Move data between projects

If you need to move data between CCPN data model projects (e.g. created with analysis or FormatConverter) there are a number of possibilities.

Simple route - copy & delete stuff

If you are simply moving on from an existing project and need just some of the data to be retained, probably the simplest thing to do is to use analysis's simple save as function to create a copy of the project with a different name. To avoid confusion you should then close the project and edit the <project>.xml file to change the project name (find the line that starts <Project _ID= and edit the name=<project> field). Then delete the spectra, chains, etc. you no longer need.

More sophisticated - DataShifter

For more sophisticated shifting of data between projects use the DataShifter.py script.  See the documentation on your local system (such as it is) file://<CCPNMR_TOP_DIR>/ccpnmr1.0/python/ccpnmr/format/doc/DataShifter.html and give it a go:

python <CCPNMR_TOP_DIR>/ccpnmr1.0/python/ccpnmr/format/gui/DataShifter.py

Discreet items - formatConverter & external formats

For limited amounts of data to be transfered between projects it may be simpler to use formatConverter and go via an external format. Wim (who wrote FormatConverter) recommends NmrView format for most cases - check the mailing list archives for tips.
