There are occasions when I want to change he decoder template within DecoderPro, e.g. a new decoder definition template has been created that is the correct template for a decoder already fitted using another template, a decoder has been replaced and it is wished to retain the loco meta data.
?
Presently this requires a new loco to be created in DecoderPro using the correct, updated or new decoder template and re-entering the meta data which isn¡¯t onerous however a potentially nugatory step ¨C especially if the new decoder template is being applied to many locos.
?
The situation doesn¡¯t arise often, but it does happen where a incorrect template is used as DecoderPro hasn¡¯t had a template created and a few releases later the correct template is available. It happens regularly that a decoder is replaced and cutting and pasting all the non-decoder data can lead to errors.
?
Is it possible to create a way to replace the decoder template without having to create a new loco? It may be that the decoder template is replaced by a blank template of the new decoder that requires the values to be read from the existing decoder, and that would be an acceptable solution.
