Importing from ZionWorx
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ZionWorx (version 2.5/2.6) stores your songs in a proprietary database format
which OpenLP is unable to access directly. Thus you will first need to convert
it to a CSV text file, which OpenLP and other tools (such as spreadsheet applications) are able to access. This can be achieved via a free 3rd-party
utility called "TurboDB Data Exchange".
1. Locate your ZionWorx songs database. ZionWorx lets you define the location in
:guilabel:`File > Preferences`. The database folder will contain a collection
of files such as Data.tdbd and MainTable.dat
Default location on Windows XP::
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\ZionWorx\2.6\Data
Default location on Windows Vista / Windows 7::
C:\ProgramData\ZionWorx\2.6\Data
2. `Download TurboDB Data Exchange
<http://www.dataweb.de/en/support/downloads.html>`_ from dataWeb. The utility
will be downloaded as an archive file:
Windows::
tdbdataX.zip
Linux::
tdbdatax.tar.gz
3. Extract the single executable file contained in the archive file and copy it
into your ZionWorx database folder.
4. Open a command-line:
Windows:
1. Press the keyboard combination *Windows key + R* to open the
:guilabel:`Run` window.
2. Type ``cmd`` and click :guilabel:`OK`.
3. In the command prompt window that opens, type this command (replacing
``database-folder`` with your actual location) and press *Enter*::
cd "database-folder"
Linux:
Open a terminal and ``cd`` to your ZionWorx database folder.
5. Run this command at the command-line::
tdbdatax MainTable.dat songstable.csv -fsdf -s, -qd
You should see some feedback indicating success, such as::
Batch move has moved 1223 records.
Your ZionWorx songs database has now been converted to a CSV text file. Run the
Song Importer in OpenLP, select :guilabel:`ZionWorx (CSV)`, and locate the
``songstable.csv`` file you have just created.

After clicking :guilabel:`Next` your import will be complete. Then press :guilabel:`Finish` and OpenLP will be ready to use the songs that you have
imported from ZionWorx.
