Terraria – Why can’t I import a world

terraria

I'm trying to move my world from my Linux install to my Windows install, and it's not working. I delete the "My Games/Terraria" folder from Windows, and copy over the one from Linux, but when I start up Terraria on Windows and load the world, it's still the old one. The one I deleted. I have no idea how this is happening.

Okay, I found the problem. At some point in the beta, the save location was moved from ~/My Games/Terraria to ~/.local/share/Terraria. I was still trying to copy from the My Games folder, not realizing those were old files.
