In case of an error caused by a defective *.ini file, it is recommended to simply
delete this *.ini file – a new one with the standard, basic settings is automatically
created on restart of the software.
The Options Window also has a “Reset Settings” tab which provides similar but also
more extended options for resetting the configuration file.
The file path to the active and loaded *.ini file is shown at the bottom of the Options
window, white letters on black background. This is a useful information, as it is
possible to create different *.ini files and thus store different configurations for future
easy access. So several configurations can easily be saved and re-loaded by using
the buttons “Export Settings” / “Import Settings”.
It is also possible to directly start Laserworld Showeditor with double-click on the very
*.Laser_ini file, which makes it very easy to handle different settings for e.g. different
venues, different hardware configurations, etc.
On importing other settings, they are automatically applied and stored. As the
previous configuration is overwritten with the new configuration being applied, it is
recommended to save this previous configuration if it should be preserved – prior to
importing new settings.
After the import has been successfully completed, a restart of the software is done
automatically.
The restart is necessary as a change in the hardware settings requires a re-
initialization, which can only happen on program startup.
Tab “Hardware” 8.2.
The tab “Hardware” has already been explained in a previous chapter, details can
be found in chapter 2.8.2
Tab “Text” 8.3.
The Tab “Text” provides basic configuration options for the text handling in
Laserworld Showeditor. Different options for creating text for use in frames and figures
are explained in Chapters 6.2.7 and 6.20.1.
The settings in this tab are general ones and apply for longer texts as well as for SMS
to laser display.
