Quick Re-patch for DP's

Hi Guys,

I was hoping to add in an enhancement for quickly re-patching on Hog PC.

By default a DP8000 is patched, but if on site it changes to say two DP2000's theres no quick way to 'shift' the universes over.

Selecting day 601 THRU 620 @ does obviously work - however, if (like I have) you have gaps in your patching for a specific reason, it is a bit of a pain to repatch it this way. Or, alternatively if you have dimmers.

Something like being able to 'shift' the universe from A to B DP without re-configuring or going down the patch window one by one with patch gaps and dimmers?

    Yeah, you'll have to run the startup macro manually since those nodes will never come online. Unfortunately I don't know any way around this, unless you could use clock triggers to run your macros at fixed times.

    The PC based console will automatically convert the first two DP2000's to a DP8000, but I believe this only happens the first time you load a 2.x show on 3.x software. We discussed implementing full bi-directional auto-conversion but decided that the convenience would be eclipsed by the extreme frustration of the console changing things behind your back when you're not expecting it.
