I've recently tried to make some custom skins.
I've come across a point that I've to edit almost every txmt of a custom skin in order to add or replace several lines.  So, I've to add or replace those lines in for 39-40 times for all txmt in just a custom skin...

I wonder if it's good to have platform where people can check (also, "select all/none (whichever type of) files", "select all files") those txmt files or else to aler the contents at once...
Then, they can add or replace the properties at once through their input.
This way, one can skip 40x of adding/replacing.
In addition, an opposite process for removing property lines by enetering whichever protperty lines for a series of txmt files or else..

I know these aren't essential  to make more modding happen, but just to increase certain sorts of production efficiencies.


If this already existed... I'm sorry for being careless not by being able to noticing that.

Thanks in advance.

Keep up the great works...:)

I know the problem. If I do accessory, I have to alter quite some package-intern files all with the same parameters. That is a boresome and dumb work.

I coded a script in AutoHotkey that moved my mouse and did clicks and text-inputs automatically, alas, as it depends heavily on screen resolution and the layout of simPE I fear that it is not universally usable. If it wre, I would have already released it to the public.

It would be nice to have some kind of macro-recorder in SimPE, but that is a low priority, as the furthermost task of the package editor is to edit packages... :o)

It would, of course, be very nice if I could do identic changes to a list of selected files instead, but I'm not sure how easy this can be accomplished.
