So we took delivery of two IONs on Wednesday and immediately started delving into it. We have some bug reports and questions and feature requests.
Patching:
If patched separately, second dimmer for a channel overwrites existing dimmer instead of becoming a second part. Example:
[141] [at] [1] [enter] patches dimmer 1 to Ch. 141
[141] [at] [9] [enter] patches dimmer 9 to Ch. 141 and eliminates dimmer 1.
It *should* put dimmer 9 as part 2 keeping dimmer 1 as part 1. It works this way in address mode.
Creating new fixture:
Cannot use touchscreen to select a specific box on spreadsheet to alter anything, we are forced to use arrow keys. Can't click with mouse either. Seems to be left out of the touch/mouse GUI.
Can we get the ability to copy existing fixture profiles to the user folder and edit them? It would be so, so useful.
Our Follow/hang button gets stuck on the Preset button. One or the other is misaligned. Any ideas on how to fix that?
Tracking of non-intensity parameters:
Is it possible in the future (or current console) to view the levels as 0-100 instead of, for example, -28 to 50 or similar? Are there view options to show it this way? Can it be added in?
Fixtures:
Why does it make us "exit ION", essentially log out, when clearing out/deleting fixtures from the user folder?
The console became very unresponsive this morning after booting up. There was a 5-10 second delay from either clicking with mouse or touching screen. It made no sense as we have just turned the console on and hadn't done anything yet. Any ideas?
We'll be adding bug reports, feature requests, and various other information as we play further.
