Will, no. When ARC was released, the migratory was automatic and moved settings and renamed folders from ezbuilder to arc. After almost 2 years, it’s just useless code occupying resources.

@DJ and WIll, when I saw this it also raised my eyebrows. I thought the same as Will. The Control import tool is one of the best features you guys came up with. Thanks foe asking Will!

@DJ, thanks for keeping ARC working properly! It looks like lots of work.
