This article collects and answers various frequently asked questions that would otherwise only be found with a bit of searching in the {{DMXCWebLinks|Forum}}. This article is also somewhat dynamic, meaning that new questions are added irregularly, and outdated ones are removed.

= Getting Started with DMXControl 3 =
=== Can I switch DMXControl 3 to German? ===
Yes. This has been possible since the release of DMXControl 3.2. To do so, open the settings for the GUI via {{Manual_MenuText|Settings|Application Settings|GUI}} and change the entry {{Manual_Objectcaption|Language}} to {{Manual_Fields|de-DE}}. After restarting the GUI, the German user interface will be loaded.
If you install DMXControl 3 on a PC for the first time, the GUI will even start directly with the German user interface.
Due to the growing number of users from all over the world, it was decided to develop DMXControl 3 in English first. The translation into other languages, including German, was carried out in a second step.

=== How can I add my own DDFs to DMXControl 3? ===
For self-created DDFs, there is the directory {{Manual_Filepath|UserDevices}}. Where this directory is located and how to access it quickly is described in the article {{Manual_Windowcaption|[[Device_Manager_DMXC3#Wichtige_Merkmale|Device Manager (Add device dialog)]]}}.

=== My device XYZ does not appear in the device list. What can I do? ===
For each device, there is a so-called {{Manual_Windowcaption|[[DDF_DMXC3|Device Definition File]]}}, or DDF for short. This must be created for each device. Some devices have their DDFs available in the {{Manual_Windowcaption|{{DMXCWebLinks|DDFLib}}}}. If not, you have to create the DDF yourself. There is corresponding {{Manual_Windowcaption|[[DDF_DMXC3#Grundlagen|guidance in the DMXC Wiki]]}} for this.

=== How do I set up my MIDI controller to receive feedback? ===
DMXControl 3 currently does not support feedback for MIDI controllers. This means that it is not yet possible to visualize, for example, through the color of a button on a MIDI controller whether a {{Manual_Windowcaption|[[Cuelist_DMXC3|Cuelist]]}} is currently running or whether a specific {{Manual_Windowcaption|[[Device_DMXC3|Device]]}} is selected. If you need such feedback, you currently have to rely on the {{Manual_Windowcaption|[[Softdesk_DMXC3|Softdesk]]}} or a macro board such as the {{Manual_Windowcaption|[[Stream_Deck_DMXC3|Stream Deck]]}}.

= Software Development =
=== When will the next version of DMXControl 3 be released? ===
We always try to provide a rough schedule for the next release. However, since this is a volunteer software project, the professional obligations and personal circumstances of the team members take priority over association activities and work on DMXControl 3. Additionally, during an ongoing beta test, many small bugs are often discovered, requiring improvements before a new version can be released.
As soon as a new version is available, it will be sufficiently announced through our well-known news channels. Therefore, it is always worth checking the {{DMXCWebLinks|Forum|News-Category|4|DMXControl news section}} in the forum.

=== Is there a version of DMXControl 3 for Mac and Linux? ===
Currently, it is technically difficult to impossible to generate a complete Linux version of DMXControl 3. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, DMXControl uses the XNA framework<ref>More information on the XNA framework: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_XNA</ref> for graphics rendering and processing. This does not run on Linux, meaning that all components relying on XNA will not work under Linux. This includes GUI components such as the {{Manual_Windowcaption|[[Stage_View_DMXC3|Stage View]]}}, {{Manual_Windowcaption|[[Programmer_DMXC3|Programmer]]}}, {{Manual_Windowcaption|[[Input_Assignment_DMXC3|Input Assignment]]}}, as well as kernel components such as {{Manual_Windowcaption|[[Affinity_DMXC3|Gobo Correlation]]}} or {{Manual_Windowcaption|[[Matrix_DMXC3|Matrix Effects]]}}.
Another issue is the use of .NET Remoting<ref>More information on .NET Remoting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_Remoting</ref> for communication between the GUI and the kernel. .NET Remoting is also not Linux-compatible. Currently, porting DMXControl 3 is not possible.

=== Can I open a project from DMXControl 2 directly in DMXControl 3? ===
No, DMXControl 3 is not compatible with DMXControl 2. We have listed the most important differences here: [[Umstieg_von_DMXControl_2_zu_DMXControl_3|Transition from DMXControl 2 to DMXControl 3]]
