Missing global variables after update to version 8

Hey everyone,

Just for my curiosity: After updating Robotask to version 8, it seems we've lost a lot of global user variables. Even funnier: all variables starting with "M" onwards were gone. Anyone else facing this issue?
My list of variables stopped after the letter "L" (in this screenshot, some variables with the M are added manually by me again but these weren't there)

All these variables are not shown as it should be, and there are a lot more!

I'm scared, really!

The default registry key has been changed in version 8.0
The old key for global variables:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Neowise\RoboTask\User variables
New key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\TaskAutomation\RoboTask\User variables

You can export values to the file (use 9.x NT4 format)
change Neowise to TaskAutomation in Notepad and import it again

Yupz, this was the information I needed. It works now.

This didn't work however. Leave it on NT5 did the trick.
