Well, I love making feature requests!!! So here are my requests for this month:

Add to the Trackball panel a few little buttons:
I agree with your request, but swap and invert are setups, so they should be on the fixture edit dialog, not at the trackball panel. At this moment swap and invert are already there, but I'll also like to see some convenient buttons.


       a) Swap Pan/Tilt - moving mouse horizontally tilts and vertically        pans
At this moment swap the pan/tilt DMX channels in the patches tab.


       b) Invert Pan - Moving to right reduces pan, left increases pan
       c) Invert tilt - see above
Just change a channel in the patch tab from curve 0 to 1 (inverted curve)


Not sure how the Invert buttons should act if the Swap button is also active. I'd say still that they'd still affect the pan/tilt, not the left/right up/down, if you know what I mean.
The order is first Swap, then invert. So invert takes place on the DMX channel, while swapping is just another light channel to DMX channel mapping.


Of course the swap/invert states would have to be stored with the Fixture in the cast so they don't get reset every time you select a different fixture.
It's already the case.


OK, I had another suggestion somewhere, but I've forgotten it. That's all
for now.
Do you have an idea why some starters don't understand initially the concept of selecting fixtures, set all DMX vales and do an "add step" in order to create a cue?
