x to v.2.x
Short story:
1. Keep Desktop-Reminder 1.x (Don't uninstall it yet)
2. Install Desktop-Reminder 2.x
3. Start Desktop-Reminder 2.x and import tasks.rem from Desktop-Reminder 1.x
4. Uninstall Desktop-Reminder 1.x
Long story:
Desktop-Reminder 2.x is installed parallel to Desktop-Reminder 1.x. Desktop-Reminder 1.x will not be automatically uninstalled. It is recommended to import existing tasks from Desktop-Reminder 1.x and afterwards to uninstall Desktop-Reminder 1.x (Menu START->Desktop-Reminder->Uninstall Desktop-Reminder). Tasks can be easily imported with the Import-Wizard during the first start of Desktop-Reminder 2.x.
If you haven't asked yet "Where is my task database stored?", you don't need to read this section further ;-)

- Database format and its default store place has been changed in the v.2.x. Old and new database format is not compatible, and it is impossible to share the same database by the old and the new program version. However Desktop-Reminder 2.x can import tasks from Desktop-Reminder 1.x.
- Desktop-Reminder 2.x can not automatically detect if its database was externally changed. If two or more instances of Desktop-Reminder 2.x share the same database file (i.e. in the local network), so each program instance has to manually actualize its task list by pressing the F5 key.
