Proportional patch

Greetings All,

I took my SmartFade show file on from the SD card and loaded it onto my computer. In a text editor, the patch section appears to have fields for a proportional patch value. They are defaulted to 100 as the SmartFade has no user interface to address this parameter. So, the question is: If I modify these fields by hand, can I obtain proportional patching or are those fields ignored by the console? I am not sure if I would use this much, but I do have one particular situation where proportional patch would help.

I have tried to modify it by hand and to reload it into the console. It changes nothing. When you re-save it on the SD and re-open it, it comes back at 100...
This feature could be useful to correct intensity of many lights patched on the same channel, indeed.

SmartFade does not provide a proportional patch. The fields in the patch part of the show file are for compatability when read into other consoles.

We will consider if it is feasible to offer this in a future version.

That would be really great! It's one of the things that keeps me from choosing this console...
