Comparing tunes...

Post by dragbug »

Is there a way of selecting what changes we want to incorporate when comparing different tunes? Importing/exporting tables is easy enough but the vast amount of other setting can get complicated when trying to jump back and forth or even trying to write them down. Or is there another way to easily compare and change specific settings?

Each Dialog has a File Menu with"
"Save Dialog Settings"
"Load Dialog Settings"

Save Dialog Settings creates an .msqpart file that will contain only the settings in that dialog. So you can load them at any time in the future to just change that.

Or I prefer the Load Dialog Settings.
With that you can either load an msq part like created above, or load any msq from a past. Only the settings in the dialog you are working with will be loaded even if it is a full msq.

Well....that is easier then writing them down. Any chance in the future that we can select the changes we want while comparing? The load and save dialog works but you still have to compare, figure out what you want to change, close without making changes, find the dialog settings in the tune you want the settings from and save that dialog then open your real tune and.....well you know. Just hoping for something less chaotic.

EDIT: Just re-read your post and sounds like the load option you mentioned would be easier still but in the end, still makes comparing the settings difficult since I can't easily see the differences while making the changes. Something you can select while comparing would be a lot easier. I am sure it is a coding headache but boy would it be helpful :)

Being able to select specific settings from a difference report is on the todo list. Hopefully for the 3.0 release.

Is there a way to show more differences than the default? Often there are many more differences that are not displayed.

Nope, but that is coming as well.
