Recover Show.

[sean moss]

HI All,

Is it possible to recover a show from the show cache.

 I Have been working on WO show running windows 7 in a VMware on my mac over the weakened. I had my WO show file and all my media on a USB as we were going to transfer the show to our production PC to day. And i opened up the show on the USB only to find all the work i did last night is missing.

 

Do I have to start over or can I recover it ?

hi moss~!

 

Rebuilding from display server show folder:

 

1. rename the spec file DFC_DATA(no file extension)

2. Zip the file

3. Rename the resulting zip file to ***.watch.

Hi everybody,

i try to do the same manipulation but when i try to open my new file project i got a message :

"invalid file data format. shows make on older versions of watchout.must first be saved using version 2.3"

I did this project in version 5.5 and i try to open on the same version.

Any idea ??

Thanks

I'll guess your recovered Showfile is corrupted.

Make sure you zip the file itself. Not the folder it's in. I.e., the DFC_DATA file must be at the "top level" inside the zip.

DFC_Data, not DFC_DATA

 

At least not on 5.5.2
