Title: xmap mapping file no longer working in .41 [SOLVED]
Post by: nmiller0113 on December 14, 2017, 02:04:55 AM

I recently upgraded to .41 and realized my mapping file, xmap, that I use for importing is no longer mapping properly and only picking *some* channels to map.  I reverted back to .40 and everything is mapping and working again as it has in all previous versions.  I can reproduce if needed, as needed, but it's pretty straight forward.  Thanks!

Then pls share it with us because my mapping looks good.

Sure.  Here is a video with the reproduction of it.  I'm using the Mac versions of .40 and .41 to show this.  You can see the difference between the two.  Here is the video link https://drive.google.com/open?id=1COyA1XpV-OSlVHR4rtjCbdNnZxJ3k1dG (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1COyA1XpV-OSlVHR4rtjCbdNnZxJ3k1dG).

I can also direct message you the xmap file, my rgbeffects file and the sequence I'm importing if you like.  Thanks!

Yes pls. My testing worked ok so I need something that doesn’t.

Ok Keith.  I just PM'd you a shared folder link with all the files you'll need to reproduce.

Any more on this one before I upgrade to .42 from .37?

No word yet but it really sounds like my issue is an edge case and not the norm.  You could probably upgrade just fine and if you get any strange issues you can always roll back :)

Hi Keith.  Just checking to see if there were any updates on this?  Thanks!

I cant find where you sent me the files ... so no ... no progress. The only thing I have is your video.

You said you PM'd me but they arent in any PM.

Strange, I just sent it again.  Please confirm if you get my PM this time.

Is this purchased content?  Otherwise just post it in the thread and it would have been fixed 2 days ago.

Yes, this is purchased content.

Just pushed a fix. It will be in .43.

Keith what's confusing me is the fix you checked in does not appear to be something that would have been working in version 2017.40 like what is reported here.  That mistake looks really old.

Post by: keithsw1111 on December 18, 2017, 01:40:52 PM

It is old. But I made a change in .41 which caused this code to become important where previously it wasn’t.

Thanks Keith!  Looking forward to the fix release as I'm on a Mac.

Just tested.  All fixed.  Thank you!

Yes but there are other problems in .43. .44 will be out soon.

Does the mapping code look at the views any to determine what it shows in the big lists of models on our display?  E.g. I have a bazzillion pumpkins that I turned off the eyeballs on but they still show in the mapping list.

And is it the master view that controls what order they show up in?  E.g. I have my groups in odd places and it seems items added last are at the bottom like I just stuffed them into the master view last.
