Hi All,
I brought some lights from Overseas (no-name brand) and created new fixtures using the Fixture definition editor, matching the channels and settings according to the lighting documentation. I have named all of the channels correctly (Pan, Pan Fine, Tilt, Tilt Fine, Pan & Tilt Speed, Dimmer, Strobe, Red, Green Blue etc. In the fixture editor all of the channels have icons that I have selected which show the corresponding channel function. There are 13 channels for these lights.
So I save my fixture to a file then import into Q Light Controller Plus, and when I look at the Simple Desk, all I can see if 13 channels for each light all named Dimmer # 1, Dimmer # 2 ... Dimmer # 13. However if I add another lighting fixture, my hemisphere 5.1 (which is already defined in as a fixture) all of the channels for that light have nice icons and display names so I can see what they do.
Can anyone advise what I am doing incorrectly where my channels have no Icons & names. Im a newbie at this so please forgive me if im missing something simple...
Cheers
My Light Fixture Channels in Simple Desk are all Showing as Dimmer # x

You must not import the definition into the program. The definition must be stored in the directory fixtures in your QLC+ home directory.
4 Q: Where is the QLC+ user folder located in my system?
A: The user folder is where user fixtures, input profiles, RGB scripts and MIDI templates go.
It changes depending on your operating system:
Linux: it is a hidden folder in your user home directory: $HOME/.qlcplus
Windows: it is a folder in your user (e.g. MyUser) directory: C:\Users\MyUser\QLC+
Mac OS: it is located in your user "Library" directory: $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/QLC+
You can reach any of these folders from a terminal with the 'cd' command. For example:
cd $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/QLC+
Please keep in mind that fixures and input profiles found in the user folder will have precedence over the same files in the QLC+ system folder.
