Re: What is the fastest way to find all files associated with particular application?

For non-user-created documents (preferences, etc), you already know 
where they are. No search needed. For user-created documents, you may 
as well simply trigger an automatic "import" upon opening documents 
created with the previous version. (That way, the user isn't forced 
to wait while everything is done even if he or she doesn't want it 
done all at once. And you never know, perhaps the user *doesn't* want 
all of that data changed automatically, for whatever reason. 
Automatic data migration is something not to consider lightly.)
