FEATURE REQUEST: Remove/Add Fixtures by Entire Brand

Post by puddnutz »

Maybe there is a way to do this, but I think it would be nice to have the ability to remove fixtures from the Controller by entire brand groups rather than one at a time.

It's very time consuming in the WTOOLS software to go to the Fixtures menu, find the fixture brand family in the list, click the "X" on a fixture I want to remove, then confirm I want to remove it, then wait for the software to reload so I can get the next one.

On the flip side it is equally as cumbersome to sync fixture profiles back to the device if you need to sync back more than one (1).

3000+ fixtures available on the Wolfmix by default, and I'm really only ever going to encounter maybe a few dozen of them. I'd rather grab what I need as I need it rather than having everything available all at once.

Thanks, team, for an otherwise absolutely wonderful product!

You can remove ALL fixtures from the Controller anyway. You still have those fixtures you need in the Online Library to re-sync to the Controller at any time, so you only have to manage "your" fixtures - not 3.000 other (not used) ones. No real need to have all the others on the controller.

Open WTOOLS, hold "Shift+Cmd+"D" you can now select the DEBUG Mode of WTOOLS. WTOOLS will restart and in menu bar on top of screen you find Debug menu. Inside you have "Erase all Fixtures" (from Controller) - you still have access to all 15.000+ fixture profiles in the Cloud.

Hi! Thank you for the reply and sorry for the delay of my own.

I would like to mention I use mine with Windows, not a Mac.

But on a lark your guidance did show me that the Reporting mode in the Windows version does have the same option to remove all fixtures.

Still not *really* what I'm after...again having the ability to select groups of things would be preferred because so many other programs have this capability, but it gets me in the direction I want to go.
