C Martin Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Can we get the ability to import and/or export variables? Since I'm asking, also the ability to import and/or export only selected variables and the ability to merge selected variables during importing. Clarence Link to comment
apostolakisl Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Maybe a good way to handle this is when a program is imported that includes variables, a menu pops up asking you to remap the variables. This has been an issue for the majority of people I have sent my day/week/month/etc programs. There are a lot of variables in there and many come up multiple times. If the person has already used variables then they have to remap them. If during a program import a screen popped up for each id location referenced in the program, showed the current name for that ID location and gave you the option to keep it, or repoint the program to a new location and simultaneously name that variable, that would be slick. Of course, it should then repoint every additional instance of that same variable to the new location as well. Link to comment
C Martin Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 Part of this actually happens when you restore from a backup. Variables are included they are in separate files in the backup folder. Michel, are these XML files? Clarence Link to comment
Michel Kohanim Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Hi all, All files are in XML and stored in the backup. Clarence, your request is noted but I must confess that it has a very low priority. With kind regards, Michel Link to comment
apostolakisl Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Michel, Can you seprate only the xml files for variables and restore them only? It would be nice for when I send my program to people if I could include the variables for them. Many of the folks I have sent this to have no variables set to start with, so they could just overwrite the current file and they would lose nothing. Link to comment
Michel Kohanim Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Hi apostolakisl, Yes, it would be possible. The only problem is time, missing buffers, and ELK! With kind regards, Michel Link to comment
C Martin Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 Michel, I appreciate all that you do. I agree there are higher priorities out there. I mention these things as they come up when I do things. Clarence Link to comment
apostolakisl Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Hi apostolakisl, Yes, it would be possible. The only problem is time, missing buffers, and ELK! With kind regards, Michel I was using the word "you" in the plural everyone and anyone sense. I hear you saying that "you" being UD firmware developers could do it, but not "you" everyone else.
