(1949) Bug Report: Patching Command Line Doesn't Match Action

(I've been meaning to post this one for a while. Don't think I've seen it listed anywhere.)

Name: Phil Gilbert
Date: 03/05/2008
System: Hog 3 PC (I believe this happens on all consoles as well)
Software Version and build number: v2.3.2 (1949)
Detailed description of the problem including instructions to reproduce (if possible) and exact syntax used:

Add eight fixtures (VL3000 for example) in the Fixture Schedule.

Adjust user numbers to be 101-104 and 111-114.

Type: [101] [THRU] [AT] (Select a universe) [ENTER]

Command line will probably say 'VL3000 Spot 101 > VL3500 Spot 114 Patch@ 1/1/1'

However, what actually gets patched is 101>104. I believe that the command line is actually wrong on this one, as a break in user numbering should default to a selection break (i.e. [101] [THRU] [ENTER] should result in a selection of 101-104 and NOT a selection of 101-114).

Hope that all made sense.

Cheers,

Phil

    Hi Phil,

    I believe I've seen this before - and not just in patching. I stumbled accross it because (from H2 days) I was used to the Fixture Thru syntax to select all my light of a certain type. Now of course if you break the User numbering it only selects up to the break - although the command line does show the entire selection.

    So, as you've pointed out if I have 701-704, 711-714 (Continious in the Patch)

    Then 701 Thru Enter will only select 701-704. But the command line will show 701-714. I havent tested this for a while; because of this behaviour I switched to using continuous fixture numbers.
