WARNING: loading a cuelist will remove timings

So.. just discovered this; I have a cue list i had (painstakingly) setup all my timings for the show to be hand Cue'd. Thought I'd give a go at putting it into the Show Manager, and I loaded a song .. and then my Cue List .. and when I did it wiped all my Cue timings and set the duration to $length_of_mp3/$number_of_cues. I didn't notice and with the years of abundant caution hitting <cmd>-s .. and saved over the file. Oops. I think it might be good to add a warning when placing a Cuelist on the show manager page that it's gonna do this.

I've found the best approach to using the Show Manager is to recreate everything in that interface. That's obviously not ideal, but, given how it interacts with existing functions, it seems the safest approach.

Hey Branson, by "cue list" do you mean "chaser"?
Cause in QLC+ terms, Cue list is a virtual console widget (which cannot be added to a Show at all), while Chaser is a function.
Also, were you using v4 or v5?
Thanks

Heh you are right of course :) it was a chaser on V4.
