UI synchronisation. GitHub. WndowLayout export

Rhino Rhino for Windows
1

In Rhino 7, different machines shared the same RUI file, which was saved in my GitHub folder, and the UI was synchronised almost automatically through GitHub along with the new scripts and buttons.

This allowed me to set up or restore my UI in minutes, even on someone else’s laptop with access to my GitHub.

Can I do the same in Rhino 8? Is there a single file that can be synchronised? Is there a macro or Python script to save and export the window layout?

Ok, I found out that these are popular questions and that there is ongoing work in this field.

Summary:
In Rhino 8 SR15:

  • There is no single UI file that can be synchronised through clouds.
  • No macro or python command to export WindowLayout state.
  • Temporary system (preventing autosync) for saving UI state in xml file is still implemented
  • Icons of previously created buttons still can be corrupted during the export/import
  • Patience is the main virtue of a scientist/programmer/[insert as needed]
