Effects here are they stored

[bobbert]

Where are the effects preset stored. How do to save ones from a shared sequence?

[kevinp]

The saved presets are located in the xlights_rgbeffects.xml file within the show folder.  You can copy and paste from one xml to another for a shared preset.  Be sure to place it within the preset section of the xml.  Back up your original xml file first before you mess with it just incase you need to go back to it.

 in the xml file, how are they listed in groups or as single enters?

[kevinp]

If you open the xml file up you will see a tag labeled <effectGroup name="your group name"> followed by a effect name tag with all of the information pertaining to the effect that is stored.

You'll want to use a proper xml editor so that the formatting is easier to read.

I would suggest Notepad++ for your xml editor

I would suggest Notepad++ for your xml editor

I would also enable the XML plug in that is available in Notepad++, very nice

[bobbert]

I have the xml plugin enabled. Still do not see any thing like what you xml.png shows. Done a search in the xlights_rgbeffects_xml file and the sequence file. None of the effect preset that I named are int either one.

Here is what the preset look like on one of my configs.

There is no listing of <effectGroup name=" in either the sequence or the rgbeffect xml files. Which file are the saved in? I upgraded the 2016.9 all that is list is layers.

They are in the rgbeffects file.  Maybe you don't have any in the file you are looking at.  They start at the <effects> tag.  It's possible to have no <effectGroup> tags because they only exist if you created groups for your presets.
