I must admit, that when considering John's request initially, this is the way I had pictured this going. But when it comes down to it, I think you will see the power of just selecting Groups of fixtures is WAY less work on both ends.eedetail wrote:Could it not be as simple as adding a check box under each slider in editor,

I think that is what I would like to see. Then my chases i could easily re-configure
to pass thru the master fader, but not affect scenes including moving head fixtures.
Like Support, this is very hard to describe. So what I don't see is how selecting groups could hurt you? 1 group contains whatever fixtures you group together. So you get all the sliders at once. So the challenge (to justify the project) is why would selecting Groups impact the feature.
So the test you can do right now in Editor is grab a group of fixtures, set the color on the wheel and use that intensity slider. WITH consideration given to the fact that your color will stay the same and only a % reduced, what are you unable to do with this method? That answer is what support needs to hear in order to change the plans.
Othen times, a limit is just an operators (you and I) take on how to use the feature. When I read that #3 description, I think this will be simple for others to use on the fly, easy to implement and what many users have been asking for. For now, like Support, I don't see a benifit of making things that much more complicated, just to select every individual chanel.
