Edit personal fixture profile imported from DVC3 show to Daslight4 show

Post by lorenzoandreani »

I bought an dvc4 gzminterface to use Daslight4 software, so i opened the my old show i used with DVC3 and i saved it in new format Daslight4.

How can i edit the fixture personal profiles .ssl2 in the show (i can't find them in the "C: \ Daslight4 \ ScanLibrary" folder)?

Hey,

Once loaded, the fixture profiles are saved in the showfile. So if you need to edit this fixture profile, you might have to download it again (here : https://store.daslight.com/ssl) or look for it in your DVC3/scanlibrary folder.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
TomHat

Ok, this is good, the fixtures profile are saved in the showfile so it is more convenient to transport it between one pc and another and if i update the original fixture profile, the show file is updated.

But if the fixture profile was created for a personal fixture (so it can not be downloaded from the site) and the .ssl2 file is no longer available on the pc i no longer have the ability to make changes to the fixture profile.

It would be helpful to have the opportunity to extract the fixture profile from the showfile to recreate the .ssl2 file.
Can this feature be added to the Daslight4 program?

- I found the custom .ssl2 file for a fixture
- I copied it to the Scalibrary folder, in the correct position and with the right name
- but Daslight4 does not update the fixture profile in the .dvc file

I think this is due to a problem managing the file path name
