Flexi Encoder Screen Bug?

Hello All,

I just upgraded my Eos Ti to 2.5.

I noticed an issue with the encoder pages, on the Encoder screen, when they're in Flexi mode.

When I select a group or channel, I need to terminate the command line before the encoder screen will 'refresh' to flexi mode. I may be wrong, but up through 2.4.1 all I had to do was type in a group or channel. I didn't need to hit <enter> after the selection.

An Example:

In my show file, I have ETC D-60s in channels 1-10 & generic RGBW fixtures in channels 11-20.

When nothing selected, the color encoders, spread over several pages, show all possible color options inactive.

In 2.4.1, I believe when I typed '1', the Color encoder pages showed the 7 colors & Hue & Sat. But when I typed '11' all I saw was R, G, B, W, and H&S.

Now, in 2.5, when I type '11', I see the R, G, B, W, and H&S encoders active, but they're spread out over several pages along with inactive encoders with the remaining colors from the D-60s. It isn't until I type '11 <enter>' (terminating the command line) that the encoder screen shows the active R, G, B, W encoders on one page and H&S on another page with nothing else and no other pages.

This happens across several different types of fixtures & whether I'm selecting channels or groups. I didn't notice if this happens with other encoder types, but will be in front of my console to check tomorrow.

Not sure if this is a bug or a purposeful change. I first noticed it when I selected a fixture from a Magic Sheet & went to adjust it's color. Having to tap the Magic Sheet button then hit <Enter> just to see the encoder screen pages in flexi like they should be seem awkward.

Thanks

    Matt,

    After reading your reply, needing an <enter> when you manually enter a channel selection, for the ML controls & Encoder screen to populate correctly, makes sense.

    I'm still having the problem when selecting a channel from DSs or MS objects.

    To be sure it wasn't show file specific, I created a new show file as you suggested. I patched a couple generic fixtures (a RGB & a RGBAIUV). I then created a MS channel button for each.

    When I tapped the RGB channel MS object, it posted it's channel (11), unterminated, on the command line. What I get on the Encoder screen is the photo below. Please note the inactive 'Amber' on the 3rd encoder.

     

     

    Once I hit <enter>, I get the photo below. Notice how the 'Amber' goes away & the other colors consolidated.

     

    I don't remember it behaving this way in previous versions.

    BTW ML controls populate properly when using DSs & MS objects. Neither need an <enter> for the ML controls to populate.

    I'd be happy to send you the new show file, if you think that's help.

    Thanks 

    Jeff

    Ah okay, thank you for the reproducer. Now I understand what you mean about the screen there. I've filed SCR 39912 for this one. The Encoders should also be flexi'ing down as soon as you put a '+' after a channel on the command line - they're not doing that currently either.
