Save & Save File...

Edward Updated by Edward

To access show file operations, tap or click the Options button in the lower left corner of the main display and the following menu will appear:

Save

If any changes have been made to the current show since it was loaded, the name shown in the Channel Display will have an ”*” at the end and this option will be armed. When chosen, an archive copy of the original show file is created with “_REVn” appended to the show name, where “n” is a digit starting at 1 and incremented for each save operation. This allows the user to load previous versions of the show file if desired.

Save File…

Opens a dialog window with options to save the current show in several formats as described below.

Save Show

This tab is selected by default when Save File… is chosen from the Options menu. Enter the name of the file you wish to save in the edit box and if you click on the Save button, saves the current show with the new name, closes the current show and the newly named show becomes the current show loaded into the active database.

NEO Notes & Tips: If you select an existing show file, all information will be overwritten by the “Current Show”. A warning dialog will inform you if you are about to overwrite an existing show.

If you click on the Save Copy button, saves a copy of the current show with the new name but keeps the current show in the active database.

Save Packed Show

This tab is used to create a file with an “.nps” extension that contains the show file, system settings and all related media files. The packed file may be used to clone the exact setup from one console running NEO to another.

Save Template

If you have standard show elements, such as patch, groups, cues, effects, palettes, macros, etc. that you use in every show, you may wish to save them as a template which can be loaded as the starting point for a new show. Use this tab which will create a template file with the extension “.ntf” in a separate directory (“…\Documents\NEO Templates”). To retrieve a template, use the New Show tab of the Open File dialog.
