Hello,
I have produced an edited DDF file, but cannot store it in the folder with the others - I seem unable to change the 'Read only' permission, despite several attempts to change this.
Is there a way of directing the program to load ddf files from a different location?

Hello,
Where did you try to store it? Did you use the Link to the DDF Folder that was created by the Installer?
The DDFs should be placed in the Profile Path which should not be write protected.
Regards
Arne

Hi!
Thats not what Arne was talking about. Try it with:
%AppData%\DMXControl Projects e.V\DMXControl\Kernel\UserDevices
(Yes, thats the path to type in at your explorer-window
)Hoc

Since I think 3.1.2 we seperated the DDFs that we "Shipped" and the ones the User adds by himself into seperate Folders. This is due to the write protection stuff and also it helps us keeping the Shipped DDFs up-2-date as we can simply overwrite them.
So your root cause was you tried to put the files into the wrong folder.
-
The library ID should not be a problem, for custom DDFs you can just remove it. The ID is added automatically when you upload your DDF to the Library, but DMXControl should ignore it.
Perhaps there is a bug within your DDF, you can open the Kernel window and check if you can see an error message there. Wrong DDFs are not shown in the add device dialog.
-
They are show with an "Error", if the XML Structure is invalid. If the XML Structure is fine but there is something wrong with the values a Detail Dialog is displayed if you try to add the device. Nevertheless if you are unsure, you can upload the DDF here, so someone else can try and we rule out whether it's a DDF issue or not.
