Presets, search and remove unused

Post by neilnotts »

Hi Dave and fellow DMXIS/Show Buddy users and a happy new year to you all.

I'm doing a little housekeeping with my Show Buddy setup and have hit upon, what I think could be a useful feature. I don't know about you but I have a good few hundred masked presets in DMXIS and I know full well that at least a third of them are unused in any of my Show Buddy sets.

Could a "Search for unused presets" feature be added to look at the Show Buddy database and reconcile it against the DMXIS presets and mark all the unused ones in some way to make it quicker to identify and delete them?

Just a thought. Anyway, back to it!

Cheers

Neil

I too would second this feature. I have loads of DMXIS presets I do not use in Showbuddy and to be able to quickly identify them would make life much easier to delete any unnecessary ones.

Slow uptake on this one, I posted it on January lol.

Glad to hear it would be of interest to others

I design databases as a living so know first hand that tools to help clean up things are really important, at the moment I dont have very many presets but give me a couple of years :D

Good idea

I agree!! When I started programing sceens, I didn't take full advantage of the channel masking so I have lots of unused scenes.
