We have an app with a screen and menu system that we replicate over and over because all of to the functionality remains the same. All we change are icons and menu naming and urls. Is there a way to duplicate the screens and menus to avoid very tedious cutting and pasting from old menus to new ones. All the data entry for the buttons and standard graphics is very time consuming. If I could copy and then just change the few items I need to it would speed up my workflow ten fold.

Works with BTv1.5 and BTv2.0. Benefit: extremely easy to duplicate screens. (And apps) Disadvantage: A. lose benefit of Control Panels B. Must learn how to work with Config file.

Sounds like a simple duplicate screen or menu function within buzztouch would be far more helpful. I do appreciate your response however just not the direction I was hoping to go.

It isn't much fun to do it that way, but it gets the job done.
