Setup, Show Directory and Layout
« on: January 26, 2018, 03:27:19 PM »
When I set up Xlights for the first time I saved the setup and Show Directory in a default location C:\Users\Kurtis\Documents on my desk top computer. I now want to move everything to my show computer. I copied and saved all the sequences to a thumb drive and loaded them on my laptop show computer. I didn't see where I could "save as" the setup to the thumb drive. I can open the sequences on the show computer and output the data to my controllers but I can't modify any of the setup criteria or layout. How do I move everything over to my show computer?

Thanks

The best way to move to another computer is to copy the whole folder and not individual files.  That way you do not miss a file that needs to be there.  If you open xlights on the new computer before copying anything it will create a new network file and a new rgb_effects file so you need to overlay those with the ones from the old computer.
