Instrument lists

[alexstox]

Hello. There are some lists with lots of instruments. How can I edit these lists via copying one to other, saving one with other name? It's really hard to do these changes manually after division one list to several or editing one of them in Tools-Instrument manager. Because there is only one opportunity - do the same in new list. But if I have 2 lists with 100 instruments and try to divide them...

Hello alexstox,

Unfortunately the Instrument Manager does not allow you to merge instruments lists or to copy multiple instruments from one list to another. You will need to remove or add instruments one by one.

Can you add this feature in next releases?

I will forward the suggestion to merge/divide instrument lists and the ability to add/remove multiple instruments at once. Thank you for your feedback.

The suggestion has been added to the list of possible future enhancements and is assigned to ID# 2296.

Use "Export to Excel" as a bridge to export the list, then massage the data using NotePad as an intermediary, then import/merge the data, (now a simple list), into a new/another list.

Thank you, but it will be better without so much operations =)))

Of course! That is just a cumbersome workaround to what should have been there. It is still waaaaay better than typing the symbols all in one at a time though.
