Hi,

I have installed VDJ8 in the disco in my living room. Last weekend we had friends here and they made music on my VDJ. Unfortunately they have applied their favorite settings. Now I must search what they have changed.

It would be nice to have a store/load function of the settings. As the order and width of the lists are also stored in the settings, it would be easy to return to my standard setting.

Furthermore I could store their settings, so that I could load it if they are here and they feel home again.

Regards
Axel

Just keep a backup of settings.xml and restore it if anyone changes anything.

Would be useful though (as AxelFS says) to be have the ability to change between settings, in the same way you can change languages - For example I have my own modified English.xml in which I've changed some of the VDJ text.

I'd like to see settings profiles, especially if you could change via script. (one more step towards programming with mappers)

I'm in on this. Got my comments further down in Wishes under "Data Cloud Backup". +1

I agree on this!
it would be awesome if we could create a "log in" when we sign onto the software, like when we "unlock" it with our username and password, if my settings.xml file could be "cloud based" (the xml file is small) and brought into the version of VDJ8 I am using locally.... so if I go to another location, (yes, I currently have a backup of the xml file) but if the software brought MY settings xml file from the cloud with the VDJ registration, my settings could follow me.

EDIT:
OR
allow my settings to be read from my external drive with my music that I travel with instead of having to copy them to the local computer.

Axel - I had a few free hours and I have written a programme with a gui front end to do just that - it's nothing fancy but it works.

I wanted a way of saving the options when setting the video delay for different venues.






Is this what you are thinking of?

Hi, yes that would be good to get it tested - I have run it here and I can't make it fail.

Just make sure you take a backup of your settings.xml before testing.

You can download it here: http://www.vip-disco.co.uk/downloads/

I will send you the serial key by PM :)

Mark,

thanks for the program. I have installed it and it works fine.

I have found out, that it makes more fun now to try different settings in VDJ8, because it is simple to get back to the known working setup.

One thing: In the BACKUP function only the name of the file is shown, which I like.
In the RESTORE function the complete path is shown, inclusive filename and extension. You could leave the path and the extension away and show only the filename like in the BACKUP function.

Thank you very much for this tool.

Regards
Axel

Axel,

thank you for the feedback - I will see if I can make the changes - like you say it doesn't affect the operation.
I don't know if there is a general requirement for this programme and if there is, how to get it published on here is beyond me.

Great to know that it works for you.

Mark

Version 1.3 is now up - spent 2 hours looking through lines of code to find a syntax wrong - I'm learning.



Now with dropdown in restore mode without showing pathnames as requested.
