Customize Toolbar - Problematic bug in 2.6.0.0

Hello

I'm really sorry to have to say that, but, there's really problematic bug in Fixture Type Editor 2.6.0.0. (that's the one I'm currently using, not sure for previous versions).

 

Today, I started to write a new fixture types for Proel Dreamlight 1200 Eclipse Spot, which has 3 operating modes, two 24ch and one 32ch, therefore I had to create 3 fixtures, and spend really long time in adding parameters so far, and since Proel's pdf does not include dmx stoppers for colors, shutter/strobe etc, but only the channels of the parameters! (that suck, though...)., I had to do that realtime with the moving head controlled by usual fader! That took me 3 hours so far.

 

Anyway, I'm stuck at addind 30th parameter in second fixture (at least didn't spent 2 more hours for the thirdone yet!) because I accidentally doubleclicked the Toolbar, and so got opened Customize Toolbar window. Looks like you guys kinda forget on thatone when programming, since the availible buttons as well as current buttons lists are empty, but that's not the issue. The button Close, neither right-click and selecting Close, neither pressing on the red X at the top of the window, neither using Alt+F4 DOESN'T WORK to close that window. It's simply stuck there, and, the most problematic thing is, that it's focused.

So, now, because of my stupidity of not saving regularly, I can't save the file I just spent 3 hours on, and can't do anything else but force closing the Editor from within Windows Task Manager.

 

Since I'm mentioning bugs, also, the shortcuts for cut/copy/paste (Ctrl+X/C/V) doesn't seem to work within editor, so need to copy text with right click copy/paste command.

 

I'm sorry for this, because, yes, I'm really pissed right now, because I wasted my time, and have to use these light tonight, so I'm nervous, but I completely understand it's not your fault for the bugs, since these are not intended to be there, but more likely my fault for not saving it, and Proels of course, for not giving users the proper pdf file of the fixture ;)

 

Anyway, had to have you known, so, hope you'll fix this as soon as possible.

 

Thank you,

 

 

Bye, Marc
