Think I found a bug in the software.

Have several Chauvet ColorStrip Mini's. Found the SSL2 profile and loaded it as Mode 3 (RGB Mode). Switched to Editor screen and program acted as expected and allow me to select color, dim, etc. Saved the show and exited the software.

Here is the bug. When I reopened the program and opened the saved show. The Mini was acting as if it was in Mode 1 (Flash Mode). I could not longer select colors, etc.

If I attempted to select the RGB mode, the software would not recognize the change (not sure it it would).

I repeated using one one fixture - same results.

Any help would be appreciated ...

An additional bug.

When in RGB mode (have seen this with various fixtures) the color display for the R or the G or the B on some of the fixtures will not fill in (they show white).

The fixture appears to work as expected however this makes it difficult to "know" how the fixture will actually be working.

When is the next version going to be released with these and other items fixed?

Just got mydmx 2.0 last week. So far i'm liking the new version of the software, however, it's crashed several times on me. First crash happened when I was scrolling up and down the profile library looking for the fixture I wanted to patch in next. The program crashed a couple more times while I was doing the same thing.

Earlier today, it crashed immediately after I deleted a scene I had made. I have a wedding this coming Saturday and I'd really like to use 2.0 for this particular venue, but I still have the previous software ready to go just in case.

Can't seem to find where anyone else has posted about these particular things. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
File is dated July 3.

By the way - the About doesn't work and the On-line help goes nowhere.

(my day job is software related - I find bugs ... some version info on the about would be great)

On my problem - in the scan library there are several ColorStrip profiles available. I change to a different on - now using the one simply claled "colorstrip" and it works. So, the issue is profile related.

Is there a 2.0 profile editor available?

Another item just noticed. I'm having the same issue with Chauvet Intimidator 150 LED. If I insert it into the grid as a mode 2 (6 channel) it is ok until I save it and close the app. When I re-open it is showing as a mode 1 (11 channel and any fixtures added after the item are gone.

I assume because the 11 channel is longer than six it kicks out anything it overlaps with.

The are not other profiles to test against. I'm assuming this is another bad profile.

Hello David,
i have been trying to duplicate your issue (on the several profiles related too and including the ones you stated) and i can not duplicate the issue on my end. Can you please save your show and email me the file (email is bellow) i would be more than happy to fix this issue, but i have not been able to get my version (July3) to do the same thing...saving and reopening, saving and restarting the computer, saving shutting down and restarting, saving and opening on a different computer, saving and opening on older versions of the software....none of these ways had any issue opening up the exact profile load i had saved. None changed profiles on me the way you described. If you could save your show and send it to me, i would like to dig into your show and locate any issues. Thank you for your input
1. I've installed the Aug. 3 version but when I launc the software it says June 11 2012

1. You should add a help/about drop down for users to pull from while in MyDMX2.. (even if there are not help files availabe yet. At leastt we'll have the about info from w/in the program. Software version, If the dongle is recognized,etc. )

Hi,

I tested MyDMX 2.0 (I have bought full version with hardware on PC - 03Aug) and compared it with the MyDMX 1.0.

I must say that I am dissatisfied because MyDMX 2.0 is too unstable. Several times crashed during few minutes (I sent crash mails).

Also there missing:

- 3D View (I know that it will be in the next versions)

- Change type of display levels on the fader (DMX level, percentage level, none) - I need percentage display

Please for some update for more stable version soon as possible.

Thx.
I should have read this forum before investing 300 to upgrade to MYDMX 2.0.

Here is a bug: I want the scenes to loop one time, so I sent them in the editor to "1 loop". On the user tab, the scene button indicates that the scene should loop 1 time. Unfortunately, it loops two times. If I change the number of loops to "2 loops", clicking the scene button will cause the scene to loop 3 times. Whatever the number of loops, MYDMX 2.0 will look one more time. In sum, I can't create a scene that loops 1 time.

The old myDMX didn't have this issue. Why should I pay 300 USD to give myself such headaches? And how can you release such crappy software? I'm shocked. Just shocked.

Or is this just American DJ quality? I have 4 megabar LEDs that won't work properly in 11-channel mode. American DJ even admitted that they don't work correctly, and then DID NOTHING to make amends.

Whatever, either fix this bug, or tell me how I'm being an idiot... Right now MyDMX 2.0 is unusable !

I am running the "fixed" august 3 version on Windows XP SP2.
