Missing FSEQ files
« on: December 08, 2020, 11:15:56 AM »
I recently upgraded to 2020.53 and 2 new sequences I created seem to be missing FSEQ files - therefore I cannot add to my schedule.  In the glossary in the Xlights manual is reads "A FSEQ file can always be generated from the XSQ files" but I can not find documentation on how to generate the files.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.  Philip

Go to FILE upper left of xLights,, then Preferences, click on the TAB-sequences, in there make sure you have the (Save FSEQ on Save) checked marked. Then go to your sequence and click on the save. You should see you FSEQ file.

That was already checked.  I did find them in a backup directory, but it would not let me move them to the show folder.  Philip

I just did a copy of a file in my backup folder, that's in my Show folder and paste that sequence file in my Show folder and it worked. I am on 2020.53 xLights. I also deleted the .FSEQ file, then open the sequence file, .XSQ file in xLights, did a Render All then I clicked on Save. I had a .FSEQ file on that sequence that I saved in my Show folder. Not sure why you are not getting an .FSEQ file when you save the sequence. If you have not been, go to xLights Zoom room, https://xlights.org, click on ZOOM button.  You can share your desktop and someone might be able to see what the issue is on the screen.
