Last but not least, always make a backup of your SavedVariables folder before modifying data inside it! This addon won't corrupt your data, but you can "accidentally" select a wrong character to copy or delete, although the addon always asks for confirmation.
- Move addon settings from one character to another.
- Fix saved variables after renaming your account.
- Remove unneeded data from saved variables.
First and foremost, always make a backup of your SavedVariables folder before modifying data inside it! This addon won't corrupt your data, but you can "accidentally" select a wrong character to copy or delete, although the addon always asks for confirmation.
Addon limitations:
- It only works with saved variables created by "standard" means (ZO_SavedVars functions). Don't request adding support for anything else that is missing in the loaded saved variables list.
- It doesn't support different profiles and reads data only from the Default one. It shouldn't be a problem, since most addons that use ZO_SavedVars don't create additional profiles.
- It only works with currently loaded addons and their variables. If you want to rename an account in all addons you have, then all of them must be enabled.
- If you have characters with the same name on EU and NA servers, the addon will prefix them accordingly, but only after logging into both servers and only if saved variables store character ids instead of their names (which can be changed unlike ids).
Some instructions:
- To copy addon settings from character A to character B, first select Saved Variables. They have different names than addons, but usually it's obvious which addon they belong to. Then select source and target account and characters. Yes, you can move settings between accounts and even servers. Finally, click "Copy character data" to copy source character's settings into target character.
- To rename an account you just need to type your old and new account names and click "Rename old account" at the bottom of the addon's settings.
- It's possible to "import" your friend's settings, but it's more tricky. You need to replace your file with saved variables for an addon with another one and then do account rename and character copy.
- Don't try to manually modify files with saved variables when the game is open or they will just get changed back after reload ui. Only do such changes with game closed. It applies to restoring your settings from a backup too.
