Low Variable - local install not recognizing files from server
Everytime I drop a file into my local variables folders it doesn't sync up. I have the setting Save as files? marked as Y. And the folder in write mode.
Any suggestions?

What are your PHP, EE and LV versions?
Also, note that if you create a new file and add it to the vars folder, new variables will not be created. You have to create the var in the LV CP. Once created, any changes will be synced.

that the issue. I was trying to grab my variables from my previously install and use them.
But i could just import my old EE db into my new local one and all variables would appear... right??

Yeah, you can export the exp_low_variables, exp_low_variable_groups and exp_global_variables tables and import them.
Just note that if you have var types like Grid and Matrix, you will need to re-create those, as they store data in different tables.

thanks. I don't use those field types.
Appreciate the help!
