Error Importing some items
« on: November 11, 2016, 01:45:49 PM »
I am importing a exising xlights sequence into my sequence and running into an error.  I have attached some screen shots of the error but it seems this has to do with text.

Unable to find:ID_CHECKBOX_TextToCenter1
Unable to find:ID_CHECKBOX_TextToCenter2

And they continue on.

Did the text items get remapped from one version to another.  If so is there a way to "update" all of these.  I can do it in the XML file with a mass find and replace if I knew what mapped to what.

Thanks

Are you using .52?  I thought I fixed this.

I am on .50.  I apologize if I missed this in the release notes.  I can upgrade to .52 and test it out

So I downloaded .52 and just tested it there.  Same errors.  Please let me know what other information I can provide to assist.

Thanks

The program needs to think the file is older than version 2016.46 to run the Text effect conversion code.  If you somehow got into this state and the version saved in the file is higher it will never fix itself. Try making a copy of the file and then change the version manually in the xml header back to 2016.45 and then open it and see if it fixes the Text effects.
