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)
