Does anyone know how to convert a TSU-7000 PCF file into a format that the TSU-3000 can use?

I want to take all the work I did for my TSU-7000 and map it over to my older TSU-3000 so I can use it with my system upstairs and have a similar look and feel (more wife friendly). If I can't at least map over the basic structure and then clean up the graphics, I'll basically have to start from scratch.

Here is a partial post that answers the question:

These are the changes I Made
These values in ConfigEdit.xml

Right at the top:
!--written by ProntoProEdit NG--
!--written by ProntoEdit NG--

ConfigurationFile Mode="ADVANCED" Version = "3"
ConfigurationFile Mode="ADVANCED" Version = "2"

The Heading for the strings section:
Strings xml:space="preserve"
Strings

In the Roots section:
ProductID>TSU7000ProductID>TSU3000
And change these comments in winrar or winzip
Type: 007
Type: 003

Version: 003.00
Version: 002.00

This worked for me. All I wanted from it were IR codes so I didn't even look at the graphics and how they converted. Good luck

Thanks! I'll give it a shot and see if it works. I'm expecting I'll have to rework the graphics quite a bit, but at least all the structure, button placement, etc. should be intact.

I *THINK* that changing the zip comment should be enough to get it to load...

Daniel,

You are right that just changing the ZIP comment field will allow it to load into the TSU-3000 editor. However, the spacing of all the icons, buttons, and panels gets really screwed up. It looks like everything defaults to location 0,0.

Obviously, this does no good since the location of everything is the most important aspect of converting over.

By following jcl's proceedures, I was able to successfully pull the file back over. The editor gets a bit confused with colors, which causes transparency problems. I would suggest that anyone doing this first convert the graphics to grayscale (I used the batch function in Photoshop to automate this), and them punch it over to the TSU-3000 editor. I also manually changed all the transparency coding of all the graphics to Upper Left Corner in the Config.xml file to avoid the the Alpha references for the TSU-7000 (it will default to No Transparency instead, which can cause a lot of touch up work).

Doing this still required a bit of touch up work, mostly with the graphics and transparencies, but I was able to get it worked out in a couple of days versus starting from scratch.

The change to the "Strings section" is no longer needed. I sent these steps prior to the 3000 having the text position options. The text position will be preserved if you leave it.

Looks like you have a old version of PENG. Try the latest one v2.0.6 at the philips pronto site.
