Hello Massimo,
this is the same request like:
https://github.com/mcallegari/qlcplus/issues/1381
but moved to Forum, like wanted.

The Problem:
Blackout should be the same as "Masterfader at Zero".
Actually it is a "All Channels to Zero", maybe needed for development, but thats really Bad for Movingheads, Effects, and so on.

Thanks for your great Work.
Hardy

... but what if you want to hard reset all channels?

Then name it not "Blackout".
Perhaps "Hard Reset" or "All Zero"?

But what about users that use the Blackout for years as All to Zero?
If this changes, this cause harm to users that have been using the function as it has been for many years.

Please distinguish between Blackout (all intensities to zero) which serves HTP channels(?) and Stop All Functions (which is a function reset) which serves the LTP channels.

Fredje, I think you're making a bit of confusion here.
Blackout was once resetting ALL channels (HTP+LTP)
As requested, I adapted it like all the consoles in the world do: reset only HTP channels
Stop all functions instead, stops ALL the running functions, leaving LTP channels where they were (so they're not reset too)

In conclusion, to reset ALL channels you now need to create a Scene with all your fixtures, with all channels enabled at zero and place a button in the VC.
