rlesperance Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Hello, How can I use the scripts and filters defined on my iMac G5 on my MacBook that I bring with me on the road ?? Can I just copy a file to use it on that other computer ??? Thanks in advance. Robert Lespérance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twickland Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Your scripts and filters are in the file Retro.Config, located in /Library/Preferences/Retrospect. Not sure whether this file differs at all between the G5 and the Intel hardware, but it's a simple matter to copy it over and see if it works.

j-beda Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Too bad I did not back this up on a system that just died a painful death... Anyhow, is there any simple way of making a copy of an existing script so that I can modify it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to Automate> Scripts and highlight the script you want to copy. Then go to "Scripts" on the main menu bar and select "Duplicate..." from the drop-down menu.

j-beda Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Ack - I should have been able to find that! How about a way to get a script from one installation of Retrospect to another installation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, there is no way to export a single script and import it into another installation. You can copy the entire Retro.Config file to the second machine, which will make all scripts and lists from the first installation available, at the cost of losing scripts and lists already in the second installation. This might, however, be the option of choice if the second installation has not been extensively customized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried that. Unfortunately, I was not able to change the license code from the first installation to the code for the second installation - the software does not want to make itself into a non-registered installation, and it also does not want to accept a second license code. I ended up just remaking the scripts by hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
