    Tool Libraries

    due to an Unfortunate Hard Drive Incident beyond my control, I now find myself with the unfortunate task of recreating my Tool Lib...

    but I stumbled upon something cool... if you open the ToolLib.xml file in Excel, it is then super easy to add/edit/copy/etc the Tool lib...
    there is only one minor little catch...
    stupid Excel wont let me save the xml data

    so, does anyone know how to get stupid excel to save? or are there any other XML editors that put everything in a nice sortable/editable table like excel does?

    If you save your tool library information from Excel ... or other program, into a text (.CSV) file, this reference article may help...

    CamBam reference library - Tool Library Automation

    This demonstrates using a Python script to read and write to the tool library.

    I hope this helps!

    not so much...
    scripts are above my pay grade...
    I like simple stuff

    I tried just cutting and pasting the script into the script window, but when I try to compile it just poops out an error, something about CamBamConfig being unhappy or something
