I know how to copy profiles from one account to another but I haven't found a lua editor that allows me to collapse nodes so editing the file and scrolling through a large profile to reach the end of it takes a long time. If I could find a lua editor that can collapse the node at the start of the profile then I can just highlight the whole node very easily. And optionally is there a way to accomplish moving a saved profile to another account using macaroon?
Why isnt copying the profiles not working for yeh? What editor are yeh using?
If its a matter make changes often then copying being a pain make a batch file to copy it for yeh?
I'm right with ya. I was pasting a new shaman profile into three different files last night and was cursing my relative lack of skills. One should be able to write something in a language of one's choice to parse profiles together en masse. I know a bit of a few different scripting languages and it's a little out of my range on all fronts. What would be cool is a program that will scan all your MacaroonProfiles and dump each unique profile into a depot in list form, from which you can drag-drop together a new profile, to be copied to a toon's WTF as appropriate.
Dunno on the lua editor problem, but I hope one pops up in this thread, 'cause that'd work too.
My only problem copying profiles is it's just a huge hassle scrolling all the way through the lua file to get to the end of the profile you want to copy. I talked to the Macaroon auther in pm and he recomended pspad and I checked it out and you can move your curser into a profile in the file and right click and "select inside brackets" and select the whole profile minus the outer bracket. Copy that and the root level of the profile and you are good to go! This saves me a lot of time and effort copying profiles between accounts.Quote:

EDIT: I misunderstood what you said. I cant just copy the .lua files between accounts because I have different profiles for a lot of different accounts, so simply copying over an accounts profile will overwrite layouts that may not be in the originating .lua file. One solution would be to simply copy every profile into one .lua file and then I can do what you suggest. Thats a project for another day though. =8v)Quote:

I use WinMerge to diff out profiles/macro files and merge them if needed
That's an even better idea, I didn't even think about merge tools. Thanks!Quote:

I have used notepad++ for things like this in the past. The WinMerge tool looks like a great solution for this problem.
