ETS Project import

[alb-smith]

I believe it would be very useful in the ETS project (.knxproj) import procedure to have an option that allows you to update the description for existing objects already imported into LM5 previously.
This allows you to keep information aligned without requiring manual changes.

in ets you can change datatype of group adress, automatic update of objects could crush your scripts, which uses this address. or make incorrect result.

if you know that all your modifyed addresse in 1/4/0-1/4/254, you can filterobjects in object tab by "1/4/*" expression, then press "Mass delete", Then press "delete objects from current filter", and finily import new preject/

don't forget, this will delete TAGs

Thanks AEK, we know this option but we expenrienced bad things with a unconditional "mass delete" .... (loose of link in graphical pages, scripts, etc.)
We thought about a simple "option" to update the object description.

Same situation here. Mass deleting is a mess when you have lots of tags...

[chasler]

Same here too. Mass delete and import back isn't an option.

Also, during the mass delete and import action, if there is any KNX telegram receive by LM, the address will be create without any description.

Simplest and best solution is to have an option to "overrride" names during project import.

Thanks

To prevent new groups from appearing you can disable "Discover new objects" in Utilities > General configuration.

An option to update existing objects during KNX project import will be added soon.

I have a project, that previously contained a lot of unused GAs. I've deleted them, but when importing to LM they are not removed. Problem is, I have lots of tags and eventscripts on these GA's, so I can't really mass delete the LM's objects. Is there a way to import a project file, an delete all not excisting standard GA's?

[admin]

Deleting an object does not delete anything linked to it (scripts, trends, schedulers etc). So mass delete can be used before importing again.

I've made a script to clean uhp the group addresses... It does use a lot of CPU.
The script takes about 30 sec and makes the CPU go to ~2.50.
Can the LM manage this? We only need to run the script once, so it's not reaccuring..

[admin]

LM can handle this

Perfect! Thanks!
