V6 to V9 - meaning of ".sce" and ".scex" [done]

[socalmagic]

I recently upgraded my lightshow from V6 to V9, and now my folder of scenes has files with *.sce and *.scex. What's the difference between the two scenes?

"scex" is the new "Steps" scene file format since V7 (11 years ago).
When V7 (and more) reads a "sce", it saves it as "scex".
For same scene name with both extensions "sce" and "scex", it will ignore the "sce" and open only the "scex" format.

That's helpful. All of my timelines in Live have the *.sce files. Di I need to manually switch these out to *.scex?

Yes, you have to open the file "../YourLightshow/Live/TimeLine/timelines/YourTimeLineFile.tml" and execute the "search / replace" function.

FYI, when a scene file is present in the two formats (sce and scex), TimeLine will open the scex one.

I don't see an option to search/replace in Live. Where is it at?

Sorry we would like to say:
"Yes, you have to open the file "../YourLightshow/Live/TimeLine/timelines/YourTimeLineFile.tml" with a text editor program (like "Notepad" on Windows for instance) and execute the "search / replace" function."
