view a fixture personality without copying & editing it

as you maybe can tell from my latest posts, i have been recently patching an eos for a rep house which has proven to be quite an extensive bit of work... so i keep tripping over small issues that would have made my live easier. like for example this one:

i'd love to be able to view the channels of a fixture personality without copying and editing it. so when i have made channel X type Y and Y turns up in my fixture "collection". i would love to click it and then have the options new/copy/delete as well as a view option. i can accept that i cannot directly edit the library fixtures but have to add a copy first, but not even view it? please?

and on a different matter, but related to the fixture "collection". a way of navigating through the list, other than the arrow keys? the list is numbered, so maybe punch in the line numbers? or use the wheel to scroll? use the keyboard and press the first letter of the fixture's name? anything?

or am i alone on this?

 

cheers from switzerland

  • Felix, yes, viewing the profile without making changes is on our list to do.  You can see this information in the about window, under patch, once the device has has been patched to a channel.

    You may find it faster to use the encoders when patching that the GUI in the CIA.  When you are in patch, the encoders are routed to manufacturer, type and address.  That currently provides the "scroll-ability" you are looking for!

    Hope that helps.

  • while giving in, that i had missed that i can use the encoder, when in the library, i was trying to find a navigation through the tabled view of my favourites (the one i get with softkey 6 called "fixtures").
