Clearing / "un-touching" Parameters


Hi all,

I'll apologise for my ignorance first but this is really driving me nuts.

I often have to build presets out of sequence and on the hoof and there's one thing giving me major grief.

There must be a straightforward way to easily get rid of Parameter information for a lamp.

For example, I'm building a look and I fire up some LED fixtures to a nice mauve colour then decide that I don't want them in this preset. I can't seem to get rid of the pesky things. -sure I can ride all the colour channels to zero, but that isn't the same (and there's still a change flag on the colour parameter). 

'Refresh' does nothing as there is no previous recorded state.

and 'c-alt'+'Ch/ID' will get rid of intensities but not parameters !

I'm searching for that 'Knockout' or 'untouch' funtion in hog-speak which will get rid of some or all of the parameters of the lamps which I've mistakenly altered.

It's gotta be there somewhere, hasn't it ?

-on a slightly related note, does anyone know if it's possible to exit the show (having made a right mess of it) without saving ?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Confused from Glasgow !

    You can load an older version of the show:

    File>Open>(location)>show.asc - instead of pressing [Modify], press the right arrow and you'll see a list of show.001 to show.009 - those are the old versions of your show from the last 10 times you saved. The .asc is the last save you did, .001 the one before that etc.

    So you can revert to older versions if it all goes to pot!

    Please note that when you leave the Congo application, data isn't saved to original play file. It is stored in a temporary file to be able to restore the last status when you start again.

    If you haven't saved the play manually (in Browser/Save) before you exit, the original file is still untouched. You can then still load the original show file after starting Congo again.
