sean moss Report post Posted September 29, 2014 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 ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Report post Posted September 29, 2014 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. this information from Fredrik~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Fahl Report post Posted November 24, 2014 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. Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eersoy Report post Posted April 18, 2016 DFC_Data, not DFC_DATA At least not on 5.5.2 Cheers Efe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
