The Lighting Controller

Hi,

I've found a bug in the V8 Alpha that when using Multi-lined text buttons and then assigning a macro button to them that once you close and reopen the software the macro button loses any multi-lined buttons. The live.ini file still looks correct so it seems to be getting confused when reading that file and differentiating between the single pipe '|' and double pipe '||' characters.

It's a V7 bug

Niffo: Are the buttons not being identified by an id-number, but rather by text-lables in the source?

@thorehl It does appear this way based on the live.ini file.

@niffo Will the buttons ever be changed over to being identified by an id number rather than by label? Would allow buttons to have the same name if required and would solve this current issue. This should also be a feature request as I personally find it frustrating that I have to prefix all my buttons in each page by the fixture name to keep them unique (XXX Strobe and YYY Strobe) when I have a page per fixture, would be nice to know that a page for fixture XXX then has a button labelled Strobe.

@thorehl : Yes, for historical reasons.

@waynehaffenden : It would be a nice change, but it would pose backward compatibility issues.

@All : Separator "||" changed for "~" in next release. "|" and "@" are now forbidden in button titles.

Awesome Maybe something for the future then!
