I don't have an answer for your real problem, but I may be able to help with how long it takes to configure a board in the future, Copy and paste works in a terminal window. However ctrl-c does not. You can highlight a set of statements, right click->copy and then right click->paste on the new device. Only time this won't work is sometimes between major levels the syntax changes. Export can be your friend, too. Again requires using terminal. Go to the area you need to copy to another board, such as queue/simple. Type export file=filename. This creates a file that you can drag to your PC. You can then edit it as required in your favorite text editor. Then drag it to the new board. In terminal go to the proper section and import file=filename will load the data from the old board. If you are doing same version to same board type you can export from the root level to do the entire configuration.
