Importing units to a new db

[James Sentman]

The import/export stuff we removed quite a while back due to the difficulties in keeping up with database changes in more than one place. You can however manually edit your database before bringing it over. If you control-click on it in the Finder you can select “show package contents” and then open the contents folder. Inside you’ll see all your units and scripts. You can just delete them out of there. The folders they are in should have the same name as the unit or script does but if the name is not allowed as a finder file name because it contains illigal characters then it might just be a UUID number. 

I would also work on a copy of the database and make sure XTension is not running while you’re doing that...
