Title: trying to copy my models from PC to Mac
Post by: FireMedic4Christ on December 10, 2014, 10:58:04 PM

I entered the mac world about one year ago and am still learning how things are set up in a mac world. I have copied my lights_rgbeffects.xml file from the windows 7 machine to my macbook but I am not sure where exactly to put it. It is currently in the same folder as my setup files. When I open xlights, my models are not there. Any macbook folks out there that can help.

they will be in the directory that you assigned to xlights on the setup tab. personally I set mine as document\xlights directory

Thanks Neil, sometimes I am just too smart for my own good! I checked the location to make sure I was looking in the right spot and I was not. Thanks for your time and assistance. All better now.

me to, but only just this past week did I finally convert to using my macbook in OSX. I had been using NC in a windows VM Fusion virtual on my macbook prior to this.

Better than my approach...I was using bootcamp and constantly dealing with disk space issues as I only left my bootcamp disk with 20GB of space!!

Soon to be one more.   I plan to join the mac world in Jan 2015.  My W7 PC is really struggling; time for a new one.   My wife went to Mac so I figured I might as well go there with her!

I've enjoyed my macbook thus far. Lightorama has been my one holdback and I think i have proofed to myself that i don't need it anymore. I'm headed to Best Buy tomorrow to purchase a usb wireless adapter for the rasberry pi and I doubt that I will be back to a microsoft product anytime soon.

I prefer MACs, but none of my hardware/software combinations work on OSX. so I had to buy a cheap W8 laptop
