I created a custom fixture profile in the fixture editor, and saved it to the default location: home/pi/.qlcplus/fixtures (path is from memory, as I don't have the Pi in front of me now).

Nothing I tried allowed the custom fixture (a color-mixing fixture for 5-channel LED tape) to show up in the Fixtures tab in QLC+. I even edited the FixturesMap.xml file, following the syntax in the file, with no success. Am I missing a step somewhere? I feel like this should be easy, and I just didn't do something correctly.

I'm running Raspbian Stretch on a 3B+

QLC+ v.4.12.0


Thanks,

Going by memory, QLC+ is started at root level on the RPi, so the user folder is /root/.qlcplus

To jump on this. I do not have a root folder. I have saved one fixture, which does pop up in my QLC+ fixtures selection, but other fixtures I have saved do not.. Not sure where to go forward with this. Running a MBP M1.
