Cant delete effects after importing...

[Dabil]

I just updated my display with new models, created a new sequence with all the models, and imported the effects from the old file.

Now I cannot delete any of the effects. If I click on an effect and click the delete button, the effect stops autoplaying, but the effect does not leave the timeline. I have also tried Right clicking on the effect to bring up the context menu and selecting delete from that, however the effect does not leave that way either, although again it will stop autoplaying until I reselect it.

I have been a long time user of xlights. Currently using the latest version 2023.22.

I just tested deleting effects on a sequence I have not imported effects from, no problem. The effect deletes properly. This appears to only happen if I use the import effects function. I packaged the sequence and attached so you can check it out to see what's going on.

Are they red?  They may have imported locked.  Right mouse click and unlock first, then you should be able to delete them.

The latest versions of XLights the developers decided to Auto Lock all the effects being imported.
If you import, when the box opens look at the Top of the window and Uncheck Lock Effects.
