Can't load show file in new Titan install

[nigelj]

I've just installed Titan 9.1 on another laptop.

Can't load the last show file (last week's show), or the previous 2...I just get the fail to load message and an OK soft button.

Any idea why...have never had any problem opening show files on new Titan installs before?

Anyone!?

Anyone from Avo?

Olie, Gregory, niclights...any suggestion please?

In my experience this normally occurs when trying to load a show created in a later version or an autosave from a previous version. Was the show you are trying to load saved in v9.1 and is it a full save or an autosave?

[nigelj]

I think autosave...the latest show definitely was, not sure about the others.

Is quicksave a full save...I can't see an option called full save on the soft keys?

[niclights]

By 'full save' I just mean the inital version that you get when first saving the show/overwriting/using save as..

Quick saves are exactly the same as full versions and so should be forwards compatible.

If the show was created in an earlier version of Titan then a quicksave or initial version should load into later versions. Autosaves usually won't.

Thanks Nic, the quicksaves load just fine.

Fir the last show the auto save file was much bigger than the quick save so I assumed that was the one to copy to the new laptop!

It is true but misleading. The full saves are compressed which means they are smaller but the compression takes longer. They also contain more information, in particular the important information that allows them to be loaded into newer versions. The autosaves do not have this information and are uncompressed which makes them much faster to save.
