HouseBot

My fault. The extension should have been HBX, not ZIP as Dave pointed out.

Rename the ZIP file to PC_Info.hbx and put it in the Export directory. Then stop and restart HouseBot and it should get imported.

That's pretty much all dragging and dropping does for you. Except put it in the Import directory, not the Export.

Thanks for that tip. After staring at the raw internals of an HBX file I realized I was looking at a compressed file (first two characters are "PK"). I was about to zip the ConfigExport.xml when you replied. I now realize there is no need to unzip the original file but simply to rename it from .zip to .hbx.

So HBX Export files are simply ZIP files containing XML, VBS, and probably other things I haven't seen yet. Very slick.

Import/Export - what's the difference!

Yup, it's all relative to where you're standing.

With my newfound knowledge (thank you gents), I've tuned Windows Explorer to treat HBX files as ZIP files (folders, whatever) and can now open and explore them conveniently. Lots of interesting stuff in them; lots to learn.

Or just create one Startup task which executes other tasks that should be started at startup. My Startup task executes three other tasks that should be started at startup.

idea: maybe for the wishlist. Make a Group in Housebot called startup and let all tasks in that group me started at startup. This Solves: startup, Startup, STartup,.....,STARTUP.

That's a great idea Richard!
