- Open your terminal (PowerShell on Windows or Terminal on Linux/macOS) and type
Conflixer, then pressEnter.
-
Enter aix to keep: The tool will prompt you to provide the path to the
.aixfile that you want to keep as a reference. This is the extension that you prefer or need to maintain in its current form.- You can either type the full path or drag and drop the
.aixfile into the terminal window.
- You can either type the full path or drag and drop the
-
Enter aix to target: Next, you’ll be asked to provide the path to the
.aixfile that is conflicting with the reference file. This is the extension that Conflixer will analyze and modify to resolve any conflicts.- Again, you can type the path or drag and drop the file into the terminal.
- After you’ve provided the necessary inputs, Conflixer will start processing. It will compare the two
.aixfiles and automatically resolve any conflicts between them. - This process usually takes just a few seconds.
- Once the tool completes its job, it will generate a new
.aixfile that is free from conflicts. - You can now use this resolved
.aixfile alongside the original reference file without worrying about any compatibility issues.
Imagine you have two extensions that you love, but they can’t be installed together due to conflicts. Conflixer steps in to merge them intelligently, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of both without the headache of manual troubleshooting.
- Backup Your Files: Before running Conflixer, it’s a good idea to create backups of your original
.aixfiles. This way, you can always revert if needed. - Multiple Runs: If you’re working with multiple conflicting extensions, you can run Conflixer multiple times, each time targeting a different conflict.
