Sorry. Dumb question and I don't know where else to ask. I have URC's Complete Control program. Used it to set up my MX-980. Nothing's really changed in over a year so haven't booted to windows to run it in quite a while.

Getting a new computer. Making sure I have ducks in rows and stuff. Installed CCP on a laptop and updated and just noticed at the far left of the toolbar, a button that says "Get from Remote" (or something close to that). I swear I never saw that button before and wondered why I couldn't download the remote's current configuration. So..... question (finally)

Is that button relatively new?
And does it do what I think and download the remote's configuration?

I have my current config saved to a file, but wondered about this and just had to ask and expose my stupidity :)

thanks

not new at all. extracting config from the remote has been a part of CCP since day 1

And the standalone editor before that.

Wow... no idea how I didn't see it before. I might have to play the "I'm old" card. I honestly don't remember seeing it.

ok.... well thanks, guys. :)

It can help you keep it straight if you think of things moving from big parts to little parts as downloading and from little parts to big parts as uploading. Thus you download to your computer from the internet, you download from your computer to the remote, you upload from the remote to the computer....


I think you mean upload (from the remote to the computer). I missed that at first, too, but it has indeed been there for a long long time.

I try to do that at least twice a week.....



But sometimes the headache card gets played.....

I don't like the download/upload naming convention.
On at least one remote platform this was backwards, but of cause I can't remember which one.
Why can't we use simple send/receive?
Oh, wait, I know; some dumb ass engineer figured that since we're working with a remote, we're really receiving program into remote instead of sending it from a computer. Yes, it's dumb, and yes, that's what they told me once.
