Hi I'm still having trouble seeing new fixtures.

I am a Mac user and new to the programme.

I have copied a new fixture into the correct place so it should show in the library: 'show packed contents/Resources/Fixtures etc. But when I try and see it in the library when adding a new fixture within the programme it is not there. I even tried just adding a new folder and naming it to see if the programme was recognising changes in these folders but again I can't see any changes when trying to add a new fixture in the QLC programme.

Is there a solution or any way around this? Way to physically import the profile in a new project?

That's not where you place new fixtures

I have the same problem. And there was no folder for user fixtures in Library/Application\ Support/. So I created it and copied the file in there. Still nothing.

These are the paths on a Mac:

Code: Select all

$HOME/Library/Application Support/QLC+
                                     /Fixtures
                                     /InputProfiles
                                     /MidiTemplates
                                     /ModifiersTemplates
                                     /RGBScripts
Sounds like you need to drop the fixture definition in $HOME/Library/Application Support/QLC+/Fixtures.

(and restart QLC+ afterwards, so they get included)
