If you still have problems after running the converter, then we may need to have a more interactive conversation to resolve it... in that case, pop into the GURPS Discord (there is a link on the main GCS site) and ask for me.

Glad someone asked this question because the solution spurred me to finally take care of this on all my devices.

Just did the upgrade from 4.11.1 to 4.25.1
OSs - Linux Mint 17 and 19.3 and 20.1
Installs of 4.25.1 went perfectly on all versions.

After the installs I ran the converter tool on my "custom" folders and all is working fine.

Thanks much for the converter. I use GCS as a stand alone tool for the most part, but have been looking at using a VTT which would require me to use the upgraded versions. Been sort of dreading the steps to upgrade and convert through the new install then upgrade again.
