Updating an IG deletes custom butts

[srfscenar]

Hi all,

I have almost finish my IG in Scenarist, with all custom buttons, commands etc, and I realized I needed to change something.
So, I exported another version of my IG and updated my existing.

BUT, A L L my dummy butts are gone!!!
Got any tips on how to update my IG without losing all the work?
Using v.5.3.2.

Thanks!

You lose the dummy buttons only if the button doesn't have any command. A simple "NOP" is enough to keep the dummy button while updating the IG.

Of course it worked!
Thank you!

BUT, if you have multiple dummy buttons in the same BOG, it does not keep those,
even if they have commands.
It Keeps only one dummy/BOG, right?

Never tried... but why you should need more dummy buttons in the same BOG?! You can do the same and easily with only one dummy button per bog

For e.g., in PopUp, chapters page, 1st button calls the chapter and links to the duplicated that closes the pop up.
At least these were Rovi's instructions... to be honest, haven't tried it in one button all the commands.
Will it work?

In your example, you have two real buttons in the same bog and you don't even need a dummy button. In that case, the way it updates the IG makes perfectly sense.
