the show, loading the show may take some time.
Note: Once you load a show, if you don’t change the current drive and directory you can use
[ARCHIVE] {SAVE SHOW}
{SAVE SHOW} to save the show periodically to the same drive and directory.
Local Disk Functions
Although shows are saved by default to the “shows” directory on the local disk, you can add
directories, change them for saving shows, and delete directories and shows as needed to
help you organize your shows.
You can have up to 200 directories on your local disk, and can save up to 200 shows per
directory, depending on the capacity of the local disk and the size of your shows. Remember
that each backup copy of a show counts as one copy of the show.
The console already has a directory on the local disk called “Shows,” where the shows are
most commonly stored.
The topics covered in this section are as follows:
❍ Creating a Local Disk Directory
❍ Copy a Show
❍ Delete a Show from the Local Disk
❍ Delete a Local Disk Directory
❍ Formatting a Floppy Disk
❍ Write Protecting the Floppy Disk
Create a Local Disk Directory
You can create a subdirectory within the current directory by using the {MAKE DIR} key. You
may want to do this to help organize your show database and save similar shows in separate
directories.
Press [ARCHIVE] {BROWSE FILES} to get to the LCD Browse menu.
