This is, may well, not be possible.
However, it would
save staff & customers a lot of work & hassle if it can be done, I think.
So, I'll float the idea & ask:
Is there a 1 command, 'fire & forget' way to
Purge one's Directory Opus configuration of DEAR Opus whilst leaving the customer's personal changes & tweaks in place
--
IE. I actually found out about DirOpus through finding DEAROpus!
It's pitch is, basically, 'here is amazingly powerful tool but if you're an Average Joe you'll probably never use 70%+ of its high-end features. You might well get confused. So, I (DEAROpus guy) think I've made a more user friendly starting point with my DEAROpus packs of toolbars, icons, settings etc. Enjoy'
I, & doubtless many others, thought
"Yep, that sounds about what I need. At least until I master the basics"
Leo recently suggested I reset back to defaults. He was kind & complimentary about DEAROpus, saying it had many good things in it. However, having its defaults & not DirOpus' was causing confusion, making it harder for him to help me etc.
Problem is this - I installed DirOpus & DEAROPus config on the first day.
I spent the next 60 days tweaking the way various small things worked, as I came across them day-today, to how I wanted them.
So we have 3 configurations
A - DirOpus defaults
B - DEAROpus defaults
C - My modifications of DEAROpus
Can A, B, C be compared automatically to restore to DirOpus defaults everything DEAROpus changed but NOT what I personally changed.
Eg. If setting #12-405a is not the DirOpus default NOR the DEAROpus default leave it alone (the customer made that change and wants to keep it)
Meanwhile, if setting #05-102b is still the DEAROpus default it would be automatically reset to the DirOpus default.

It's an attempt to make solving problems easier on all of us but without losing everything customers have personalized.
Obviously, if a personally made change was later discovered to be causing a problem it could still be fixed & changed by the customer with guidance.
I am hoping this would just give Leo, Jon & ?
(sorry, I don't know the complete triad)
a much simpler picture to work with whilst not going back to bare bones defaults across the board & strip customers of all their changes in 1 go

Does that make sense?
Is what I'm proposing possible?
Is it a good idea or would it just create more havoc?
Honestly, I don't know but I thought I'd throw it out there.
Any good?
Thanks,
