Hey, @John Scrip? I see how to filter to Favorites (on p108 of the 2.7 manual), but it doesn't seem to say how to *mark* one; does that video show how? (I'm in a rehearsal right now, and I can't look.)
I'm not in at the moment and I don't add new instruments often (although I frequent "patch > fixtures" (soft key) to list what's there and update if necessary (can't tell you how long I didn't know those fixtures weren't updating when I installed updates).
That said -- I could swear the list had a "favorites" (or something) section. No?
[EDIT] Just checked the manual. It's there. Something about a softkey that toggles between "Manfctr" and "Favorites" -- Top of page 13 here also: https://www.etcconnect.com/uploaded...ideo_Tutorial/Ion_L1_Workbook_v2.3.0_revA.pdf
The "favorites" he is referring to is NOT a filter.Rick, I'll have to check, but I believe "Favorites" is a separate filter from "Patched".
Well not really, there is a difference between profiles stored in the show file, and the whole profile database. When you patch fixtures it pulls the profile from the database and adds it to the show file. Then instead of searching through the whole database you only look through the profiles you actually use. The idea is you build your "master" show file with all the profiles you think you'll use and then you never need to look through the whole database. The "favorites" I'm sure can be customized but I've never had need.Ah. In short, Favorites isn't really Favorites, it is Patched, and hence is also not what I'm really looking for. Thanks.
I've spent a fair amount of time patching from scratch, for various reasons, so I am more sensitive to the issue; this is often the reason why things seem insane to me in the production space.
