Unable to change colors on mapping tool
« on: May 15, 2017, 02:56:06 PM »
Hi folks,

I'm running into a couple of issues that I'm not sure are bugs (and are not show stoppers) but are "interesting"
  • When I pull in a mapping file while importing a .lms sequence, I'm unable to change the color selections that are part of the grid that opens up. I've tried single-clicking, double-clicking and just typing. Nothing seems to want to let me change the color. (See the attached mapping-import.png to see how my mapping file is importing by default.
  • Another interesting thing is the colors that are importing seem odd. For example, the star at the top of my megatree wants to be blue. I'm attaching the .xmap file so you can examine it but I'm not seeing anything that would indicate that the star should be blue.

Thanks, in advance, for your appreciated help.

Have you tried clicking on the color?

Also have you considered mapping this using the ccr/strand mode?

I have tried clicking the color Keith. No dice.
For some reason the application doesn't register a click in the color field.

Good idea Keith.
I'll give that a try.

I tried Keith's suggestion of mapping using the ccr/strand mode and the program crashed.

Maybe that's a good thing since it generated a debug report (attached). Maybe that will help?

Can you put your files in Dropbox and send them to me in a pm. I will take a look at them.
