Can I save dash file in a memory stick?

Postby FoxSTI on Mon Nov 21, 2016 11:35 am

I have to computers (laptop and desktop) and I want to be able to work on both machines whenever I change my dash.
more often then not I will use the laptop to flash the car and the desktop to edit.

I have tried google driver to store the files, but havent had much success.
Apparently dash manager "imports" the file and doesn't export it unless specified. - So where does it save the changes locally?

anyone doing this with success?

After you save the file, go back in to the "Save as" dialog and instead of saving it you will see the option to export the file. In this case all exporting the file does is just save it in a different location to the default on the dash manager uses so you can use that to save it to your desktop or direct to a USB stick. Reverse the process at the other end, or just browse to it when you open the file on the other PC.

It is not really an "export" as such, you can browse to the default folder and copy it from there direct under Windows.

I have actually found it easier to upload the file to the dash and when you want to work on it on another PC, download it from the dash and save that as it reduces problems with version control, you always know that the one you are tweaking from is the version you were last using.
