Release 2016.48
Keith has added new feature to check your setup and your sequence.
Everyone give it a try: "Tools,Check Sequence".
Will display channel overlaps, models set to unassigned but allocated to groups that are visible, files that are mentioned that dont exist and more.


Nice job!

What a great idea.

downloaded, installed, tested; 0 errors 0 warnings


though I do have a very basic set up and sequence
 
Just noticed that whilst I selected a group and changed it to the default view from the drop down box, the group still showed in the unassigned view.


Wasn't until I exited xlights and re launched, that they showed in the correct preview.


Models disappeared\aligned to the correct preview straight away. Groups you have to exit for the change to take affect.

In the future you should report issues on Github. I just happened to notice this comment and that's my code doing this. I can see why its happening because I specifically was preventing a full model list refresh when you made a change in the group panel because for one it was unselecting the group when you do a full refresh. I missed this side effect though. The thing is if I change it to do a full refresh when you change the preview assignment you know what that means right? It's going to yank it right out of your hand so to speak because the group will disappear from the Layout page as soon as you change the assignment.
