Is there a way to force NT7 to recompile all the custom indicators?

As I use several PCs, I'm looking for a way to copy all the updated indicators from one pc to another, without having to recompile each indicator one by one manually in Ninja.

When NT recompiles, it recompiles all indicators at once. All you have to do is copy the indicators over and then recompile one of them and they will all be updated.

everything you copy as .cs-file in the indicator-folder will be compiled if you just re-compile ONE indicator!
that the way it worked in NT 6,5 .

It's normally a timestamp related issue. You'd normally only recompile any files that have changed (i.e. have a later timestamp than the previous file). The others are already compiled. If you want to do a true recompile (i.e. recompile all of the source), I believe you'll have to change the timestamp on every source file. But why do this ?

A second way to do this, is simply to export all files via File -> Utilities -> Export Ninjascript. You can create a single export file by selecting all the files at once. Then copy the export file to the second PC and use File -> Utilities -> Import Ninjascript to install the files.
