HOW TO: Copy Your UI Layout from one Character to Another
 
So, this may have been covered, but after a brief and completely amatuerish search attempt, I didn't find anything relevant. I have made a video that documents how to copy the UI from one character to another, akin to what the /copylayout command would do, were it available to us. I made this video because I have talked a number of people through the process in recent weeks, and it would seem that enough people are unaware of how to do this and would benefit greatly from the knowledge. If there are easier or more well known methods, then I would love to hear them, but if not, then please enjoy this video tutorial on making your life a million times easier when making new characters or playing on someone else's account! :D

How To Copy Your UI Layout

That pretty much covers it. Useful addition though is to replace your defaults.ini (or whatever it's called) with the copied UI. This won't change your existing characters but will automatically copy in the UI for every new character you make (but you still have to copy friends list, macros etc if you want those).

I feel like I've lost hourd of my life having to readjust my UI file just through the laziness of not wanting to do this. Save yourselves some time and get a template sorted ^^
