Copying Custom Toolbars Between Profiles

  • Copying Custom Toolbars Between Profiles

    Posted by Vince on July 2, 2024 at 5:06 am

    I’ve just started playing with scripts for automating a few operations and am putting them in a new toolbar called “Scripts”.

    My problem is that I want to use this toolbar in virtually all of my profiles but can’t see a way of just copying the toolbar along with its contents and then pasting into a new profile.

    Is this possible?

    If you copy a profile to create the new one, does the toolbar not stay?

      I’m trying to copy the toolbar to custom profile that I’ve already set up.

        that I don’t think you can do.

          Shame! Copy and paste it is then.

    Could you put the script tools into a Tool Chest and then make that Tool Chest “Visible In All Profiles”?

      You beat me to it @David Cutler

      If you go to modify the toolset, you should be able to check the box to make visible in all profiles. Fingers crossed!

        @David Cutler and @troy-degroot I’m actually looking at the toolbars not toolsets.

          Understood @Vince – I might not have worded my suggestion well – could the script tools be added to a tool chest instead of a tool bar?

            Do a search on your computer for .btx

            This is the file format for toolbars. You should be able to load it into other profiles if you can find it.

              I think these are toolchests instead of toolbars

    I would maybe start with the original profile as a base and import the other items you need, export as the new. Depending on how many toolbars you have it could save you a bit.

      I believe the term is “ToolStrip” in the XML file. The way to analyze this is to Revu > Preferences > Admin > Backup your entire configuration into a Zip file and find the bpx files to analyze the XML and see what you want to copy from there between different bpx files.

      Most of the bpx files aren’t encoded, but if they are (meaning you see areas starting with “789c”), then see the “Tips” section for a way to decode these XML tags.
