Multiple shows

Postby kahilzinger » 28 December 2009, 16:35

Is there a way to save and store independent shows. For instance, if I am in venue "A" and I create a show, I see I can export it. Then, I go to venue "B" and I create a new show. Can I go between them and bring up each show on the import without affecting the default show?

Since I have a ShowXpress at the venue I normally work and a SweetLight at home, I see that the show data for both programs is stored in the user account directory. I guess I could create secondary user accounts for each venue but I would rather just re-import the venue I am in since I am using a second machine as a primary for the SweetLight venue and a backup for the ShowXpress venue.

Thank you.

Each show is stored in a different folder (like "default") in the folder "home_directory/TheLightingController/LightShows/default/".
When you choose another show from ControlBoard -> Settings -> current light show, you simply set another show folder.

Please note that you must restart ControlBoard, in order to load the new show (this problem will be fixed later).
