How to copy objects between lookout applications

How can I copy objects between different Lookout applications? I get an error that states that source and destination processes are not the same.

Hi fadihindi

Are you trying to copy Lookout objects within the same process or between different processes?
While you can copy/paste objects within the same process, you cannot directly copy objects from one
Lookout process to another (according to the Lookout Help).

However, one possible workaround is to copy the object from the .lks file of one process to the .lks file of the
other process.

If you have a Lookout program that you want to copy objects FROM, then you can open up the .lks file with a text
editor such as Notepad. You will notice the different objects listed in this text file. You can copy the objects
from this file to the .lks file of the process you want to copy the objects TO.

You can then open up your .lks file with Lookout, which will recompile the source file and create a new .l4p process
file.

This KnowledgeBase may also be helpful.

Before doing this, I would definitely recommend backing up your Lookout files to disk in case you make a mistake.
