OPENING .ASC FILES AFTER IMPORTING

So. I have a 24/48 Express board - WE are moving to the ETCNomad with the gadget and dongle on a PC>
Trying to import shows from the Express to the Eos

have converted .shw to .asc

Have gone to the Import window onthe EOS - Imported the file - Says "SUCCESS"

but the "show" is not loaded into the fancy new system.

ANy hints?

Once an .asc file ( from the conversion of a .shw file to .asc) is imported, it does not show up as loaded in ETCNomad.

It imports and Says "SUCCESS", but does not load as a show... the current show loaded at the time does not change

Of course I can not save as an .esf file since

Admin Note: Joined with previous thread that was moved from Cobalt to Eos forum since issue is related to Eos import of USITT ASCII file.

Hi Ed,

I moved this thread since you are working between Express and Eos software and not Cobalt software.

When importing a show file from ASCII into Eos, the showfile name at the top of the screen will not change until you save the Eos show file.

Can you explain more about what data is missing when you import?

AH. Ok.

well, If I import one of the .asc files from a show created on the Express Board, to EOS, I am not seeing all the cues that should be there either.

Knowing that the Show name would not change explains that, but I should see the cues and patch should I not>

You should see cues and patch. Can you post the .asc file you are trying to import?

Also, which version of Eos are you using? You can find this by clearing your command line and pressing [About] ("Y" on an external keyboard)

Click reply, then Use rich formatting. This shows a toolbar above the comment field. There click insert, then file.

Here's the three which have been converted.
C-3BROOKLYN.asc OLD-EXP.asc QM-1.asc

they should all be "different" cues

The cues in the show files contain different data though they are numbered the same in C-3Brooklyn and QM-1. OLD-EXP has only one cue recorded.

Is it possible that you were trying to do the ASCII import from an existing show?

I've attached Eos show file versions of the three shows you attached:

C-3Brooklyn 2018-05-25 11-05-45.esf

OLD-EXP 2018-05-25 11-06-36.esf

QM-1 2018-05-25 11-08-00.esf

Thank you.

I used the Expression off-line editor to convert to asc

Is there a program to convert ASC to esf "remotely" then add to archived shows?

I am really "old-school" :)

Hmmm. They all seem to come up with only 1 cue...

Intersting...

Do I have to maybe be in a "active" instead of offline to see the proper cues?

You should be able to see the Cues in the PSD List.

C3-Brooklyn has 31 Cues
OLD-EXP has 1 Cue
QM-1 has 52 Cues

To play them back, you may need to load the cue list to the playback. To do so, clear your command line and press [Cue][1][/] then click {Load} (above the main playback pair).

As for conversion, you did the right path: Expression>Expression Offline>ASCII>Eos. You can then save/copy the .esf files into the appropriate folders in your Show Archive.
