Linux Mint Cinnamon Pinned apps. Duplicate Cinnamon panel

I wanted the same panel in Linux on all my monitors and found that the info/config is a bit spread out.

If you want to duplicate your pinned apps you will find the json files in

http://in/home/Your-USERNAME/.config/cinnamon/spices/grouped-window-list@cinnamon.org/

 

I used

dconf dump /org/cinnamon/ > panel-config.txt

to duplicate my panels (remember that all id's must be unique)* in order to populate /grouped-window-list@cinnamon.org/ with json-files and then replaced the new files with the file from the original panel.

 

Use 

dconf load /org/cinnamon/ > panel-config.txt

to write your changes.

 

* I pasted the panel bit found in between "enabled-applets=[" and  "] enabled-desklets" into calc, quadruplicated  the text and used the rolling number (pull down) feature to ensure unique numbers. Exported and cleaned it up for pasting.
