FAQ

The export feature of Laserworld Showeditor is linked to the very permission settings per show / figure. Please see the user manual for info on how to do the permission settings. The rights for exporting figures from Laserworld Showeditor to ILDA files must be granted by the creator of the figure / show.

But be careful: If the active laser show is protected against ILDA export and you create a new figure in this show (same folder), this figure also becomes protected! So it is not possible to export it any more.

To make the export work, first create a completely new folder, then create new figures within this folder. Do NOT copy any protected figures to this folder, as the protectionc an then again span to the other files residing there.

Of course, if you have the rights to exporting the figures, it is no problem to o this from an existing show / figure set. However, most show programmers protect their ILDA figures and ILDA frames against copying, so export won't work without permissions granted by the copyright holder (can be applied per license number).

On ILDA export, there are six different options for the ILDA standard format to be chosen. Standard is 5, so it's highly recommended to use that one unless problems occur.

Exporting ILDA files for the use with the ShowNET interface as playback system:

The ShowNET interface handles the ILDA (*.ild) files in standard 5 format. The ShowNET interface requires specific file names for the ILDA files. They must be named this way:

1. file: 000.ild  
2. file: 001.ild
3. file: 002.ild
and so on.

The Laserworld ShowNET interface does not support custom filenames. They won't be recognized and won't be accessible.
