5.7 Shows Tab

The Shows Tab serves as the central hub for managing show files on the console. It provides options to open, save, save as, import, export, or delete shows. Additionally, it offers a convenient way to quickly open existing shows.
This tab is accessible via the Menu menu icon through the top toolbar.

In the Shows Tab, all saved shows on the console's internal storage are displayed in a table format.

To locate a specific show, you can use the search bar to filter the list by name or adjust the sorting order for easier navigation. Selecting a show is as simple as clicking on its entry in the list. This intuitive interface streamlines the process of managing and accessing your show files.
