Title: Copy Paste from one sequence to another - How ?
Post by: ozaz on September 01, 2016, 04:50:12 AM

So how do you copy a row, or several rows, from one sequence to another?

Guessing have to have 2 copies of xLights running but it doesn't seem to let me copy/paste from one to the other?

Help would be appreciated.


PS. Tabs would be so awesome (yes I know that's a major programming job)

You have to use the keyboard shortcuts. Control C to copy.  Control V to paste.

What I see people run into is they say they can't paste because the menu item is greyed out. Well that's because the second copy of xLights has no idea you've done a copy in the first copy of xLights so it doesn't know there is data in the clipboard.  So you just need to fool it.  Do a dummy row copy in the version you want to paste into and then when you copy from the other version the paste option will be available in the menu of the other version.
