Added this one today and noticed a couple of things. (Consider newbie)
New fixture was close in definitions to another
So I copied(filemanager) a previous fixture (in my .qlcplus folder) and renamed it. Then edited the new one. (basically remove White and UV from Channels/Colour) This meant changing some of the min max Values. The editor got a little confused wouldnt let me just enter values (due to overlap) Understood saftey feature to ensure they dont overlap. Rather than fighting or retyping. I opened the qxf file in gedit and edited the numbers there, being extra careful on the values.
