Genie Rename

Hi Mike,

As far as I know, the only real way of achieving this is to save the current genie as the new name, then delete the old one, then do pack libraries then update pages.  When it comes to the renamed genie during the updates for the first time you will get an opportunity to point it to the new genie.  Just make sure you say “yes to all”.  It is also a good idea to do them in large batches as the update process can be quite time consuming.

sorry about that. :/

Assume I have to separately modify the associated genie form file entries:

FORM "Pump_East", "Genie - Pump";

(ie they are not generated when you save the genie with a new name)?

Yes, they will need to be modified accordingly.

Have you ever come across a set of cheat sheets or something that has the steps required for things like this (eg "rename a Genie" steps)?
Citect seems to require a fair bit of "expert" knowledge relating to how all the elements are stuck together under the hood in order to not get yourself in knots.  Things don't seem to work as objects - more like collections of loosely integrated parts - and hopefully the compile process tells you that you have been inconsistent...

Nothing along those lines that I am aware of, sorry.

Any idea how to delete a graphic library?  Deleted everything that was in it - but can't find a library delete option from Studio or GB...
Also - a tip.  Don't save pages with a leading underscore from GB.  It let's you and then after creating a whole bunch of them I compiled and realised that it is not allowed 

(another use for proper renaming option...)

1. Delete the CTM file in the project folder

2. The more you know.  Interesting error message though:

     1 ERROR CalculatedVariables Page name cannot start with underscore (E2047) _test

what's it got to do with calculated variables I wonder?

Yeah weird.

Thanks for the feedback.
