When I'm exploring options, I prefer to use Xavier's Google Earth interactive tool. But if you copy the circumstances from that tool, it pastes everything perfectly except it strips the hrs off the event times and just pastes the minutes and seconds.
I just tried and didn't have anything stripped when cutting from GE and pasting in a text editor. Please make sure you generate a new KMZ file using the 5MCSE web tool or else just click on this link to directly generate the new KMZ file for ASE 2013.

Hi Xavier,
You were right, my kmz file was 3 years old. I reloaded a new version and the stripping problem is gone. You can cut and paste easily.
Personally, from my own work flow standpoint, I find its much more efficient to work in Google Earth when planning an eclipse expedition than using the calculator. This is because I plan all expeditions with my friend Bengt in Sweden and a number of other friends scattered around the world, in GE, I can leave my own place markers, notes and paths then export them to kmz and email them to Bengt or other collaborators coming on the expedition.
Now that I can cut and paste circumstances, it does everything I need.
I was not concerned about the default eclipse setting. It was someone else who commented about that.
I'm sure you are in the same boat as me that at any one time, I am at different stages of planning multiple expeditions with other people. At the moment, we're working on expeditions to next months annular, Novembers total in Africa and the Atlantic and the 2015 total up in the Arctic so I'm constantly switching eclipses around anyway.
cheers
Joe
