Using the GUI¶
The Save Show button immediately saves the show using the current show name.
There is a green input line in the top part of the Backup Menu. This is used to add information to the show file. This info is visible when loading or deleting a show file and can be used to mark different version or information to the saves.
It creates a backup of the previous saved show. Each show file (or unique file name) can have 10 backups. So it is possible to load a backup from ten saves ago.
Using the command line¶
A show file can be saved with the same name using the command line. The command is SaveShow. Read about it here.
Using the Quick Save function¶
There is also a fast way to save the show. It is called "Quick Save".
When the backup menu is not open then press the Backup key twice (like a double click on a mouse) will perform the Quick Save.
