User libraries
User libraries
A user library contain all data that may be modified by the user, except for a few installation wide data
files such as hardware setup parameters. Using different libraries means that individual setups and
programs may be kept totally separate. Changing to a different user library requires a restart of
LightJockey.
After start up, LightJockey displays the current user library in the caption of the main window.
Main window caption. Current user library is "Default".
It is not possible to share or import data from different libraries. It is not advisable to manually copy or
move files from Windows explorer. The different data structures of LightJockey are often very
dependent on each other, and may not function if copied from different libraries. In any case don't ever
copy or move files while LightJockey is running - if, in special cases, it is necessary to copy or move
files, make sure that LightJockey is closed down first.
The User Library dialog is accessed from the main system menu (System -> User libraries..).
The user library dialog
The leftmost column of the list shows the (user-selectable) name of the library. The middle column
shows the Windows folder path while the rightmost column shows the creation date of the library.
The Default Library
The default user library is a special user library. It cannot be renamed or deleted. If the default library
is not present at startup, LightJockey will automatically create a new default library. Upon starting up
after initial installation LightJockey will always use the default library - further libraries must be created
by the user.
Creating a new user library
To create a new library, click Create New Library - this will prompt a new dialog.
New user library dialog
Type the new name of the new library. Check copy files to automaticallyl copy all data files from the
current to the new library, esentially creating a copy of the current library.
