Paul B. Anderson Posted May 8, 2010 Posted May 8, 2010 If there is a thread about this, please direct me, i've looked a little...What I am trying to do is simply clean up a bit. I have moved my sequences to a laptop via disc/flash drive from a PC; but I have a mess. One problem is that when opening LOR, the sequences that show up are the LOR Demos, and a separate folder w/my other sequences - how do I make that folder disappear, and just open that folder on startup; I mean along w/the demos, this folder should be open w/all sequences, not open a seperate folder...I don't wanna have to look around and search for stuff, it should all be right there.Next - specifically what ".xxx" (audio) files does LOR look for to run? There are several ".xxx" files avail. for the audio, and I want to direct it to the correct one, and not have to search for it every time I open the sequence. I have tried to "click and drag" an audio file to the LOR audio folder, and it says "file already exists", but I have to direct it to the other folder every time, even after saving the sequence.p.s. I use Audacity for all audio, so that may be creating other folders/audio not needed...??Paul B. Anderson, just trying to clean up, get rid of extra crap...
Don Posted May 8, 2010 Posted May 8, 2010 Okay, going to make some educated guesses here. I presume you are talking about the setup of your laptop and the LOR files.When opening a sequence, LOR looks in the Windows Registry to determine what directory it needs to open. To change this, you want to open your Light-O-Rama program directory, (usually C:Program FilesLight-O-Rama) and run the "LORPost.exe" file. This will mimic the first time you opened the sequence editor, and give you a chance to reset the directories.A note about audio: Since you moved the audio files to a new computer the path might not be the same. If that is the case, then you have no choice but to re-associate the media with the sequence each time. If the directories are the same, the LORPost.exe program will have fixed the issue.If after saving a sequence (and not moving files around) you are having to re-associate the audio with the sequence, something has gone haywire. I would suggest an re-install.As for what audio files LOR will support, I would open your sequence editor, and click on "New -> New Musical Sequence" Look near the bottom for the "All Supported Files" drop-down and click there. As you will see, there are way too many to me to type out here, but those are the ones LOR will support.
Paul B. Anderson Posted May 10, 2010 Author Posted May 10, 2010 Thanks Don,I was able to clean up all unneeded files by starting over again, without re-installing the software. I basically deleted all sequence and audio files - somehow way too many folders had appeard As for my second question, I didn't need to know what audo files are supported (thank-you, though), but rather which ones to keep - there were soooo many...e.g., Mysong_data, Mysong.lpx, Mysong.bak, Mysong....ect., all belonging to the same song. Sooooooo, I just deleted all, went back to my PC, and selectively copied files to a flash drive, and dropped them into a single folder for audio. Then I made a seperate folder for all ".bak" files. Everything seems to be working well now; we'll see.Thanx again, Don, for your response.Paul B. Anderson, a little less confused and cleaner now.
