Title: Save Models, Perspectives, and Preset changes?
Post by: danj on July 31, 2016, 08:48:11 PM: I am sure this is something I am doing wrong... After saving an xlights file then attempting to close xlights, xlights is asking me "save models, perspectives, and preset changes?". I have been clicking "no" because I am not making any changes to any elements, perspectives, or saving any presets; I am just doing developing a sequence. One time I went ahead & answered "yes", then when I re-opened my rgbeffects file was messed up---so I went to a backup rgbeffects file and saved it in my xL directory and all was well. What am I doing wrong here? I don't remember this popping up every time I close xlights... Thanks!!

Almost forgot--running v41. W10 machine

Just changing something like what view you are looking at will trigger it because we save it so we can show you what you looked at last.

THANKS for the replies!!
