Hello all
Can anybody help me with the showfile I've created on v5 that's not working after upgrade to v6? Maby somebody can try to load it to v6 console, save it and then send it back to me. If somebody is willing to help please write your e-mail as a reply or contact me directly and I'll send my showfile.
my e-mail: fiodor@prolight.com.pl

I'm happy to take a look if you send it to me.

Does it actually return an error? There is an issue with the show loading screen which exits unexpectedly making it look like it hasn't worked but usually the show will still load if you wait. Because of the conversion process this could take quite a long time. I would wait a few minutes before giving up.

Hi
I've send you an e-mail with my showfile.
As for error it is the same on Tiger and Mobile: it loads, shows the loading showfile neat new screen, then drops just after uncompressing showfile from ZIP archive (first task when uploading), and shows "Titan failed to load the show" error. Funny thing is that I have more showfiles, and some of them work and some don't and that's really strange...
Many thanks for your help.

p.s. Just tried to load the showfile on Titan Simulator on iMac's bootcamp... and got the same error...

I have a similar problem with my Titan mobile. If I ok the error and then try again it works. Same thing happens in the simulator as well.

I've tried to open the showfile again and again after pressing ok after the error with no result, my case is hopeless...
@maniacdoug what error exactly do you get?

I've just loaded up the simulator and the autoload of the previous showfile fails with the error: "Failed to load show on startup. Please select another show or start a new show."

I then selected the last showfile I used on softkey A which then loaded successfully.

I'll happily try your showfile if you like. You can email it to maniacdoug at gmail dot com.

Yes, this actually happens nearly every single time I use my Titan Mobile. What works is that I re-load the same show file that I was using when I quit and it works fine.

It is a little disturbing to see, though, is there any way to fix this?

FWIW I have seen the same thing on simulator/mobile. However, it is not consistent and I'm not sure what the cause is. Typically, 'cannot load showfile' is specific to a bad shutdown where the shutdown showfile is not written and therefore cannot be read on startup. I am not convinced that is the reason in this case though.

Note that this is a separate issue to the original 'v5 show not loading in v6'.
