I would like to see a copy button on the model list window. I have 32 mini trees. It will be a pain to enter them one at a time. So if I could build the first one, maybe call it mini tree 1, then, with the mini tree 1 highlighted, if I clicked the copy button the program would automatically make mini tree 2, click again for mini tree 3 and so on.
Thanks,
Rick S
If you can edit XML files, it is pretty easy to do what you want.
In my case I wanted to clone my custom coroflake design, and it was easy to do so by editing the XML file xlights_rgbeffects.xml ... just name each copy with a unique name, and assign a new starting channel to each.
steve has thsi right. making a copy of your model shoud take about 10 seconds.
here is my megatree. it is locted in teh <models> ... </models> section
<models>
<model name="MTREE" DisplayAs="Tree 180" parm1="20" parm2="120" parm3="1" StartChannel="600" Order="RGB" Dir="L" Antialias="0" MyDisplay="1"/>
</models>
if i want 3 copies, the new models will start at channles 200,500,1000 respectively
<models>
<model name="MTREE" DisplayAs="Tree 180" parm1="20" parm2="120" parm3="1" StartChannel="600" Order="RGB" Dir="L" Antialias="0" MyDisplay="1"/>
<model name="MTREE1" DisplayAs="Tree 180" parm1="20" parm2="120" parm3="1" StartChannel="200" Order="RGB" Dir="L" Antialias="0" MyDisplay="1"/>
<model name="MTREE2" DisplayAs="Tree 180" parm1="20" parm2="120" parm3="1" StartChannel="500" Order="RGB" Dir="L" Antialias="0" MyDisplay="1"/>
<model name="MTREE3" DisplayAs="Tree 180" parm1="20" parm2="120" parm3="1" StartChannel="1000" Order="RGB" Dir="L" Antialias="0" MyDisplay="1"/>
</models>
