Wrong audio file path after exp / import lightshow [fixed]

Post by MegaDog »

I am running in to same problem where if I import lightshow that was exported from another computer I would need to manually change audio file path for all buttons in all live sets. While it can be done, doing it every time will lead to eventually making a mistake by selecting the wrong audio file and causing embarrassment at a live venue. I am surprised that this problem wasn't mentioned sooner.

I like the software a lot and use it for in every live venue I get so I hope you can address this whit a simple solution soon.

The audio file has to be stored inside the lightshow folder, in order to be correctly exported / imported.
Please check that.

I am sorry I am not sure which folder do you consider to be lightshow folder?
Do you mean project folder has to be inside C:Program Files/ShowXpress/lightshows_bank/ ?

This is not the lightshow folder (this is the program folder).
Please read this to know where is your lightshow folder: https://forum.thelightingcontroller.com ... ?f=3&t=168

I thought I was doing that already but most likely I am doing something wrong or there would be more people having same issue. I will try to export/import again and will pay attention to where my files are to be sure I am not making a mistake.

Thank you for quick response and all the help.
