Where does import fixture file live?

Post by jjbutera »

I imported a fixture file (*.pff) just fine. I'm able to open it in the fixture creator/editor. I'd like to view the actual *.fxt file in a text editor but I can't seem to find it on disk. I thought it would be in the FreeStyler/Fixtures folder, but it isn't. The reason I'd like to view the file is because I want' to attempt to reorder the macros. There doesn't appear to be a way to do so using the editor. Where do the imported fixture files live?

Okay, I've got FreeStyler installed in my Program Files directory. Windows won't let programs write data after install into this directory. It actually writes to C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\FreeStyler\Fixtures folder which is basically also used as a source when the application is reading the Program Files directory.

You can modify the directory permissions on the Program Files (x86)\FreeStyler to allow the program to write into this directory, rather than the AppData\Local\VirtualStore location.
