DMXQConnect .

The File menu deals with the functions of saving, retrieving, and deleting
individual patch files. Exiting the DMXQConnect program is also done from the
File menu.
New Show
Opens the New Show dialog box and erases the currently loaded patch data
from the work area. You are prompted for a name and description for the new
show. Show names of up to 20 characters (including spaces) are supported.
Open Show
Opens the Open Show dialog box containing the names of all show patch files
in the database. The user highlights a show file name and loads it into the
work area by clicking Open. Shows can also be deleted from this dialog box.
Rename Show As
Used to save the current show with a new name.
Save Show As
This function can be used to make the current show the base for a new show
by entering the name of the new show. Conversely, if the show name is left
unchanged, the current show is saved as a separate file and “stamped” with
the current date and time. A given show name can be used any number of
times as all show names are stored in a queue, with the oldest files on top and
the newest at the bottom of the list.
Create Backup
If you wish to archive your DMXQConnect database, this is where it’s done.
Note that this process archives all show patches and configuration data.
