determine resolume arena/avenue form composition

Post by Zoltán »

is there any way to determine if the composition creator was Arena or Avenue from the composition file only, if no internal effects are used?
for v5 it is clear, but for versions 4.2.2 and below is this possible?

I don't think that's possible. The files are designed to be interchangeable. Arena just stores additional info which Avenue ignores should it come across it. Until you save that Arena specific data, there's no way to tell the difference.

Out of curiosity, why do you need access to this info?

I'd like to add the possibility of collecting the screen setup to my composition collector, and this would help to get the right file, if there are multiple resolumes installed.
(Assuming the user uses the same name for the screen setup as for the composition.)
