If I want to change delete some gobo pictures in my fixtures profile and add new ones, how is this accomplished?

Open up the scan library found in the lumidesk folder in your start menu. Then navigate to the profile you want to edit and open it. Click on one of the channels you want to edit and it displays the values for that channel. Then right click and modify to change the icons you want to. It's a good idea to either SAVE AS and add edit to the end of the profile name, or backup a copy of the profile folders or the profiles you edit. When you install a lumidesk update the old files get re-written by the installation.

I editd the profiles for the martin mini macs, color splash jrs, and a few other fixtures that were missing info or incorrect; and I have to copy and paste them back into the library after every update.

Hi Guys

All my edited fixtures and commonly used ones I have copied, edited and saved into a folder called "1" that way all the fixtures I regularly use or have edited are in one folder at the top of the tree when patching, saves me time patching fixtures, then I copy that folder back in after a lumidesk update.

Hope that helps
Cheers
Simon
