not able to open old Location after upgrade 2.8.x -> 3.3.2

Post by Cha0s83 »

Good Morning everybody.

First I have to notice that I'm not so familuar with Freestyler.

Yesterday I had to upgrade our Freestyler 2.8.x to Freestyler 3.3.2. Now I'm not able to open old location files. Freestyler tells me "Invailded Location File; Wrong version".
Is there any way to keep this files working, because we don't want to create our 50 location files again.

I hope somebody is able to help us

Best regards
Dave from GERMANY

no becuasue of some BIG changes with freestyler the old location files and backup files does't work anymore.

but you can save all your Sequences and Cue file so you don't need to remake those.

you only need to Patch all the fixture's to the right location, and postions from Sequences and Cue's
Note: all the fixtures need to be patch the same way as in the old files.

If i'm not wrong, i only worked for mady 2month with Version2.x.x I'm more from 3.x.x

How can I patch the CUE and sequenz files?

If I try to open Sequenzfiles for my buttons via edit button and then open, I only get a list with no files in it.

you can find that on the pc you still run the old version on
by default it's located at C:/freestyler/Cue and c:/freestyler/sequence

now copy these file from the old version to the new version. in the same directorie

now you can select the old sequences and cue files in the new version of freestyler.
this sound me most logic to me, i'm not sure if it works.
