[edit] Access Your Current Picklists

Steps:

Open Content Manager and Your Picklists

From the Trainz Launcher select Manage Content

In TRS19 SP4, Trainz Plus SP4 (and later) and TRS22

	Open the Filter List
	Select the Picklist to be backed up. This will open the Picklist

In TRS19 SP4, Trainz Plus SP4 (and later) and TRS22 you CAN select and backup the Default Picklist

In T:ANE and TRS19 SP3, Trainz Plus SP3 and earlier Trainz versions

	in Content Manager open the Content menu
	select Edit Picklist
This will display all your current Picklists
	Right Click on the required Picklist
	select Open Picklist from the popup menu
This will open the Picklist

In T:ANE, TRS19/Trainz Plus SP3 and earlier Trainz versions you CANNOT select and backup the Default Picklist

Select the Picklist Contents:

	Left Click on any one of the items
	press Ctrl + A to Select All the items

Copy the List to a New Window:

	Right Click on any one of the items
	select List Assets in New Window from the popup menu

Notes:

The option Export to CDP does appear in the menu list but this will export all the selected assets (with ALL their meshes, textures, config.txt files, etc) and not just a list of <kuids>. The resulting .cdp file can easily be many megabytes in size.

Copy Assets in Picklist:

The Picklist assets will be listed by their kuids in the Asset KUID box of a new search filter
	Left Click inside the Asset KUID box and press Ctrl + A to select them ALL
	copy the asset list to your operating system clipboard (press Ctrl + C )

[edit] Transfer the List to Notepad (or Any Text Editor)

Steps:

Open Notepad or Any Other Suitable Text Editor:

	open your favourite text editor (MS Notepad, Notepad++, etc)
	Left Click inside the Notepad window and then press Ctrl + V (paste)

Save the Picklist as a Text (.txt) File:

	from the Notepad File menu select Save or press Ctrl + S . If you are not using Notepad, make sure that the file format is text (.txt) for compatibility
	select a suitable backup location for the backup file
	enter a filename - the same name as the Picklist would be a good idea - then save

[edit] How to Restore a Picklist

Restoring a Picklist basically involves reversing the above two steps

Steps:

Open Your Text Editor:

	open your favourite text editor (MS Notepad, Notepad++, etc)
	locate and load the saved Picklist text file into your text editor
	select all the text - press Ctrl + A
	copy the text to your operating system clipboard - press Ctrl + C

Open CM in the Destination Trainz and Create a New Filter:

	in the copy of Trainz where the Picklist is being restored or transferred, open Content Manager
	start a new filter, select Custom
	paste ( Ctrl + V ) the asset list into the Asset KUID box
	delete from the filter the line Installed - this will ensure that any Picklist assets that are on the DLS but not installed on your system will be identified if any assets are identified as Available for download (i.e. they are not installed) then download and install them first

Create a New Picklist:

	select an entry and then select all ( Ctrl + A )
	Right Click on any entry and select Add to Picklist and then New Picklist from the popup menus

Name the Picklist:

Enter a name for the Picklist (the same name as the original would be a good idea) and Left Click the OK button (for T:ANE and TRS19) or the Save button (for Trainz Plus and TRS22)
