New Users - Insure you get the correct User Manual
« on: December 21, 2020, 10:34:38 PM »
Windows 10 64Bit home
Downloaded and installed Xlights (C:\Program Files\xLights) to get familure with the program. 

Apparently there are older and current "User manuals" for this software that can be accessed via the home page (https://xlights.org/).

The one you want for the current software version: https://manual.xlights.org/xlights/ (651 pages)

An older version via the WIKI (nutcracker site) link: https://xlights.org/xLights_User_Manual.pdf (227 pages).

Because the program UI is quite different between the 2 user manual versions, make sure you get the correct version of the manual (https://manual.xlights.org/xlights/) or your gonna be really confused like I was. 
Not only is the order of install different between the 2 manuals, they both are different from the procedure listed on the download page (https://xlights.org/releases/)

As a new user, you may also need to download and install Audacity first.
