This is another configuration file. If you have not created a [[Strings.ini|strings.ini]] file in your (leagacy) Cumulus top level folder, then you have no file to move to your MX installation, and you should skip the rest of this sub-section.
The contents of the [[Samplestring.ini|samplestring.ini]] file you get in your MX release distribution varies depending on the release you have downloaded. Check your existing '''strings.ini''' file against the ''samplestring.ini'' file in the MX distribution you have. If the attribute names (left hand side of the equals sign) match for the parameters you selected to include in your '''strings.ini''', then you can reuse your existing file. If your file includes attributes that are no longer in the MX ''samplesting.ini'' file, then you will need to edit your '''strings.ini''' file that is placed in the folder containing CumulusMX.exe.
Please remember that the Microsoft Windows Operating System is case insensitive for file names, if you install MX on a Windows PC, then "Strings.ini", "STRINGS.INI", and "strings.ini" are all treated as the same file by MX. If you install MX on another operating system, then the file system is case sensitive, in this case MX will only recognise "strings.ini".
*Note that files created in Microsoft's Windows Operating System use two characters (carriage return and line feed) to end each line, while all other operating systems use a single character (line feed in most Unix derived systems like all Linux variants including Raspberry Pi Operating System). Apple Mac are again different in using just Carriage Return.
*This should not cause any problems for your "strings.ini" file as MX does not care if there appear to be some extra blank lines (because the carriage return may be treated as end one line and the line feed as ending a separate blank line on non-Windows devices).
