Imports
Every app Switchboard can import from, one row each: bring it in, hand it over, put it back.
One list for every automation app Switchboard reads. Each row shows where that app stands on this Mac, and its one next step.
What's here #
A row per app. Found, with what it holds ("128 macros in 14 groups · 96 ready, 32 need a look"), brought in, handed over, running again, or failed. Apps that aren't on this Mac fold into "Not on this Mac".
Bring In adds what the app holds to your Library. Review… shows what comes across, and what needs a look, before anything is added. Switchboard reads a copy; nothing in the other app changes.
Bring In Everything brings in every app found as one import. One Undo (⌘Z) takes it all back.
Hand Over is for an app that owns hotkeys, so two apps don't act on one key. The row lists the steps first: quit the app, stop it opening at login, turn Switchboard's macros on.
Put Back turns those macros off (they stay in your Library), opens the app again if it was running, and lets it open at login again if Switchboard stopped that.
Choose a File… brings in a file exported from any of these apps, or a Switchboard file. You can also drop one on the list.
Tricks #
An app's login item is sometimes only that app's to change. The row says so, and opens Login Items in System Settings with the switch to turn off named.
If a handed-over app opens again by itself, the editor shows a banner: Pause It quits it again, Turn Mine Off puts it back.
The same list is one command:
switchboard import.
