I installed Bitcoin v8 - What the heck is going on?

[wingding]

I downloaded the new version, copied the filed to a new dir and started it. Then it immediately seems to have copied all my old transactions, showing all my btc's from old wallet are on their way in. Whats going on?

Code:

-detachdb -datadir=D:\AFOLDERNAME\BLOCKCHAINDOWNLOADANDWALLETGOESHERE

It says 'reindexing blocks on disk'. So i believe it is just copying the alredy downloaded blockchain..?

Same thing here. Though I would appreciate they had documented these thing better. After all, its is your money that is beeing thrown around in a way.
