Chases Tools

Is it possible to open the Chaser tools File (Using a text file or ????)

and move multiple Chases to different location in the file?

This would save me a lot of time.

If not is it possible for a Programer do it?

Thanks Steve

So this is Impossible? , Move, Delete, Copy and Paste?

How about a VB Programmer?

Hi,

the problem is, that DMXControl 2 saves its files in a proprietary format which can not be easily edited by other programs. Even a VB programmer does not know in which way this format shall be read. So unfortunately, you will have to move them by hand

Hi,

Same there. Same issue.

Also DMXControl 2 is written in VB6, where Microsoft canceled the development support already 12 years ago: https://www.eweek.com/developm…port-for-visual-basic-6.0

Right now, we don't even have a working development environment running for the DMXControl 2 series. The Software is as it is and there won't be changes or enhancements.

Even if you find somebody taking a look into the binary files, that person will also have to spend a couple of hours to get that "Move things around" program working without breaking anything. It is questionable whether overall that is really a time save if you take that persons time into account.

Regards
