Where does Freestyler save the working set files ?

Post by jack63ss »

I am trying to share fixture files from one copy of Freestyler to another and am having an issue. I assumed ALL the fixture files were in the Fixture directory, but if I open a fixture using Fixture Creator or Freestyler I do NOT always get the data in THAT specific file. It is like the files are cached someplace else. For example, I went into the Fixture directory and deleted a fixture file. I assumed that when I started FC and tried to open it that I would get an error, but it got the old fixture info from someplace else ??? Where is the working set data kept and how do I update it ?
Thanks

you cannot just copy fixture files you must export them then open. If you are trying to move from 1 PC to another, do a backup/restore and it will pack all necessary files into the backup.
If you just want to copy a fixture file: Open file in fixture creator then select the export option.

FS checks for fixtures when it starts it isn't cached anywhere, if it's gone it's gone. It is saved in the fixtures directory of the main FS directey
