The switch_skin_variation action is not changing the zip file. It only switches to another xml file that is available in the same zip file.
So if you have a zip file that includes 2 skins (2 xml and 2 bmp), you can use this action to choose one or the other.
Example..
Your zip file has these files
2DecksView1440x900.xml
2DecksView1440x900.bmp
4DecksView1440x900.xml
4DecksView1440x900.bom
then the action switch_skin_variation "4Decks" will load the second skin.
The action is not designed to change/select skins. To do that, you will still need to go to CONFIg-->Skins tab.
it is designed to override the limitation that the LE versions have (can not change skin with them). So for example the DDJ-WeGO Skin that came with the LE version has multiple skin files (different colors) and those could not be included in a single skin (it would be huge). So those skins are included in the same skin/zip file and the action helps user to select the skin (background color) from a menu.
Btw, the action above is missing a space. It should be .. <button action ="switch_skin_variation 'touchmixer'">
