Transferring notes and highlighting from Logos 3 to 4.5 - any problems?

Has anyone attempted transferring highlighting or notes from 3.0 to
4.5? How did it go?

I have delayed importing my notes and highlighting from Logos 3 to 4 because my notes got messed up back when there was the major 3.0 upgrade (version e or f, I can't remember back that far). Logos implemented a "fix" at that time, but the fix took away my highlighting and I was so disappointed I never went through and corrected all my notes.

So now that 3.0 is slated not to be supported, and now that there has been a major update to the highlighting and notes functionality of 4, I guess it's time to integrate my 3.0 notes with my 4.5 notes! I don't want to go through the trouble of fixing my notes in 3.0
and then having to fix them again in 4.5...

Clay, have you considered the current thread:

Home>Logos 4 Windows>Import Logos 3 notes to Logos 4

It details the tribulations I am currently having, and might give you some tips of things to check.

Not as of yet. I had to delete all of my L4 notes because of the long start-up time for 4.5. I am waiting for the next Beta that comes out because I was told that the next Beta fixes the problem that I am having with my notes. (see http://community.logos.com/forums/t/42231.aspx)

There are some problems with Sync'ing Highlighting in v4.5 which should not affect you BUT:

we don't know if importing from Libronix may be affected or even if it works properly
the notes first have to be updated in Libronix as per http://wiki.logos.com/Importing_Notes_from_LDLS3

Consequently,

wait until highlighting issues are confirmed as fixed by 4.5 SR-2 (check back on this)
import highlights (Import Highlighting command) first and check what Notes files have been created (see Release Notes for 4.5 about this)
import notes (Import Notes command) and check them
import anything else from Libronix that you want

Could you confirm

you have been using Logos 4 and can update to 4.5 SR-2 OK (the latest fix version)
you have NO notes and highlights in Logos 4
whether you have extensive highlighting or Notes in L3 (in the thousands for either) as this may affect what I said above

L4 crashed when I tried to import a few simple highlights both in 4.5 SR-2 and the new beta 4.5a --> http://community.logos.com/forums/t/44452.aspx
