Show files - where your SETUP is stored

In a "Show" file all SETUP view parameters of a project are stored. From this file you can easily create versions or backups of your show setup.

Show files (.pxshow) are specific to an installation and therefore stored in

  • [Installation folder]/Local Storage/Show Files

You can find backups of your current show file in
[Installation folder]/Local Storage/Show Files/Backups

  • Created every 30 mins (if there has been a change)

  • Max 5 backups

Show files folder location

Click on "Open folder location" in START > Storage > Machine settings > Local storage

Show file location

Find the path to a specific Show file by clicking on "Open show file location” in the overflow menu (3 dots at the right) of a show in START > Storage > Shows

As every Pixotope version has its own local storage folder, when installing a new Pixotope version, you are asked if you want to copy this folder to the new installation.

PRODUCTION view parameters are still stored in the project folder.
