Hi,
I have installed the new 8.5 client. Does anyone know how I can get my database icons from my old Notes 7 workspace in the 8.5 client’s workspace?
Any help is appreciated.

Subject: Did you backup the desktop.ndk?
If you saved a copy of your desktop.ndk all you need to do is make sure that it is in the data directory of your R8.5 install.
Cheers
Subject: the desktop file for 8.5 has a new name
The desktop file format has been upgraded in 8.5 and is now called desktop8.ndk. The desktop in 6/7/8 was desktop6.ndk. If you upgrade directly from 6/7/8 to 8.5, the desktop will be upgraded automatically. If you’ve installed 8.5 as a new setup, you can delete the existing desktop8.ndk and copy your old desktop6.ndk to the data folder and it will get upgraded for you (and preserve the desktop icons). Just make sure Notes is not running while you delete or copy desktop files.

We have noticed that Symantec Antivirus effects the upgrade of this file. If you are having issue stop the service and set it to manual and see if this works.
Also add the following to the client notes.ini
desktop=\desktop6.ndk (you might need desktop6= but not confirmed).
