Title: Show Directory
Post by: morry on October 10, 2021, 09:13:28 PM

How do I create a new show directory from last years. Let me explain after last year I decided to change all my windows from using  single string models to using Frame model. so I'm in the process of re rendering  all my sequences and saving them to a new directory 2021\Christmas. But when I connected to FPP server and upload I noticed it was uploading from D:\2020\Christmas instead of D:\2021\Christmas but then when I changed show directory to D:\2021\Christmas it says I have no models when I try to load a sequence. So please help what am I doing wrong. I tried exporting models from last years directory but there is no import models on any menus.

with xlights closed..
copy the 3 xlights_...xml files from your 2020 folder and place them in your 2021 folder.
Now in xlights, open it up, go to controller tab, hit change permanently and select your 2021 folder.
