Title: sub-model issue ver 2016.50
Post by: fatcat46 on October 01, 2016, 07:23:11 AM

I believe I have discovered a bug in ver 2016.50 with sub-models. In version 2016.49, I created 50 sub-models for my mega tree so I could access each row of lights. I named them row 1-50. They showed up in my model sequencer view in order, when I toggled the strands, However, now in ver 2016.50, they do not come up in order. Every time I restart Xlights they come up in a different order. I have attached a screen shot.

You will see that after row40, rows41 &42 are missing (actually found lower in the list) then other sub-models appear after row48 followed by rows 26 the 41 & 42, 46 and 49 & 50.

Can I fall back to version 2016.49?

You can safely fall back to v49

I just fell back to 2016.49 and the order of my sub-model list for my megatree is still messed up. Is there some way I can fix this? Maybe by editing some file?

I've never tried, but I would think you could edit the xml with notepad ++ or similar app.

I've edited other items in the xml, so would think this would be no different.

Editing the XML worked. Thanks again.

Well I'd like to know how the order changed.  One thing I notice in your picture is the name "row 40" has a space character before the number whereas none of the other row names have a space.  But I didn't think we did any kind of name sorting for how the sub-models get displayed on the grid.

Gilrock, yes it has a space, but there isn't anyway to rename it after it's created so i left it that way. Maybe I could edit the xml again and fix it there?

I don't know how it changed. All I know is it did

Well maybe you'll figure it out after you have to renumber it a couple more times. :)
