I wanted to see what my control bar looked like in Mercury, so set about seeing how easy this was from theme editor. I'm exporting/importing the control bar and the sub folders within theme editor.
 
Firstly I can't see a method of exporting a folder. So I created a folder called 'Retro HiFi Mercury' a folder with 'Control bar' and then all the folders within this. Exporting the contents of the folder was easy. Select all the PNGs and colour files, right click one, select export and export all of them. Done.
 
Importing was more tricky and laborious.
You can't select all the icon in a folder within Theme Editor, right click and use import to them select all the files in the Windows folder. It prevents you from choosing more than one.
It always wants to import from C:\Cakewalk Content\SONAR Themes\Theme Editor Toolkit, reverting back to this with each import.
 
So my method become;
In windows copy the content of the folder I am working on to 'C:\Cakewalk Content\SONAR Themes\Theme Editor Toolkit', import these one by one, then delete the contents of the folder and repeat for the next. I found that I had to close Theme ediitor before windows would allow me to delete the contents of C:\Cakewalk Content\SONAR Themes\Theme Editor Toolkit, as it still links to them, despite having imported them.
 
Theme Editor prevents you from importing the wrong size image, but with many buttons being the same and with similar and long names,  I imported a wrong image a couple of times along the way
 
I think Importing should be easier. If the file names are identical, having been created by theme editor in export, I think theme editor should be able to allow you to select the icons you want to import, select the folder, and match those file names.
 
Are there any work around here, anything I'm missing.
 
 
 
 
 
 

If there's a workaround for easier imports, I sure haven't found it. However I didn't realize you could export multiple items, so thanks for that.
 
Your suggestion for importing would work. I wonder about the feasibility of someday adding drag-and-drop directly from a folder to the Theme Editor; seems that would be handy as well.
 
For now, what I do is copy from one Theme Editor and paste into another Theme Editor rather than import/export. I haven't compared to find out which would be faster.

Ah yeah, that's cool. Didn't know that one

So you can have several instances of TE open at the same time?

Yeah, it's so simple, that sometimes you do it unintentionally. They can be for the same theme or different themes.
