Hi All,
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.
All was good, reopend in fixture editor to see everything was ok.
I did however notice....
There is a #color number. I couldnt work out how that had gotten there or what it was for.
I looked at QLC inbuilt fixtures../usr/share/qlcplus/fixtures/Cameo-LED-RGBW-PAR64-18x8W
and noticed it had a quite a few more #colours
So question is where did they come from? what are they for? do they need to be added? How in the fixture editor can this be done?
