  • Note: The Export mechanism tries to detect if the script is a file. If it is, it'll automatically include the contents of the file. Otherwise it'll require any used files to be available on the other system. If in doubt, use the new file picker to select a script file - this will work with the new export mechanism.
  • The old Import/Export mechanism is still available for backups of your configured TextBar Items, but this does not include any file contents. It is intended for personal backups only.
