Just been experimenting with creating a fixture group and found a few bugs.

1. Creating a new group the generic name 'new group 1' is given but this name doesn't change when you change the name in the group information page

2. I created a group with four fixtures initially and a group size of 4 x 1. I increased this to 5 x 1 and dragged another fixture from Universe one. This worked successfully but the new fixture didn't show up in the fixture group panel.

3. I noticed some odd behaviour when dragging fixtures in the group information panel. If I selected the last two fixtures in the row and then dragged them onto the last position, then a second row was created and the fixture seemed to disappear. By extending the group to 5 x 2 it was revealed again.

I like the ability to drag and drop in the fixture group information window, but would prefer when rearranging, that a fixture dropped on to another would take it's position, effectively swapping places. (might get interesting to program when multiple selections are made though ;-))

I really like the implementation of selecting a group in the fixtures group panel. This will be really useful. For aesthetics, it would be nice that if deselect all lights in 2D or 3D mode that the group is also deselected.

Hope that make some sense.

Cheers

Hi Mark, thanks for the feedbacks.

Indeed, the group editor is still a work in progress and I'm gonna work some more on it for Alpha 3.
