    Has anyone else have had issues importing and exporting emlalock sessions?

    A couple of months back I thought I had this resolved - but it looks like importing isn't working, or I don't know how to import, or the import code is wrong.

    Hmmmm...

    Well, since I can't get emlalock working I best get back to masturbating.

    I guess you don't know how export/import works as I've just done it and it works very well.

    That was my guttural response in reaction to feelings of being surprisingly inept with a slight disappointment in myself for not documenting how I successfully imported emlalock sessions.

    A few months back I recall testing and verifying that the import/export feature does indeed work. It could be that I stored the wrong export code. I’m not really sure.

    However, I can always recreate another session and try to save, test and write instructions for myself to follow.

    Please be more specific. Which step of the import is not working? You'd would normally open the "Import & Export" tab, paste the session string into the textarea on the left side, then click the "Import" button. If the session string was valid, you get transferred to the "General" tab. If the session string was invalid, nothing happens. Of course, an explicit error message would be helpful, but there is no error message.

    If the session string is invalid, it is probably incomplete. Make sure to copy the entire string. Additional line feeds or spaces don't seem to matter, but missing parts do matter.

    I don't get any errors. Does the session need to first be started before exporting?

    No.

    Still curious which step isn't working for you. Maybe the import isn't working because you forgot to click the import button.

    Exporting didn't seem to grab setting parameters until a session was started. But, maybe there's another way (instead of starting a session before exporting).

    That would make no sense. Import/Export need to work before a session is started.
    I'm almost confident copy-paste wasn't done properly. I used to have template issues 2 years ago but it was fixed and never had any, anymore.

    I'm massively experienced with copy/paste - but, I'll look into that.

    each to their own but we had so many problems with emlalock coupled with their lack of support and basic disinterest despite our many attempts to contact them we just gave up on them and based on our experience I would recommend them to no one.

    which is unrelated to the issues discussed here.

    Ironically, the import/export function is one of the few Emlalock features that work as expected. It works even better than it should. E.g. it reveals hidden times and emergency passwords to everyone.

    as i'm talking about emlalock not working properly and that not being a new thing it is completely related to the thread content.

    Only 'cause you make it so.
    Semantically it's not: the import/export function works and what's being discussed here is whether it's done properly or not which transcends from "their lack of support and basic disinterest" as you wrote in your first comment.

    I've always wondered what Import/Export functionality did on emlalock, but could never find any instructions or direction for that section so I just ignored it.

    I think you are splitting hairs but I accept you are going to represent emlalock in the most favourable light you can and I'm not going to argue with lady on this site about an issue as small as this.

    We have both expressed our opinions and its probably best we just agree to differ.

    Whatever it is you may say on this topic will get no argument from me.

    Alright, so the function is to avoid filling up all the items you want in a session. When you have a session type that you might use again (from a holder or solo perspective), export it from the Import/Export and paste it somewhere to use it later, or in a new session.
    The new one will have the same features of the one you exported. Pay attention to sessions where you give an exact date as opposed to a duration as the date is the only thing that won't get exported and needs setting up from scratch.

    I am reluctant to defend Emlalock, because they don't appreciate my bug reports.
    Anyway, in your particular case, it has become certain that the problem is not caused by a server bug, but by you doing something wrong. You keep complaining about it not working, but you refuse to provide any information (error message, session string) that could help reproducing and narrowing down the problem.

    It's like calling the police and telling them you were robbed, but you refuse to tell them where and when that happened.

    Everyone over here seems a bit tense for some reason. Lack of masturbation perhaps?
