364 14. Transitions

For Windows XP and previous:

C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application
Data\Photodex\Transitions
These folders are going to be hidden by default in Windows regardless of
which version you’re using. If you want to see these folders you need to
enable the Show Hidden Files and Folders option in Windows Explorer.
Inside this application data style folder, you’ll notice a sub-folder named
‘Cache’, which may contain copies of some of your transitions. This folder is
used by ProShow to speed up work with transitions, and contains
temporary files. You can delete this folder any time you like – ProShow will
recreate it as needed. Be careful, however, not to change the contents of
the Cache folder, as adding, deleting or changing the contents of this
temporary folder may result in unexpected behavior with your effects.

Note: PXT files are stored in two different folders on your PC to protect your
transitions and follow Windows best practices for storing user application
data. The transitions that ProShow comes with are installed in the normal
program folder. The transitions that you create or add are all saved in the
‘AppData’ folder. That’s because the AppData folder contents don’t change
when you uninstall or reinstall ProShow. This gives you the ability to
remove or change ProShow without accidentally deleting all of the
transitions you downloaded or created.
Built-in transitions cannot be removed, but they can be hidden using the
editing window.

If a transition exists in both the application data folder and in the program
folder with the same name, the transitions from the application data folder
is always used.

You can determine which location any given transitions is located in by
looking at the details displayed in the Effects (FX) window when that effect
is selected.
