Operate Mode: start-up function and overview over running functions

hi,
i'm new to qlc+ and i'm enjoying it a lot so far. great work!
yet, i'm having a problem that i'm unable to figure out. when starting Operate Mode a function seems to start running automatically. i didn't setup anything like that, nor do i remember being able to define a start-up function somewhere.
and even though i'm using a solo frame to trigger my own functions, that magical startup/background function keeps on running, it is back as soon as i fade down everything in my solo frame. i have to click "Stop ALL functions" to kill it.
can a start-up function be defined in QLC+?
and is there a way to see what functions are currently running?
thanks,
marcel

Yep, it's in the function tab, the icon with a flag on it.
Check it, and if you still don't understand, please upload your workspace here.

Ah! Thanks a lot, it helped.
Funny enough nothing was marked in there. Probably because I had renamed and/or deleted and recreated all of my rgb matrices (only using those for now). It seems QLC+ still kept some sort of info about a start-up function.

It would be nice, if there was some visual feedback, if and which autostart function is selected, if any.

I had a similar problem, because when I've played around with qlc+, I randomly selected a function and forgot about it. I thought I've found a bug, until I've opened up the qxw in a text editor and checked the XML.

Fixes are on the way :)

Engine fix:
- When deleting a function that is the startup function will clear the current startup function, so the initial bug will be fixed

UI fix:
- When opening the startup function selection, the current startup function will be selected (currently nothing is selected, which is confusing)
