Chapter 20: Shows and File Management

D-Show lets you store, recall and transfer D-Show system set-
tings. There are three types of information files that can be 
managed separately, as follows:

Show Files 

These files are used to store, recall and transfer 

D-Show system settings, snapshot, and events. 

Preset Files 

These files are used to store settings for built-in 

processors and plug-ins, and Recall Safe Scope Sets.

Console Setting Files 

These files are used to transfer or back up 

the current state of the D-Show system. 

Creating Shows

A Show file contains all console settings, including configura-
tion, signal routing, mixer settings, plug-in information, 
snapshots, and other operational settings. Shows are grouped 
together in Show Folders. 

Show Folders

Show Folders contain Show files. You can create and manage 
Show Folders from the Save tab of the Filing page. 

Creating Show Folders

To create a new Show Folder:

1  

Go to the Filing page and click the Save tab.

2  

In the Show Folders column, click the New button.

3  

Type a name for the Show Folder and press Enter.

Duplicating Show Folders

To duplicate a Show Folders:

1  

In the Show Folders column, click a Show Folder name to se-

lect the folder.

2  

Click the Duplicate button.

The folder and all of the Show files it contains are duplicated.

Renaming Show Folders

To rename a Show Folder:

1  

In the Show Folders column, click a Show Folder name to se-

lect the folder. 

2  

Click the Rename button.

3  

Type a new name for the Show Folder and press Enter.

Deleting Show Folders

When you delete a Show Folder, all Show files contained in 
that folder are also deleted.

To delete a Show Folder:

1  

In the Show Folders column, click a Show Folder name to se-

lect the folder. 

2  

Click the Delete button. 

D-Show does not need to be in Config mode to carry out file 
management tasks. However, many file management oper-
ations, including loading Shows, may interrupt audio 
throughput. Make sure to perform all file management 
tasks before a performance.

Show Folders and Show files in the Save tab of the Filing page

You can also duplicate folders by right-clicking a Show 
Folder name and choosing Duplicate.

You can also rename Show Folders by right-clicking a Show 
Folder name and choosing Rename, or by double-clicking a 
Show Folder name. 

You can also right-click a Show Folder name and choose 
Delete to delete the folder.
