I'd like to suggest a swap function in patch -- something like [channel a] {sawp address} [channel b]. This seems to be something that happens all the time.

How is that different from taking the fixture and using "copy to" the new location?
Say channel 1 is patched into dimmer 11 and channel 2 is patched into dimmer 12. For whatever reason -- the paperwork is wrong, they were plugged wrong, their purposes need to swap during focus, etc, you want them to be the other way around. Instead of looking up the patch, putting 1@12 and 2@11, I'm proposing 1 {swap} 2. It wouldn't change any targets, just swap the patch.

Josh, this is targeted for our next feature release.

Thanks!

It's like magic. :-) Good to know.

Yes. Just recently used this feature and not realizing it was swapping the channels in the groups and such became a big headache. After figuring out was going on we stopped using it. Swap would be very helpful just for patching.
As Josh said, it's fixed in 2.0.1, which is in open beta.
