Hi!
I’m wondering where the global rack is saved. I have Cantabile installed on two computers and wanted to copy all my created songs (and the global rack settings) to the second pc, but the global rack is missing.
Wouldn’t it be a good idea to create a file for it saved in the rack folder where the other racks are saved? Or at least some kind of global rack subfolder. That would give us the opportunity to save multiple global racks and to switch between them (i.e. for different bands with different settings)
Related follow-on question. I have Cantabile running on two identical machines (redundant backup), which I keep synced using Dropbox, and so obviously I would want the Cantabile global rack to be synced also. If I change this settings folder to a common synced folder in Dropbox, could this cause problems? In other words, can two Cantabile installations share all of the files in this folder safely?
Feels to me like the global rack maybe should live in the same place as “normal” racks, or else have a setting explicitly for choosing the global rack location, in Options->Songs. Or even allow the global rack to be specified as a parameter stored in the setlist.
Not really, although the settings are typically tied to the hardware you have connected, but if you have the same setup on each machine I can’t see why this would cause problems.
Of course, you’re right…I wrote that post while I was at work, away from Cantabile, working from memory. So yes, not apparently possible currently to do this kind of syncing in any easy way.
Ok, another question… since you can place the global rack file with your other rack files and now can have multiple global rack files what would happen if you loaded an unused global rack file into a regular slot by accident? Should there be or is there a safety mechanism for this scenario?
