Losing page&buttons after power failure [fixed]
Posted: 06 April 2012, 17:22
Support,
Last week I was putting together a show rather quickly by adding stock scenes and creating a few new ones into live while making Macros for all the look/features I want.
And then the unexpected happened, a storm blew the power out in the theatre. Once I got the power restored and booted up my computer everything I had put into Live was gone from the time I opened ShowXpress to the power failure.
I didn't lose any scenes I had made in that time, any changes to fixtures profiles, nor did I lose any changes to my Input and Output Patches. Just the Live buttons.
It seems as though as I make buttons the must be stored in a temp file somewhere and not properly saved until I close Live. A scene when done, is saved or discarded, I get it. But when a button is made why isn't it saved? Why do I now need to take notes as I make buttons and Macros (to recreate if I have a power failure again or computer lock up) and shut Live down every now and then to make sure my progress is saved?
(Yes I know I should have an uninterruptible power supply for power outages but computer freezes and lock ups do happen as well)
Thanks!
