I recently tried to use importing and exporting feature on custom container.
It works.
However, I encountered some very annoying problems:
Some of my custom container share resources, and sometimes I just need to create a couple of variations of the same custom container, like different theme.
By default, the generated manifest includes all affected parts. So - if I create several exports with the shared parts, then I include only my individual part - it works. However - it's quite tedious to maintain.
I have to export several files for 1 custom container, and remember to import them in the right sequence or it breaks.
The main problem is - when there's any resource conflict - the import just fails. There's no option to resolve the conflicts. The option to either leave existing resource or overwrite existing resource would totally fix it. I could export any number of versions of the same control and then decide what resources to import from it.
In the window area where yellow exclamation mark appears (conflict detected) - there should be a checkbox to overwrite the file. Unchecked - the existing file remains unchanged, if checked - existing file gets overwritten.
I guess it still can be done if I manually edited the manifest in the exported file (it's just a zip file). But this is basically creating another export files, that can be done by editing the manifest file on exporting. Doable but very tedious.
TL; DR - the options to resolve conflicts on custom container import is a very important feature that is missing in TouchGFX. This problem could be solved by just adding checkboxes indicating that the specified resources will be overwritten.
