How to import a shared or old (last years) xml file

[dkulp]

I'm also a terrible sequencer.   I have very little rhythm (I tried tapping out beat tracks several times and if I did the same song three times, I got 3 very different beat tracks) and am not much of an artist.   That's why I've spent so much time working on xLights imports and mapping capabilities.  I figured I'd let the true artists do the artistic stuff and then hopefully they'll share some of that with the rest of us that aren't as good at it.

Now if you would just fix the xml import so we do not have to see strands and nodes in the mapping window (at least for xml import) the mapping function would be much easier.

Didn't Sean, at one point in recent history, tease a feature they were working on (or would) to make sharing sequences easier between users?  I'm wondering if this is still in the roadmap plans for this year?

still on roadmap. I am going though process with my wife, Lilia, as she does this mapping for others who are buying her sequences.
