Are you using latest version ? CTRL + S is already supported, and never noticed any issue with save as

Very sorry, I meant SZS 🤦‍♀️

The problem is that every time i go to save the szs it takes 30 seconds, because i have to Save As every time, the problem with that is that when you are creating a layout it might sometimes take 10 tries to move one thing into the right place, so 30 x 10 = 5 minutes lost

I tend to not include save overwrite for szs cause it may end up overwriting the original base files by mistake. Guess can add it for the next update. FYI the save file dialog should keep the previous location memorized so you should be just able to press ctrl+s and then enter twice, once to confirm and once to overwrite.

I know about the location saving, but the problem is the way my workflow goes is: "Save Bflyt, Save SZS, Create Diff using old file (stored in another directory), Create NXTheme", the problem happens when i go to do that again after a layout change, since the directory that is now saved is the original szs file, i have to manually navigate to the modified SZS file. But thx anyways! 😉

Oh don't do that, you're supposed to diff only for distribution, you can install the szs directly with the remote install feature of the theme installer

open a cmd window and type SwitchThemes.exe install 192.168.X.Y "<path to your szs>" . Every time you want to test an szs, save it then go to remote install in the theme installer, press enter in the cmd and you're done.

oh yeah i forgot about that method... cuz ik it has a method for that, but the diff also allows for quick easy changes, so idk... but thx anyways

can i do SwitchThemes.exe install IP "<path to szs>" "<path to common>" or something like that

LexNastin avatar Apr 29 '20 10:04 LexNastin

or do i just do SwitchThemes.exe install IP "<path to szs>" && SwitchThemes.exe install IP "<path to common>"?

Edit: Nvm this method won't work because the switch will be restarting at the time that the second part of the command is ran

Edit Edit: Oh it turns out I only need to inject the common.szs when i've edited it, not every time 😂
