Hi I load a show. I am doing a lot of changes. Then I want to save all the changes to a new show with a new name and keep the show that I started as it was. Something like "save as "option Is this possible??
As far as I know you have to do it the other way around - copy the show first, then make the changes to the copy. Setup -> Shows -> File browser - go into the shows folder right-click on your show and copy/paste it to create a second version, then load that show and edit it
Hog4 does not operate on the conventional save a document system. This is because our Show files save with every entered command. That way if you lose power, your data is not lost.
Because of this, we have two file types. 1: Show files 2: Backups/Archives
Show files (Blue Book Icon) are editable, and save with every command. Not transferable between consoles/computers Backups (Safe Icon) are not editable, and are used to make new show file. These are transferable between consoles and computers.
I like to think of backups as sort of "Snapshots" in time, because they are not editable. You can load multiple show file from a backup.
To do what you are asking, Simon is correct, copying the showfile, and loading it is the way to go. I would personally back up the showfile, then load from that backup, so that way you can always load from that backup in the future.
You can also give the backup a new name if you dont use the shortcut buttons. In the show window, backup, you can give your backup also a new name, but then you need to load that show. The actual show wont change its name
