Snapshot Variables Table

It would be a useful new feature to create a snapshot of the variables table and to import it at a future time. This issue needs discussion to define it well and I will get the definition written up and added to a github issue when we have some agreement

Feel free to invite anyone to this topic who may have something to contribute to the definition of how this should work

This was always intended, it is an essential feature.

  1. Saved to a folder with a filename
  2. Imported into other patterns
  3. Set as default in pattern preferences
  4. Selected in addition to other varariables files in a pattern (multiple variables files allowed in a pattern file)

Do you have an idea when the import function will be ready? For the moment I copied those informations via texteditor in new patterns, which works, but is not so elegant :wink:

I have a blank pattern file in Templates with only the Variables in it. When I start a new pattern, I open it, save it to a new name & location, & create the new pattern in the new file.
