Controlling QLC+ Channels Groups from QLab using OSC

Generic issues not specifically related to a QLC+ area.

It appears that QLab OSC commands that control channels groups will not work until you open the Simple Desk page at least once. Is anyone seeing that same behavior with TouchOSC?

Oops, my post was too terse. Here are some details:
* QLC+ 4.10.4, tested on both Windows 7 and OS X 10.10.5 with Enttec Open DMX USB
* QLab 3.1.24
* Testing with a Tinkerkit DMX MOSFET receiver
* Note that on the OS X test, OSC is sent via localhost, where as on Windows it's over the network because QLab only runs on Mac

Here are the steps to reproduce:
1 - Create a workspace with OSC input and DMX output. Create a corresponding profile and autodetect the OSC command you are using.
2 - Add a single generic fixture, create a channels group containing it, and autodetect the OSC command for the group.
3 - Test that you can control your group using OSC (I can).
4 - Save the workspace and quit QLC+
5 - Open the workspace again
6 - Try your OSC commands (they don't work for me)
7 - Navigate to the Simple Desk
8 - Test again (now it works!)
9 - Navigate away from the Simple Desk to any other page
10 - Test again (it still works!)
