Opening a Show File

Hmm! I'm using a show "HLT1" and saved it as "Temp" OK. But when I use the browser to open the "Temp" file I see the loading script roll by but the top of my screen still says "HLT1*" (note the asterisk).

Another newby; I'm only using ETCnomad at this time and have set some lamps and saved to a sub. The Sub screen though looks weird. Is there a screen that looks like the subs that I can pull up the fader to see what I changed?

  • press Blind, Sub 1 Enter. you will see the content of that sub on screen.

    note that there are three different tabs:
    - Sub list (Sub Sub)
    - Blind, to see the content
    - Virtual Fader Tab, to move faders although you don't have physical faders
  • regarding the showfile:

    was the Save As target outside of the regular Show Archive directory?
    if the file before was inside that directory and the Save As file as well, the console will change the file that is currently loaded (changing the name on top of the screen and get rid of the asterisk
    if the Save As file was saved outside of the show file archive directory the console will record the current data under that new name but keep the previous showfile with all its unsaved changes loaded (hence the old name and the asterisk)
