NOTE : Always make a backup of your configuration before performing a firmware
upgrade.
Shure as hell, yes!
But that doesn't save you from disaster either.
After upgrading to v1.3.69 my movingheads did not work. They were missing from the patch and the groups.
So instead of warning me that some fixtures are not recognized, they were silently ditched out of the config.
Which I did not notice right away. When I did, I tried to add them manually, only to find out they were missing out of the personalities list. I did have a copy of them in the user list, but because they where relabeled in the config they did not show up in groups.
So I reverted back to 3.65, still missing. Reverted to an older configuration, still missing.
When I looked in the showtec.xml in the program files folder the phantom led 75 beam was still there !
Afer few hours of cursing, a brainwave, maybe its in the common files!
And yes, somehow1.3.69 replaced the common showtec personalities with an older version.
Replaced file with recent version. Fixture shows up in fixturelist, but not in latest config.
Then made an import action fixtures, from an older version, finally fixtures show up, also in groups, hurray!
(amazing how much time clp seems to spend on loading a config, while saving happens in an instant)
Now half of my playbacks are greyed out, guess I'll have to spend some time to fetch these back!
