Importing ASCII softpatch - Ion

Hello-

I am trying to import an ASCII softpatch to ION from a Lightwright 4 file. When I use ION offline on my laptop, it imports perfectly. However, when I import it from my USB stick on my console, it patches 1-to-1 on part 1 of the channel, then it actually patches the universe/dimmer number correctly in part 2. I am starting with a clean show, and cleared patch. Like I said, it patches correctly in the offline editor, so I at least have a workaround, but I was wondering if I am doing something wrong.

Just an idea - before you import your softpatch, goto the patch screen and try typing
ch [1] [thru] [5000] [delete] [enter] [enter]. Have a quick check and make sure there are no part 2's that need deleting. Try importing after that.
Not sure if it will work, but might be worth a try
Have fun

In 1.3.0, this happens when you import any Ascii file from Ion. I think the only workaround is to import it using Eos Offline first. This is fixed in 1.3.1.

The problem is due to the Ascii feature not handling that fact that Ion does a 1 to 1 patch on a [file new].
