Been using Catalyst for some time now, but always set up simple layers on site. Using an extensive LED array with Pixel Mad this time around and trying to do my config at home, then import the files to the machines at rehearsals. I have scoured the forum and can't find out how to do this:

*setup patch and fixture list here at home
*take settings and load them into touring servers

I've seen a few mentions of Catalyst presets, but I've tried toying with this here and after I modify the Catalyst presets.txt, move it and replace it it does not work.
What am I missing?
Should I just take the entire application with me on a thumb-drive and change out?
Thanks for any help!
