Sorry!

I already wrote it in my fixture definition of my PARL4-SET, but I should have wrote it in a seperate thread. Now, I make up leeway.

In the devices list there are devices filed under "Monacor" AND "IMG Stage-Line". In fact, it's a bit tricky with that company (companies) as "IMG Stage-Line" is a subdivision of "Monacor". So, it's not really "wrong" to file them under "Monacor". On the other hand, people that don't know about the link between the two names won't look at "Monacor" for their devices as all lightning products for "professional" purpose from that company are ALWAYS labeled "IMG Stage-Line".

To go around this mess, there are several possibilities:
+ Use both the names "Monacor" AND "IMG Stage-Line" and keep the devices in sync.
+ Transfere all devices labeled as "Monacor" to "IMG Stage-Line" and erase the name "Monacor".
+ Create a name like "IMG Stage-Line / Monacor" and file all devices under that label.

I'd strongly recommend not to use the name "Monacor" exclusively!

Greets!

This problem is by no means unique and would require many-one relationships to implement properly. Could an 'alternate name' field by placed in the xml for the definitions?
