Importing Gobo Images

ralfrottmann · Feb 4th 2022

In this video, Daniel shows how to import custom Gobo images. However, the folder [external]/shared/lib_fixture_types does not exist on my USB stick. I have exported a show and other fixture types to the external storage and the typical MA folder structure has been created. But this folder is not there. Has this changed? Where are we supposed to place Gobo image files then?

The folder structure changed in v1.5.

Internal drive of onPC:

C:\ProgramData\MALightingTechnology\gma3_library\fixturetypes\gobos

USB stick:

D:\grandMA3\gma3_library\fixturetypes\gobos

Thanks, Ryan Kanarek! Is the shared folder completely obsolete then? It’s still been created, so I wonder.

The shared folder contains the data the installation brings with itself (e.,g, predefined macros, predefined MAtricks, etc. pp). Please do not delete it, as the software needs the files within the shared folder, especially within the shared/resource folder.
For user data the gma3_library folder is the correct place.
