The Avolites Discussion Forum

I am running TitanOne on a Lenovo YOGA 2 i5 laptop (Windows . It had been working fine but as of yesterday, patch mode & view window search does not find any fixture personalities, there are no manufacturers listed etc. I have uninstalled & reinstalled the pcsuite and fixture library but still no joy.
From file manager I can see fixture files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Avolites\Titan\FixtureLibrary.. This of course makes it difficult create new shows.. was planning to use it for a small event on Sunday/Monday.

If the fixtures are in the folder and you have closed/restarted Titan since installing the library then then that's odd. I can only think it's looking in the wrong place. What happens if you copy some to My Documents\Titan\Personalities? (close and relaunch Titan after copying if already open)

I have restarted both TitanOne and the laptop many times. There isn't a MyDocuments top level folder, there is a Documents with the following sub folders /Titan/License, /Titan/Shows & /Titan/Personalities.. There are fixture files in the /Documents/Titan/Personalities folder, they are not visible in Patch mode/view.

Thanks

Titan only indexes new files on startup which is why restart it is important but if that doesn't work then something else is going on.

Can you patch a dimmer?

Okay, sort of solved.. Seems that one or more of my custom fixture files in \Documents\Titan\Personalities is messing up the fixture indexing process.
Patch mode works fine if I move all the files out of that directory and restart TitanOne.

Thanks

Ok, great. If you look at the logs using log viewer there might be more information on exactly which file was causing problems.
