Having some difficulty with xlights and pasting effects onto an element and the strand and/or node not taking the same effect. For me, I'm importing LOR effects into a new xlights sequence. Everything comes in wonderfully and all is well. I want to change an element (a single color type), I modify the element in xlights, removing or adding effects, etc. I copy a range of effects from that element. When I paste those effects onto another element (after deleting the old effects on the new element), it seems to paste ok. But the strand and node effects are still the old effects (they didn't get deleted from the element). OK, I delete those as well and repaste into the element and strand, ok, that's better, it plays and looks ok. I render and voila, the node is updated with old effects again. I can't delete from the node as there are no drag bars to select. If I paste into the node and delete it'll go away, but render brings it all back.
1) Is there a way that deleting, copying, pasting an element will affect everything in that element? In my case, one element, one strand, one node.
2) Why would the node keep overwriting with info that's not in the element/strand when I render?
