Importing Show

Postby ABBAMANIA » 03 August 2022, 23:42

Hi,
I have changed from one mac to another and have Exported my show from one and Imported to another but all the file paths are wrong.
It will take me forever to redo.

Am I missing something?
I used the Export Lightshow function then the Import on the new MacBook, closed then opened the lightship. the imported folder is in the Lightshows folder and all my Buttons can be seen on the page but a crossed out circle appears on the button until I change the file path.

any ideas?

thanks

Please post two download links for the following files:
- a ZIP file of the lightshow folder in your original Mac computer (the good one)
- a ZIP file of the exported lightshow (the non working one)
We will compare them.

Nothing works in our computer because your scenes were located outside of the lightshow folder.
So our software has no choice but memorize & store the full path (instead of the local path when the scene is inside the lightshow folder).
Here is what we see in the parameter file "../YourLightshow/Live/live.ini":
name = /Users/admin/Desktop/2019/MH 180 Gobo/5 Dots.scex

Then the lightshow is obviously not exportable to another computer.

Please respect the lightshow folder organisation and leave the scenes inside the folder:
- "../YourLightshow/scenes/" for Steps scenes
- "../YourLightshow/Editor/Generator/projects/" for Generator scenes

We suggest you to move all you scenes in the correct lightshow folder and to manually edit & modify the file live.ini:
name = /MH 180 Gobo/5 Dots.scex

(you can create the folder "MH 180 Gobo" inside the folder "../YourLightshow/scenes")
