in the reference manual I read, actions are stored with shows. how can it then be, that in a show, that I have never created actions in, had actions from the previous loaded show in it? bug? feature?
also some cuelists made it from one show to the other. strange.
has it to do, that this newly loaded file was created with 1.98 and has never been saved with 2.01 before?
Yes, recalling V1.9x or earlier Shows will not reset new V2 or later features. You should get a message to this effect when recalling your Show.
To clear the Actions you can use a template Show as a step e.g. recall FoH template, then recall the V1.9x Show.
