390 13. Slide Styles

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 styles. This folder is used
by ProShow to speed up work with styles, 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 styles.

Note: PXS files are stored in two different folders on your PC to protect your
styles and follow Windows best practices for storing user application data.
The styles that ProShow comes with are installed in the normal program
folder. The styles 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. It gives you the ability to remove or change
ProShow without accidentally deleting all the styles you downloaded or
created.

If you edit or change a built-in style, the changes will be saved in the
application data folder. This protects the original installation, and ensures
that your changes won’t get lost if you reinstall ProShow. Built-in styles
cannot be removed, but they can be hidden using the editing window.

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

You can determine which location any given style is located in by looking at
the details displayed in the Manage Styles window when that style is
selected.
