Hi, I have a TSU9800 and a 9400 on the way. What is the easiest way to convert my existing tsu9800 config to use on 9400? I have tried changing the type and it resizes all of the pages but loses most of my buttons so I can't even resize them to fit. Is there an easy way I'm missing?

There's really no easy way as you are basically moving from a landscape 640x480 to a portrait 240x320 screen (1/4 the real estate and it is rotated 90 degrees)

I might suggest putting a 240x320 panel on the screen and send to background as a guide for where you are putting things once you resize them.

Once you are done resizing and dealing with the layout, only then should you change the project type to TSU9400.

Thanks, I've just made a new config and copied and pasted what I could. For some reason it didn't carry over any IR codes or macros so I had to rebuild the macros and re import the components. I can't see how this would have been time efficient for a custom installer. I love the configurability of these remotes but programming them was always a chore that took at least a day or more to do.

PEP3 allowed for multiple XCF files in a single mxcf which allowed you to copy/paste between them. PEP3 made it into BETA but still has some memory leaks, etc. Some use it but I prefer using PEP2.

On a side note. If you have an Activity with pages/buttons that do not use Reusable Macros, you can right click on the activity and Save to Gallery. Then, in the new configuration, you can load from the Gallery. However, since you are moving from Landscape to Portrait, not sure how much use this would be.
