How to copy from one .qxw file to another
Posted: Wed Nov 29, 2017 5:16 am
Hi Guys,
This issue may already be addressed elsewhere on the forum but I could not find an answer to my question.
Example, I have created two files (workspace) with different sequence steps to be used in a light show. I would like to reuse the sequences by copying the information from one workspace to another. QLC seems to not allow copying a sequence to the clipboard and then pasting into a different file/workspace. Is there an import capability that could solve this issue for me. I don't want to manually recreate the sequence into the second file since it is a very long, consisting of almost one hundred steps involving multiple fixtures.
Maybe there is a simpler way to accomplish what I wan to achieve but I'm relative new to QLC, so this is how I chose to build the light show.
I tried editing the .qxw files using Microsoft Wordpad and copying the fixture definition, function definition, and sequence steps values from file 1 to file 2 but the results was less that successful. Basically I used Wordpad to open one .qxw file, located the desired sequence steps, copy it into file 2 and modifying the data where necessary so it would properly match with the ID values of the fixture, scene, and sequence of the second file. This was only partially successful.
Thanks.
