Watchfolder Autp update

Postby Prodigy911 » Sun Aug 30, 2015 2:11 pm

Hi guys,

question :

It is a large projection so we have 8 slices for the complete projection surface.
Every slice in in FullHD. The complete surface is about 10000px.

I got a timeline running - on this timeline there are a several program anouncements
fot the next week.

Layer 1 = Slice 1
Layer 2 = Slice 2
Layer 3 = Slice 3
Layer 4 = ..... and so on .

Every week we have to change these announcements. Of course we can do it
by drag and drop for all of these 80 cues - but it takes to much time.

Is there a chance to only change the files in the folder - name them different or the same
and tell pandoras box to kick out the "old" announcement and insert the new files to all containers
and layers ?

This would help us so much.

I already tried with the watchfolder - but i think i made a mistake or something - it´s not working.

Thanks - best.

Which Rev are you on.

In the Configuration Tab under Resources, there should be a checkbox called "Monitor changes to files on disk".
Make sure this is aktive.
You will also need the checkbox "Auto-Spread Resources after change to file" to be on.

Now you you should be able to change the file / overwrite it (same name is required) and the file should automaticly update inside PB and on the clients.

If this is not the case, please contact support and email you showfile (*.xml only) and manager logs to support(at)coolux.de.
