Simple Desk question

Hello,

In the Simple Desk Fixture View, how is the order of fixtures determined? They are not in channel order.

Thanks,

Howie

On every system I've run QLC+ on, they are in DMX address order. Are you seeing something different?

That's only true for the default channel view mode in my experience...
If you change that to fixture view mode https://docs.qlcplus.org/v4/simple-desk, the order is determined by the order you entered your fixtures.

See attached picture: I first added 6 single dimmer channels beginning at address 7, then a dimmer pack of 6 channels at address 1.

I've never used Fixture View Mode, but I guess that answers the OPs question. :)

Since Simple Desk is intended to mimic a lightboard, doesn't it seem like a defect that fixture mode doesn't show them in channel order, simply eliminating the gaps and showing fixture names (which adds value)? Order added just seems very odd.
