Update an active GML in control tree?

[Max Steel]

Hello... am newbie to Girder, so excuse my ignorance.
Tell me, is is possible to update an active GML file on the fly?

eg. If I have a GML/group/actions/
Is it possible to add/remove/ammend actions within a specific GML file on the fly, or just replace the entire GML with another version with same name??

I found the Girder to Girder action 'push gml' and this seems to be kinda what I wanna do, ie. Update or replace an existing GML with another of same name, except I want to replace an active GML on the local machine thats running Girder.

Is the above possible?

Thanks in advance..

Can you explain why you need to do this?

Just to check, you do know that you can have more than one GML loaded at a time don't you? And that you can control which GML is responding to events from say, a remote, using a conditional.

Well, I just thought it might be an easy way of changing actions/events within a subgroup, without having to individually enable them or disable them, or open and close GML's.. etc.

Again, I am new to girder4, so perhaps aren't using the most ideal method, but it just seemed a reasonable way of changing a set of defined actions, by replacing a GML file with one of identical name, but the new GML could contain completely different action set.

ie. I don't want to alternate between actions, I wanted to entirely replace or ammend existing actions.

Seemingly the 'push gml' action does precisely this?, but only for remote girder clients?

The push GML is mostly intended for automatically copying a GML from one machine to another.

I'd take a look at conditionals in the manual if I were you.
