CMA Upgrade Request

So if this feature currently exists let me know, but i would have to be REALLY scatter brained to have missed it.

As happens all the time, after you've done your initial content load, the client wants to add/change something.
No problem, load it in, but then you have to do it for EVERY fixture. Not an issue if you have 3 or 4, but i'm usually doing more (right now 12 DL3's and 3 Axon's) and I have to drag it to every light.

I would like to see an "update content" function. Basically just like clone content, but it looks at what on the servers and only updates the files that have changed between the source and destination fixtures.

This would save me a ton of time, and let me keep programming instead of dragging files in and setting dmx values

    Are you using the Mac or Win CMA?

    The WinCMA does just what you are asking for by default when cloning. It only clones the changed files.

    When cloning with the MacCMA it goes through and does a complete clone of everything each time.


    I am using mac, i guess that is where the issue resides :(

    and dont say bootcamp and use the wincma because i use cleaner and do all my editing and potoshop and mac and it would suck to have to switch just to upload a file
