Re: converting older versions of .vix files
If you have Vixen version 1.xxx sequences and would like to convert them to 2.xxx sequences you are in luck. KC has included a conversion file in the 2.xxx install. This is a self deleting file. It will run the 1st time a new install is opened and then delete itself after the conversions are completed. I do not recall the name off hand but will find it for you shortly. Wayne advised me the file name is prepare.exe. Now onto the conversion.
1. Download and install Vixen 2.xxx.
2. Once installed browse into the sequences folder of the new installation utilizing Windows Explorer.
3. Copy and paste your 1.xxx sequences into the 2.xxx sequences folder. Take notice of "copy and paste", this will ensure you do not lose any data in the event something goes wrong with the conversion process.
4. Copy and paste your music files from the Music folder of Vixen 1.xxx to the Audio folder of Vixen 2.xxx.
5. Right click on the Vixen 2.xxx .exe icon, the reindeer head, and "Send to Desktop". This will place a shortcut onto your desktop.
6. Close all the open windows.
7. Open Vixen 2.xxx by double clicking the reindeer head you just placed on the desktop.
8. Sit back and let Vixen convert your files.
9. Enjoy your newly converted sequences by opening them and let them run.
Thanks,
