I created a bug report on this as well but thought I'd also post it here in case anyone else has feedback.
https://github.com/smeighan/xLights/issues/2414 (https://github.com/smeighan/xLights/issues/2414)
This is a tough one to explain so I made a video:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JaFMljz5lPwND7enhyPnW2TMuN4yzSFL/view?usp=sharing (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JaFMljz5lPwND7enhyPnW2TMuN4yzSFL/view?usp=sharing)
I can reproduce this every time. Essentially, I downloaded someone else's sequence (attached), and when I play it after saving and rendering it's not recognizing the matrix images for the singing faces and just shows on the matrix.
To Reproduce
- Open xLights
- Change to show folder of the downloaded extracted sequence package
- Open the sequence
- Save and render the sequence
- Hit play and none of the face images on the matrix do anything but show a full red fill
- Go to the layout tab, select one of the matrix models with a singing face mapped to it in the sequence, select the faces section, click on the path to the image, then cancel out twice...changed nothing
- Go back to the sequencer tab and hit play on the sequence or click on the singing face effect on the model you previously checked in the layout tab...AND NOW IT MAGICALLY WORKS! :)
Expected behavior
I shouldn't have had to perform the extra step to click in a field for the face images. Especially since I never changed anything, nor did I save or apply anything...I hit cancel every time as you can see in the video.
