How do we backup our actions?

Sometimes I'm worried that I'll lose them.

Hi Bazza. AlomWare Toolbox is portable, so you can just zip its folder to back everything up for the app.

But if you want to back up specific single actions, you can right-click them and select "Save as" from the menu. They're just plain text files. To restore them later, just open the saved text files, copy the text, and paste them into an action's Step list box.

Can you make it so we can select a bunch of actions, right click, and save them into a zip file or something? Then import them back by right clicking the action list and importing from the zip file. That would be a lot better.

Sounds good. Leave it with me.

To add to this -- my early actions were made in the functional group it seemed like they belonged in, alongside all the examples that get made by the "add default actions" and the ones that are already there.

Which made sense to me but I kept forgetting where I'd put them, for some reason. It's me age, I expect.

So I've now moved everything I've made and some of the existing ones I've modified extensively into a single group ("My Useful Stuff!") and it occurs to me that the ability to back up a whole group off a right-click would also be a Useful Thing.
