Changing from 25ms to 50ms timing
« on: October 23, 2018, 12:24:10 AM »
I was doing some experiments tonight and noticed that when I change the timing in the sequence settings from 25ms to 50ms the fseq file size doesn't change to a smaller size the next time I save.  I also noticed that if I delete the fseq, while not having closed out of anything or shut down xlights since I made the change from 25ms to 50ms, and then save the sequence it still does the 25ms size.  It isn't until I close out xlights, delete the 25ms fseq file and then save again after re-opening does it now save with the new 50ms fseq file size.

I don't know if it is a bug, but it's worth everyone knowing :)

Well that absolutely was working when I added the feature to change the timing.  So I'll have to test it and see why its not.  What you are describing is exactly the way it used to work before I had fixed it.

Sorry to hear that.  I should have also mentioned that I'm running the latest Windows version.

Ok so there wasn't any new bugs this is how it was always working.  I had it set where it would grow if needed but it wouldn't shrink.  The reason was when we open a sequence the FSEQ file will determine the number of frames if it's greater than the sequence timing.  But I did find an easy fix.  If you are saving and the FSEQ timing has a mismatch the sequence timing I throw away all the data and it resizes properly.  Will be in next release.

Awesome, thanks Gil!
