Profile Not Correctly Copied via "Import" and "Copy From" Functions

FlareStarrr opened this issue · 5 comments

The profile functions fail to correctly copy all settings.

Issue 1: "Import" Function
Profiles cannot be fully copied through the "Import" function.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Export a string with all options selected, intending to export all settings.
  2. Import that string with all options selected, intending to import all settings.
  3. Notice that dungeon boss settings are not synced.

Workaround: By directly copying the .wtf file from the Beta folder to the Retail folder, I successfully created a profile called "11.0 BETA" that appears correct.

Issue 2: "Copy From" Function
When attempting to rename the profile by creating a new one called "11.0" and using the "Copy From" function to duplicate the "11.0 BETA" profile, the settings were not correctly copied.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Create a new profile named "11.0."
  2. Use the "Copy From" function to copy settings from the "11.0 BETA" profile.
  3. Reload the game and observe the results.

Results:
On the first attempt, only one dungeon setting (City of Echo) was copied correctly, while others remained default.
After deleting the incorrect "11.0" profile and trying again, only two dungeon settings (CoE + Stonevault) were copied correctly.
On a third attempt, three and a half settings were copied correctly (CoE + SV + Dawnbreaker + first boss of City of Threads).

Frustration
As a user of multiple addons with profile string functions, Bigwigs is the only one that has proven unreliable. I’ve been frustrated numerous times upon discovering my settings were incorrect in dungeon fights, only to find that the profile was improperly copied each time in varying ways.

For issue 2 I have no idea and we'll have to check.

Read the lines on the export / import page, it specifically says this does not affect specific boss settings.

This is something we want to support in the future.
