house preview window
« on: May 25, 2017, 11:03:33 PM »
What menu/setting defines what you see in the "House Preview" window on the sequencer?  On the layout tab I have a "halloween", "christmas", default, and all models preview defined.  When I go to the sequencer, the house preview just shows the "default" preview.  How do I change that to the "halloween" preview

I found this video helpful on the confusing preview / model setup in x-lights.

thanks , I've seen that video before, however, it doesn't go into what defines what's in the house preview.   If I go to the preview menu at the top of the xlights window, it says I have three selections...."show all", halloween, christmas.  how are those defined?

Its actually simple.  When you select "Default" that is what will show up in the House Preview.  If you want to see a different preview you need to use the menus and select I believe View -> Preview -> New Fancy Preview I've created.  I do plan to look into an enhancement that allows you to right-click the house preview and switch it to one of the other previews you've created.
