The Lighting Controller

Dear LC team,

Yesterday I mistakenly corrupted macro buttons because my finger clicked when I did not want. I corrupted several because I was updating a few buttons duration.

It would be terrific to have a "confirm update macro button" which can be enabled/disabled.

Use case 1 : preparing my ...

Thanks it seems to work at least 3D, I will do thorough testing. Your help much appreciated as always.

I have no longer access to this computer otherwise of course I would have use this very convenient functionality.
I managed to obtain the described file structures. I know there are a few files to edit. If you could help me you would avoid a big mess for an upcoming gig.
I truly appreciate your ...

Hello,

I can't access my main 64-bit computer but was given a backup of the entire Sweetlight directory. I need ti copy these back to my old 32-bit which was running Sweetlight recently.

I am now constrained to a manual copy files structures below.
Before I do anything real bad, can anyone ...

Correct file

Enclosed the faulty file. You will see that it starts with head "4" and ends with head "1"

I now recall I wanted to revert the order as moving heads appears in the reverse order i wanted. #1 was right and #4 was left. I wanted the opposite. So using Editor/Fixtures/Edit Fixture I moved each head ...

I look at the last modified fixture file from the faulty show
copied one I backed up recently

IT WORKS AGAIN :)

so this fixture file must have been corrupted.

Lessons Learned:
- frequent named backups, at least on config changes and major scene updates
- if this happens again I know 3Dview ...

I just did an important test:
- created a new lightshow on same computer
- copied fixtures.ini and fixtures directory from faulty directory to new lightshow : 3DView won't start ! That"s good information, problem is either in

fixtures.ini or one of the fixtures files.

OK I tried with the fixture.ini file from a running version which I copied on this lighshow and still does not work. So this seem to rule out the ficture.ini. What other files does 3Dview.exe read and load at process start ?

Great, many thanks.

So I found that 3DView loads from an almost identical fixtures file on same computer.
I am not 100% sure which files are used by 3Dview. At least fixtures file. As I do not want to copy the valid one to replace the other one, to avoid side effects, I will compare them manually ...
