Where is the KDMD file stored if I choose "save to KDM Creator tool's list"

Post by osayan »

Hi Carl,
I have install the newest test version DOM.But in the last week, it has some errors in DCP creator progress.So I installed the stable version insted.
But now in KDM creator list,there is no DKDM listed.Where can I find these files that created by the test version DOM?
Regards,
Michael

They may have been lost when reverting from the test version to the release version, since the config file of the test version is not compatible with the release version. So, when you first start the release version after reinstallation, you get a message about the config file being recreated. I don't know if DOM keeps a backup when doing that. DKDMs for KDM Creator are stored in the config file.

Go to preferences in Edit tab; it will open a dialogue box with 7 tab; in the General tab you see the screen and cinema database file; click on file name(cinemas.xml) to choose and load the new database.

Backup the existing file there once more, then copy your previously working config file there. Make sure no DOM component is running while you do that.

Would be nice if Carl could fix the test version breaking the release config file.
