Sharing Presets

[Mumford Disben]

I'm working collaboratively with a group of friends and we are looking
for a solution using dropbox where we can amend prestos and ensure
every one in the group gets the changes. At the moment we have to
copy the contents of our presets folder to a dropbox folder and
communicate that an update has been made, but this presents problems
with ensuring we are all working off the latest source of truth.

Is there a way to change the default location of where DMXIS looks for
it's presets so we could store them within our dropbox folder ensuring
everyone is working off the same data?

I'd like to know the location/file also for backup and sharing
purposes. Such as "Hey here is a cool preset for 4 color was
fixtures, check it out."

I was just about to post this question then realised I already had.

 

Does anyone know how to do this?

On the Mac, all your code appears at

 /Library/Application Support/ENTTEC/DMXIS

Again on the Mac, I have had very good success in the past with other programs by using a "symbolic link" (explanation here: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=2001110610290643) to link my common code to the library code.

You could do it in the terminal or a shell script like this:

YOUR_LOCATION="/Users/you/Public"

DMXIS_LOCATION="/Library/Application Support/ENTTEC/DMXIS"

sudo mv "$DMXIS_LOCATION" "$YOUR_LOCATION"

sudo ln -s "$YOUR_LOCATION/DMXIS" "$DMXIS_LOCATION"

Pretty geeky though.

Another way is to just check the code in DMXIS into a github repository and do your synchronization that way... even better but pretty geeky... :-D
