Unable to import 1.9.11 show files to 2.0

John-

Perhaps I'm missing something, but why would you want to do an ASCII import on an EOS show file, when you can just open the 1.9.11 file in 2.0.0? This automatically converts it and allows you to go between versions. This carries over patch, cues, moving lights, and any other specifics to your show file.

Let me know if I'm just reading this incorrectly.

Hey Jared

Sorry if the last post seemed vague.

What you've stated was exactly what I did from the start. 

-place thumb drive in desktop

-went to File>Open>Kensington>Showfile Archive>our standard rep file

and was shown File Load Error!  unable to read show file.

as a result nothing loaded and was left with a new show

I just went out on a limb to tried ASCII to at least get patch and cues restored.

Thanks for the quick response

Johnny

So luckly I happen to have a Mac in my office and installed the OLE in it, and it seems to be working just fine with loading show files from the flash drive.

Maybe somethings up with the PC that's started all of this. I do have the OLE running off ADMIN on the PC. I don't know. Maybe it's time to call

our on-campus IT Crowd. 

Hey John,

I've not seen this with either Beta or released 2.0 in the OLE, on a WinXP machine.

In the OLE, what happens when you copy the data from the USB to the Show Archive and then try opening there ?.

Or on the console, do the file transfer in the shell before booting into Ion.

FWIW, I have ongoing issues with my Ion facepanel USB drive not seeing off-brand drives - Microcenter and HP in particular and keep a short USB cable jumper off a back spare USB port. The console always sees that drive.  Kensington and Sandisk seem to be OK on the front, so maybe an odd USB drive issue.

when you say "running off admin" do you mean you are logged in as admin or did you use window's "Run as Administrator" feature?

ueliriegg,

Yeah.

Sorry. What I meant is "running as ADMIN"   i need to eat something

I'm gonna try an uninstall & reinstall of the OLE for this PC and see what happens. May have been a "dirty" download

Thanks

Johnny

Steve,

Thanks for your input. It has helped narrow things down.

As for you USB face panel port I remember this being a problem when you've tried loading my ScanDisk drive and had to use the cable jumper instead.

So far our ION USB face panel port has been accepting all types of flash drives, but I'm still gonna give it go and save to a spare off the back of the light desk.

It was a pleasure working with you and your crew for Ezer Mizion. You guys are dynamite!

All the best

so i guess, this issue has been resolved too, now that you're running OLE as admin? ;)

That's correct.

It's running fine with as expected with ADMIN

That crew said the show looked terrific, as BTW, they were really impressed with your macro's.  

Glad to hear you got the file open figured out.
