Question about Bartender4 Addon

Is it possible to “copy” specific hotkey bars from one toon to another? For example, I setup all my favorite mounts in two bars. Now I want to copy those bars to alts. Or do I just have to login to each one and drag/drop the mounts into the bars manually for each alt?

EDIT: SOLVED!

I don’t know if it can be done within the game, but you should be able to copy the wtf files from one character to another. That should accomplish what you’re aiming for.

The entire folder from one toon (folder) to another, or specific files within the toon folder? I hadn’t thought of that.

Moving the whole folder would move the settings for all mods from one character to another. If you want specific mods, just move the folders associated with those mods.

Can’t you just copy one profile to another within the config? Coulda swore that’s how mine is setup, though I rarely ever play alts so I could definitely be wrong.

Edit: Ok I misunderstood. You can copy the bars and their hot keys, but you’d have to manually populate them with the mounts/abilities/etc

This is what I’m trying to figure out, the folder associated with BAR4 is in the AddOns folder of course. There is no other folder for this. So if I simply copy from AddOns into my other character name folders, will it work? Within each folder named after each of my toons, there is a SavedVariables folder which contains all of the .LUA and .BAK folders for Addons, however there is no files there for Bartender4.

Just copy the profile of the first toon you initially set up Bartender with. Should be under “Profiles” at the bottom of the list (/bt, the minimap icon, or navigate there via the add-on tab in options)
From there, you can save that profile however you want and select it on alts, and it should import the key bindings along with the setup.
If you’re trying to export the keybindings to a different addon, I’m not sure Bartender supports a way to do that.

It doesn’t, hence my posting here. I thought that too. But so far, I’ve had to take a screenshot on my main, and then manually move each mount onto the hotkey bars manually.

That’s… interesting.
It should support that by default.
Maybe another addon is messing with it somehow?

Edit: Wait, mounts? I think I may have jumped the gun and skipped out on some crucial info, give me a sec

Okay yeah.
Bartender can’t do that. I thought you were talking about binds.
Bartender isn’t capable of memorizing what you put on bars, you’ll have to manually set skills/items/mounts up every time, or search for an addon that can supplement that functionality. I’m not aware of any myself personally.

I don’t use any other addons that affect hotkey bars. Yes, mounts. I described what I’m trying to do in my OP.

Thank you! As long as I have an answer, all good. Thank you! I’ll do it manually.

I re-read the OP and edited my response accordingly in the prior response.
Sorry about the mix-up. :sweat_smile:

All good! This is the answer I assumed, but figured I’d ask. But, manually it is! Only 8 toons lol 7 more to go!
