Override variables in skins

[TimeWriter]

Text-variables like FB_TO are defined in (premium pack) skins. How do I change / override these values without loosing them with an update of the skin ?

You just need to update to the current version. Version 1.3x of the Premium Pack comes with a little utility called PPUpdater that solves precisely this problem. To transfer your settings from your old skin to the new version you select the old skin in the "Source:" box of PPUpdater and the new skin in the "Target: " box. You can select which categories of settings you want to transfer, then you click OK to transfer the settings.

Note that PPUpdater does NOT update your old skins!! It simply transfers your customized settings from an old skin to a new version so that you don't have to do this yourself.

Thanks for your prompt reply.

Why is it that template-variables do override project-variables ? Would it not be more logic that project-variables would override template-variables ? (it also would solve this problem, without the need of transferring values)

By definition, skins exist to override all matching elements in the project. That is what they are for. If you did it the other way round the skin would not work.
