Post question

[Justin Beebe at Folsom Tool]

I hear people reccommend that you should always make a copy of a post before you make changes to it. My question is should you just make a copy the post customization file and rename it, or should you also make a copy of the post text file and rename it with the same name as the post customization file.

 

Thanks again

Personal preference. Some will "customize" a post and rename it such as, "Okuma P1". This way they will always have the original to fall back on under its original name.

I personally would copy both files and rename the active post, so the original is still named the same and the modded ones have some postfix added to the name..

If working previous to X, I would back-up the post and the .txt file.

 

In many cases if the post has been modifies so has the .txt file, you wouldn't want to lose those changes.

 

In X the post id likely enough however in X2 where control is now being ceded from the post to the machine/control defs more it would be smart to back up t he machine def/control def AND the post.

 

You cannot be too safe when it comes to a post that is proven and you're simply trying to tweaki it some more.

Thanks everyone,

 

I have a lot to learn about customizing post processors. I really appreciate all the help I get in this forum.
