Steven Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I change the schedule by copying a different weeksched.lsc file by running a BAT file with something like this: C:\Light-O-Rama>COPY /Y weeksched-Christmas.lsc weeksched.lsc or C:\Light-O-Rama>COPY /Y weeksched-Halloween.lsc weeksched.lsc The trouble is, the LOR control panel sometimes seems to ignore this change, and just sits there showing the "Next Activity" as what it was before. In order to get it to change, I have to start the schedule editor and click "Save". Why does this work sometimes, but not other times? Is there something I can do from a BAT file to "poke" the control panel to make it notice immediately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsMeBobO Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I suggest a touch to set the time to current. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried that (using COPY /Y weeksched-Christmas.lsc+nul weeksched.lsc) but it didn't seem to work last night, on the show computer. I'm going to restart Light-O-Rama and see if that fixes the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsMeBobO Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I do something like this changing the show (.lss) file instead. The player always detects it immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 I found the problem. I forgot the /B (binary) option to the COPY command. When the file is copied in text mode (the default), it adds a DOS newline to the end of the file, which confuses the show player (and the schedule editor). Now it works as expected.
