Fixture profiles

{Delete} will affect the part of the fixture editor that's currently focussed. If you click in the fixture list and then press Delete it will remove a fixture profile. if you click on the right hand side and then use Delete, it will remove a parameter.

As you've discovered there are parameters that will add other parameters. Pan/Tilt and X_Focus, Y_Focus, Z_Focus is one example, a complete color mixing system (RGB, or CMY) will add Hue and Saturation. As long as you have RGB or CMY you can't remove Hue/Sat, and as long as you either have Pan or Tilt you can't remove the XYZ parameters. You should be able to remove all other parameters without problem.

OK, I've worked out that I need to delete pan before I can delete virtual X,Y,Z, but that shouldn't have been an issue on 2.8.2. I'll look at it again tomorrow, but I guess it is a case of operator error/unfamiliarity.

OK, That's weird. In both 2.8.2 and 3.0 b389 today I've been trying to create/edit a profile for a Litegear LiteDimmer Spectrum DC200. When I want to add a parameter EOS auto populates some parameters that I don't need. If select one and press delete it may reduce the parameter count, but apart from one brief occasion which has since passed all of the details stay in place. I can save the state of the fixture, select another one, come back, highlight a parameter, press delete over at the bottom left and the unwanted parameters remain even the fixture now needs saving again. Given its ineffectiveness I was assuming delete was supposed to be for removing the fixture profile rather than a parameter.

I'm probably misunderstanding something, but there is a {Delete} softkey that will remove the highlighted parameter.
