How to retain library selections after transfer

Question

I backed up my library from my Win XP machine to 2 dual layer DVDs and exported my play list, but when I import onto my Win 7 machine every track is checked, how do I get it to pare things down to what I had checked before?
Thanks,
Art

Hi,
if you re-execute an iterator then indeed the first row is marked as selected. To retain the selected row, you need to get the rowKeyStr before performing the execute to then set this as the current. All of this can be done in a managed bean
1. Get current row key string in managed bean ((DCIteratorBinding)_bindings.get("Iterator Name")).getCurrentRowKeyString();
2. execute the query ((DCIteratorBinding)_bindings.get("Iterator Name")).execute();
3. set the key back: ((DCIteratorBinding)_bindings.get("Iterator Name")).setCurrentRowWithKey("key read before");
Using the ADF Controller this could be done declaratively, but I understand that in your usecase no navigation happens between
