How to update existing project if cfg files have been modified

Someone asked me this question on github and I think anyone should benefit this answer

First, check if the option 'Save as custom defaults' appears when you right-click on a feature name in the master treeview.
If not, you are out of luck and must start over.

If it does, try this :

• un-check Autorefresh
• load your project
• right-click on a feature name you know has a new version
• select 'Save as custom defaults'
• load a newer version right before or after the old version
• all saved custom default values should be set to new feature
• verify if OK and do the changes needed
• right-click on the title again then select 'Delete custom defaults'
• delete the old version
• do this for all features that have new version in your project taking care that you do not delete an entire group that was not replaced
• when done re-check Autorefresh
• make final changes to make it do what you need
• when satisfied, save to replace the old project/li]

Hope this work for you

With Covid-19 forcing me to stay home, I spent most of my time on modify nativecam. It is under major rework. A few details here :

• it will not be dependant of any .ngc files. Code is generated in python module which makes it easier to maintain and debug
• .cfg files contain python code
• sorry, it can not be compatible with old files
• new setup options
• and more... but basically the same interface
