Load common settings from file

I build a new home screen from scratch every few weeks, but they all have the same app “buttons” (app shortcuts, made up of background shapes; a button-specific fonticon; button-specific label; button-specific touch actions)

Can we have a way to specify “button” settings in XML, and load them?

<Buttons>
<Button>
<Label>Chrome</Label>
<IconLibrary>Remix_v2</IconLibrary>
<IconImage>Life-lightbulb-flash-line-</IconImage>
<TouchType>Launch App</TouchType>
<TouchAction>Chrome</TouchAction>
</Button>
</Buttons>

At the moment you cannot set the fonticon library, nor the touch actions from a formula. Maybe that’s step 1?

You can add a Komponent, then export and import Komponents to create reusable bits of presets.

Ah. I’ve done that before (copying Overlap Groups between Presets), I’m just an idiot.
The same would work for me here.

But are you saying you can easily export/import PARTS of a preset? rather than Load Preset, copy group, load new preset, paste.

Yes, click the + button, select Komponent, then you will be prompted to either load an existing Komponent or create a new one. They work like mini presets inside a preset, they even have their own globals.

Ah, I’ll have a look for those.
Thank you - that’s really helpful.
