I can understand feeling that you must hold on to the hundreds of hours that you invested in LOR sequences.  There is also a sense of mistrust that keeps you from believing that you can create something better in xlights in just an hour.

Break the shackles. Jump in with both feet.  Walk forward and don't look back.  Use metaphors to make your point.  Try it, you'll like it. 

And you don't need to delete your LOR sequences... so you'll have a safety net.

:)

Mine is a matter of time.. I am running out. I have so much already programmed and I do it with a lot of precision, so I need the granular control that I have in LOR.. As well, there is a hardware issue.  I have no input capability in XL like with LOR.   I have also had crashes with XL4 that I don't have with LOR. 

Bottom line is that next year I might just switch.. but no time this year.. so the group model export would be soooooo incredibly helpful.

I agree with this.. I have way too much in LOR that I don't have time to change over to XL4.. The export would be so amazingly helpful.. And very soon

What , coming across the road and helping yourself to our coffee , are you  ? And you want help to cross the road back ? :) :)
Us "Old people" need that kind of help.. but I will bring coffee next time!  :-)

Now I'm thinking we just should never fix it.  I feel like we are helping people continue with their bad habits...lol.

I'm a LOR user who is a chase, fade control freak.  If I didn't have these issues the conversion would be easier.  It don't think it will happen this year but I can see it happening in 2016.

So normally an export contains a block of channels so what are we supposed to do if you have big gaps in between all the models in the group?  Exports don't have channel numbers associated with them.  You could theoretically end up with every channel in your sequence if we had to include all the in-between channels.  We were just trying to figure out how to handle this as I was asking Dan about it.
