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