Hi everyone,
first of all: congratulations with this project!
I'm starting to use QLC+ in a small theatre and I'm very pleased with it.
As my contribution, I can only report some bugs and maybe do some requests for future versions..
in v4.6.1, I always have to create a chaser, then close the app en reopen it in order to add scenes or music to the chaser. A freshly opened chased has a greyed out OK button in the add selection screen.
Also, creating shows will crash my app and also blanks out the scenes I used trying to create the show.
I can add a scene in a new show, but when I try to add some music, I get an overlap error.
I have also have had a complete project that couldn't open anymore because of an system error (qlc+ crashed at openening the project). I had to manually remove the in the qxw-file in order to reopen the project...
As a request, I would like to propose a seperate lighting and sound signal in a single chaser.
For example, when you have a lightscene followed by a sound, the light scene should keep active.
Or when during a sound-play the light changes, the music should keep playing, until a new sound comes up
(in theater this happens very often). To fade the music at a certain moment, I could use a silent soundfile.
keep up the good work!
Chrs,
Frank

Hello Frank,
you haven't told us which operating system you're using.
OK button greyed out. Discussed here: http://sourceforge.net/p/qlcplus/discus ... /ddd4bf9f/
Fixed already.
Please try the latest development version: https://sourceforge.net/p/qlcplus/discu ... /62d7a2b5/
All the rest, please describe the exact steps to reproduce the issues and share the corrupted projects you're talking about
Thanks

Hi Massimo,
I'm using windows.
Attached, I'm adding a test project. When I open this and click on the "Shows" tab at the bottom, QLC hangs on my pc.
I'm going to give the latest version a try!
##update##
4.7.0 get's through, but very slow (takes minutes before screen pops up). after that, everythings works extremely slow and processor usage hits a constant 25%. When I get back to another tab, speeds get back to normal and processor usage is back to 0%...
The soundfile used in the project is a 4 minute mp3 (approx 5MB)

thanx,
Frank

QLC+ hangs (but does not crash) because you added a Chaser with steps with infinite hold.
Funny that QLC+ tries to represent them anyway !
Well, please avoid that...

Ok, thanks for the info.
My purpose was creating a lightscene and start playing a song at the same time.
But the light should stay on forever (or as long as I don't press "next" in a chaser)
But, as I understand, this isn't what it's made for?

Just use collections.
Create a chaser in loop mode with just the song.
Add scenes to another chaser
Create a collection and add the two chasers
You don't even need to use Shows

okay, it took me some trial and error, but get the picture now.
I'm able to start a lightscene and get the sound at the right time
Only remaining problem is the music fade out. The music starts playing with the fade in, but in theater, I don't know how long the music is played. So I enter the complete song, but I only need a portion. When the music need to be stopped, I would go to the next cue (containing only the current lightscene) but the music stops immediately because I stop the collection. If the fadeout time would be taken into account even when manually going to the next step, my problem is completly solved!
thanks for the assistance!
