I used the function wizard to create some animations with 47 RGB Lights. For some reason the animations are out of order when I play them. If I go to the Simple Desk, all of the lights are in the correct order. When I do the "Animation Full Columns- Generic RGB" with Red for the color, it starts with fixture 33 goes to 47, then 17 to 32 and then 1 to 16.
How do I get it to start at 1 and go to 47

Can you post your workspace file here? (.qxw). What QLC+ version?

I'm using the more recent version. I actually uninstalled and reinstalled it and am still having problems where Animation Fill - Generic RGB doesn't fill in any logical order. I can even see in the simple desk that they are not in order.

I tried a different computer. Here what I did.
Install QLC+ 4.9.1
Open QLC+
In Fixture tab hit the green plus "add fixture" button.
Select Generic RGB, Change Quantity to 47 (I also tried 10), clicked ok.
Goto Functions tab and select the Wizard
Add all the Generic RGB, and then select animations, and animations for the Widgets.
Goto Virtual Console, Start operation mode and in the widget select Animation Fill.
Goto Simple Desk and I can see that the lights do not turn on in order. For every cycle of the animation its the same, but it doesn't start with dimmer 1.

Does this happen to anyone else? Or is there a fix that I can do?

I think I figured it out. I just assumed that the group that was created would put them in address order. Now I know to create a group with the LEDs in the correct order before doing the wizard.
Always learning.

Massimo,

here are two issues:

1. Function wizard seems to not create matrices for RGB panel
2. When creating fixture group for fixtures, the order is lost (since the data is in QHash), see PalletteGenerator::createRGBMatrices()

Indeed. RGB Panels have been introduced after I've rewritten the function wizard. I'll check it out

No problem to use a QMap instead
