Can I have 2 different layouts in my xlights?
« on: December 02, 2018, 05:31:21 PM »
Am running ver 2018.47. I have 2 different projects that I have been working on. The 1st project is a 32 string pixel mega tree at church, E682 controller running with a Raspberry Pi 3B+. I set up a simple 5 minute animated sequence that is running in the evenings and working pretty well.
The 2nd project is my home show, a simple animated sequence with some AC light strings running with a renard ss24 and pi 3B+.
I wanted to change a few things in the sequence for my church project so I opened that sequence up and my house project backround image and models showed up there. I made the assumption that I could save a sequence as it was developed and when I reopened it I would see it as it was originally built. I am new to all of this and truthfully it has been hard on the old man. Should I have different previews for different projects? Thanks for your help.

The best option is just switch your Show folder from the Setup tab to a new directory.  You can have as many show folders as you like and switch between them.

Thank you sir, that makes sense and it should be an easy fix.
