Hello, I would like to request a global setting to have blind mode enabled all the time for all scenes.

Use Case: Blind mode is off by default and can then be enabled per scene. This is distracting to people that may be in the room.

Eric,

I think you don't get the reason why there is a blind mode.
If you want to change something to a running show without distracting ongoing things - we go blind mode.

So actually the opposite of what you are suggesting.

Now: What are you trying to achieve? I'm guessing: in simple mode change lightning parameters and then go 'live' with them?
Qlc+ is way way intelligenter than that ...

@GGGss,

I'm not sure what you mean. Maybe I wasn't clear. My apologies.

When making changes to a scene while NOT in operate mode blind mode is not enabled by default. Therefore when scene is clicked the corresponding fixtures respond and I have to click the blind mode button myself causing a momentary flash that is distracting. If there were a setting that allowed blind mode enabled globally this would not be an issue. If I were in a live setting then I would just use the live edit function.

Please let me know if I have misunderstood something.

Aha in edit mode...

Actually I like the preview in edit mode - QLC+ lacks Highlite and Solo possibilities so the preview is welcome.

I'm not sure but does the Grandmaster work at all in edit mode?
Maybe there is your solution...

I hadn't thought of that. I will give this a try and report back.
