update from build 38 to IsBoxer build 41

Hello,
I did go through launching a second instance of IsBoxer in order to copy new mapped keys, and what not, to my own profile (based on 38 build)
I was wondering on what is really necessary to be copied over. Also I did notice that under game helpers, World of Warcraft has new macros. Can I simply ignore thess and continue with the game helper Wow (quick setup 38) ?
Its quite understandable that the updates need to be done manually, however I do not want to fall far behind on any new functionality that has been added!
Any thoughts will be welcome.

You don't have to copy anything over to your old configuration, it should continue to work as it did before. Things from ISBoxer 41 that you copy into your old configuration may not work. You don't need the ISBoxer 41 macros in your ISBoxer 38 configuration, and you won't need ISBoxer 38 macros in your ISBoxer 41 configuration.

Now... if you make a new Character Set, it's going to get new Menus instead of Click Bars, and it's going to get Key Maps with new names (instead of FTL DPS Keys, you get Combat; instead of General, you get Non-combat), and the new WoW Macro Set. Each of these things is tied together -- the Menus refer to the new Key Maps, the Key Maps refer to the new Menus and WoW Macro Sets.

Some people make the mistake of trying to piece the new ISBoxer 41 configuration into their previously existing ISBoxer 38, 39 or 40 settings, without realizing that they would then have to link the pieces up to their own Key Maps instead of ISBoxer 41's. And then wonder why it's broken, and at that point it's because the pieces that referred to each other are linked to the wrong pieces.

First of all, thanks for the very informative response. I only copied the Formation, standard and toggles menu. Also, I did copy the formation menu toggle, and toggles toggle but only after disabling their respective hotkeys in order to avoid conflicts.
I did this as it was something suggested back in the day when ISBoxer had updated from build 36 to 38. However, your post clarifies things up, and I hope I will not mess things up with the simple items I did transfer.
I have heavily added to the FTL DPS Keys, so I am wondering if what I added will be recognised if I start a new character set? Also does this mean that any click bars created by me will be rendered useless for a newly created character set?
I am thinking of doing the following:

• Copying the ftl dps to combat (this way I keep my old self-created dps keys)
• Since I chose to get the standard menu when creating the team, I will have that menu functional (I can reproduce it for the other bars I am using “shift, ctrl and alt bars”)
• copying over the click bars I created to the new team
• copying the formation menu to this team and trying it on


I have been away from the game for a while, which might explain my unfamiliarity with the latest changes. Sorry for the lengthy post and thanks again lax for taking the time to clear things up for me; it goes a long way in making my return a less arduous undertaking.

Here is a link to my configuration, just in case this might be useful in clarifying things. Mind you it is still a work in progress, but it has been quite useful to me so far.
