Probably not too many doing imports at this time of the year. Probably taking some time off. I figured I better get an early start since this will be my first xlights year.

markrvp - Thanks for the reinforcements.

At least I am not going crazy. I just went ahead ans swapped colors. I will continue learning and wait for you feedback. Thank you very much for all your help. Tons better than LSP's support right now.

Gotcha. Thanks for the education. Sorry, I was referring to the Import file as the mapping file. I will get the terminology down soon, I promise. Here is the LMS file and the xlights_rgbeffects.xml file. Thank you for your help. I have plenty of time until next light season. But wanted to make sure I had an understanding of xlights by going through the tutorials first. Then ran into this minor issue. I really love this software. Tons easier to use. Thanks again.

I am attaching the "Import" file I used and the "xml" file created as I tested this with just one face. You can see that the codes are reversed in the "xml" file compared to the "Import" file.

I believe you are talking about this, correct? See attached

I set the colors in the import and in the Force setting. But it ignores the settings of both.

I am new to xLights but love it so far. I am a LSP convert. I am going through all the tutorials now fo rnext year.  I am running the 2016.55 version. I have four Coro faces created in my layout. All set as RGB. When I import a LOR file and have the colors set as follows:

1. Mouth = I set the import color as Turquoise (#00ffff) but it imports as Yellow (#ffff00). It is importing the color code backwards.
2. Eyes = Are set to import as Red ( #ff0000) but imports as Blue (#0000ff). This is also backwards
4. Outline = Green (#00ff00) but this is the same forward and backwards, so it can't get this one wrong.

Am I missing some setting here or is this a bug?

Just had one of my guys point me in the direction of the GitHub for xlights. I found the readme file and such. I will be taking a look at this. Thank you.

HUH???   

Just kidding. I run an IT department but I am not a developer. I do have a team of developer who could probably run me through this and then I can get with you to take a look. I'll get back with you.

By the way, I would like to know what happened as well. I was think maybe an update or something, but I don't see any that were applied.

The new user did not work. I even made the user an administrator.

I installed xlights on another pc, verified it would start, exported the registry key but still will not start on my PC. I am at a loss. Any other ideas? Thanks for your assistance.

I will confirm it is the registry setting by installing xlights on another PC then export and import the registry key. I will let you know. Thanks.

This is strange. That key does not exist. I just uninstalled and reinstalled thinking is would create it and it did not. See attached screenshot.

I renamed the folder to shows_backup with the same result. Would renaming the folder also eliminate the corrupted Window Layout settings? Sorry for the questions but I am still trying to learn my way around the configs.

I am in the process of learning xlights as I am going away form LSP for next year. I was working through some of the videos this morning, went to lunch and now when I try to start xlights it will not start. I have rebooted, uninstalled, reinstalled, etc. I have been researching the crashes and have found the log file ( I believe). Below is what is rendered in the log file. Any thoughts?
