[Resolved] Save views and Package Showfile?

Post by 5th Element » Tue Oct 15, 2013 2:43 am

Wondering if anyone knows of a way to save view settings to transfer from one computer to another. I have some specific color schemes and sizings on performance mode that I really like that I want to take with me from one computer onto another computer so I am looking at the same thing.. anyone know an easy way to do this. Also wondering about an easy way to "package" a show file to take with you. That way all the audio files, etc... I am using get copied and I don't end up with broken links? I know a little pre-planning would probably help but I was curious.

Thoughts?

Most of what you want can be achieved by creating a Production Folder. See Production Folder and Portability in the SCS Help for details. Note that you can save your color schemes file in your Production Folder.

What the above does not save is your Options, so if there are particular Display Options etc you want to copy then currently you'll have to do this manually.

I'll look it over, I noticed I could export a color scheme, I more meant how I have the performance view setup, like what things I want to see and then also the scaling of the categories on that screen so when I load up the show at home to make edits I am looking at the exact same screen I will be sending to the client. I am trying to make sure when I edit a show file and then drop it in remotely at the venue I have SCS installed at, that there is some continuity. So far that doesn't seem to be the case and I am trying to figure out how to do that.
If not possible right now it's not the end of the world but I wanted to ask.
THanks!

The production folder option is exactly what I meant for "packaging" a show,
Thanks!
