Importing Templates and Backgrounds
OK, I have a copy of the "Carousel Media Packages" on my new machine. How do I import/install individual templates or backgrounds to the system?

Inappropriate?New Stuff....
Where is it? And yes How??? -
Inappropriate?I'm not entirely sure of the exact directory that the new media packages live, but I think it's something like D:\TRMS\CarouselMediaPackages
In any case, if you head over to the "Media" section of Carousel 5, and switch to the "Zone" tab, you can upload the zip files using the "Add Media Package" option. That will install the media on whichever zone you're currently in.
Note that the packages come in a variety of aspect ratios, so, choose the package that best fits your zone dimensions.
Hope this helps,

Inappropriate?Ooh, I just remembered: I wrote this all up already! [:D]
The Carousel Quick Start Guide outlines the entire process in the "Step 3: Adding Media" section.
The Quick Start Guide (plus the official Carousel manual) should be installed in the "D:\TRMS\Documentation" directory.

Inappropriate?JR,
Thanks, but that doesn't answer the question.
How do I upload INDIVIDUAL templates and backgrounds from the media package?
If I upload the whole package, I will then have to go in and delete all the duplicates.
Would it be as simple as making a copy of the folder and deleting the ones we don't want, or is there a way to upload individual files?

Inappropriate?Sorry, I missed the "individual" part.
Hmm, the short answer is, to upload an individual item, you'd have to create a new media package zip file (with the same directory structure inside!) containing the single item.
But I guess I don't quite get your particular use case... Why do you want to upload an individual file from our provided media packages? If you've already uploaded the package, all the files should be in your system already, so there's no need to upload an individual one again. If you haven't yet uploaded it, there won't be any duplicates created when you do upload it.
