Snapshots with fade time?

Snapshots are for the display layouts, not for the actual DMX control. That's what cues are for. I'm not 100% on what your requirements are exactly, do cues solve the problem?

I need to be able to store the current lighting, recall it later, and update faders to match the lighting. So if a light is at 50% intensity in the preset you are loading, the fader will get updated to 50% to match.

Unless I missed something, neither presets nor cues update faders to reflect what is on stage, and I haven't found a way to set a fader/sub level based on a channel's level.

I did come up with a solution that involves moving around multiple faders and changing sub priority, which takes a lot of macro manipulation, but it works. Basically it lowers the priority on the currently loaded subs, saves the current preset, recalls the preset you want to load, loads the new faders while transitioning to the new preset, then once the transition is over raises the priority of the new active subs.

TBH it would probably be less work to code my own application, but at least it works.Also, snapshots that include faders do send DMX commands when loaded.

Seems like an extremely simple request. You just want to have the virtual faders match cues as cues are called. It doesn't seem like you can with Eos on its own.

You'll be able to do it in my software though, which remote-controls Eos. That upgrade will be in the beta release of Alva Sorcerer 2, probably coming in a couple months.
