Change computer

[prik m]

While waiting for the delivery of the pieces for a new PC (let's call it PC A) I setup an account temporarily using another PC (let's call it PC and created a few triggers.

Now the PC A is up and running: can I swap PC without loosing the triggers I have already created?
If yes, how?
Thanks.

@prik-m, to transfer your commands to the other computer, you have to copy your commands.json file over to it. That's where they're defined. It's in c:\Users\(your user)\.TRIGGERcmdData. You could also use the Text Command Editor to edit commands.json and just copy/paste the text.

@Russ Does this keep the same URLs for triggering? If not, is that possible?

For instance, I have a few people with OBS configurations that send triggers to a specific PC. If the PC had to be replaced it would be ideal to use the same bookmark URLs on the new device.

@Smart-Communities, if you give the new device the same computer name, the short bookmarks should still work. They specify a computer name and trigger name.

Normal bookmarks specify the trigger ID so those stop working if you even change certain fields in the trigger, like the name because that deletes and recreates the trigger with a new ID.

@Russ so the short URLs act as a redirect. Thanks Russ.
