Modify group of different effects
« on: September 20, 2018, 09:14:31 AM »
Thanks to the xlights team, this software is amazing!

Many times I've wanted to change the brightness of multiple lines & effects to help bring out a different layer, such as having a ripple go over many other effects. So I want to modify the brightness of all those other effects at the same time to experiment with what will bring out the ripple the best.

However, when changing the brightness on multiple effects, and pressing update, they also update to the same color.

Maybe this is really only a desired feature for us who use layers a lot.

Would a separate update button next to brightness be a possibility?

Sounds like you are running an older version.  A month ago we changed it so that the Update button on the Color panel only updates colors so if its also updating brightness you are running old code.  To update brightness you need to right-click the field and use the Bulk Edit feature.

YES! I have the most current version, I just didn't know about the bulk edit feature!
Awesome! Thank you.
