hello everybody

i had often to rebuild a new workspace, but didnt want to redesign always same widgets virtual board...
so i saved them in .txt, like that you can easy import in your existing virtual console

just copy and paste...before that last line in your .qxw file

</Frame>
<Properties>
<Size Width="1920" Height="1080"/>
<GrandMaster ChannelMode="Intensity" ValueMode="Reduce" SliderMode="Normal"/>
</Properties>
</VirtualConsole>
<SimpleDesk>
<Engine/>
</SimpleDesk>
</Workspace>

for the APCmini i made solo frame for each line, i can choose the color of my LED end i use the slider down for dimmer...you can customize as you want
for the dmx board 48, it works well with scene setter board for exemple

hope is usefull for someone
regards JD

It's XML, so you have to get the nesting right...

To see where exactly to insert, I've done this:

- launch QLC+
- immediately save the workspace, call it "empty.qxw"
- add a single button
- save as "button.qxw"
- quit QLC+
- launch a text editor (KDE kate here) and open both qxw files as well as "apc mini.txt"
- replace the button tag in "button.qxw" (everything from and including <Button ... > to </Button>) by the complete content of "apc mini.txt"
- save as "apcmini.qxw"

load this new file apcmini.qxw in QLC+ and voila!

The indentation is off after pasting the snippet, but QLC+ will correct this automatically at next save.

Also be aware that this just creates the complex widget, you'll still have to set up the workspace for your I/O hardware, input profile, fixtures/dimmers, MIDI mapping of sliders/knobs etc. ...
