ION&VL500 \ examining palettes

On Ion, at the moment, the only way to know what lights are stored in a palette other than using the Group button is to look at it in blind.   On Eos, you can use the query function (which is actually more keystrokes than just using the group button .... )....

hope that helps.

I know it doesn't currently, but shouldn't "Flexi+Active" in Blind Palette show only what's recorded into the current display?

On an unrelated Blind Palette note...we should be able to use BLOCK while looking at a Palette in Blind.  If I want to assure all attributes have a value, and currently only some do because either RECORD ONLY or UPDATE was used, I think Channel 1 BLOCK ENTER should accomplish this.

Or Perhaps a [Make Absolute]?

As a workaround for now... could you in live: place the chan in the pallet.  Make Manual, then update?

In Live isn't a problem, because you can (even without putting it in a palette) Make Manual.  But there are times when it isn't as convenient.  Let's say, for instance, using the color picker in blind, with a fixture that has additional color wheels that need to be zeroed.  Currently, the workaround would be to Home the fixtures, which does insert values, before using the color picker (or gel equivalent).  But we do need a way to get there more quickly.

Maybe a macro that you can use after channel selection.  Perhaps the macro could contain [{colour} home enter display colourPicker].  Just tried on OLE and seems to work rather quickly...
