I've tried to do a search but couldn't find anything, but is it possible to remove all fixture definitions so i can only add the ones i need?
Also i have created various versions of different definitions as i got them wrong, how do i delete them from showing in the fixtures menu (when adding fixtures)
Option Like "Favorite Fixture" ?
Yes good
Don't understand what you are trying to say there Rodolfo.
[Note: this topic belongs to "Issues" forum]
If you want to remove your fixtures, go to user folder (see qlcplus.sourceforge.net/docs/questionsandanswers.html#user-folder) and delete them.
If you want to remove system (predefined) fixtures, go to system folder (where QLC+ is installed) and remove them. You also need to remove them from FixturesMap.xml in the system folder.
Sorry, i didn't think it was an 'issue' topic as it concerned fixtures.
I've had a look, and still can't seem to locate my fixture files i've created on my mac.
I've even unhid all files on the system and i can't see them.
the example in the online manual (cd $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/QLC+) does not even exist.
Guys, I'm getting nervous...
Why in the first place you want to remove all the QLC+ fixtures ? Doesn't make any sense to me.
Secondly, do you expect us to read your mind by not telling us which OSX version you are using ? (and before not even that ?)
"cd $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/QLC+" is a terminal command. It's written in the documentation.
Are you sure you know how to use your computer ?
Anyway, forget that. I doubt you could go further even if the command worked.
Do you have a directory called "Library" in your user home directory ? Look it up with Finder.
Massimo, the only reason i wanted to remove the fixtures is for the simple fact that i'm not going to use them, and i don't want to scroll through unnecessary fixtures, but thats just my thoughts.
Im using OS X 10.10.1.
And looking at my finder under Macintosh HD > Users > Dean(Home) there is no "Library" folder.
There's always the search box in the "Add fixture" dialog, so you don't need to scroll all the way through.
Anyway, in OSX the "system" fixtures are bundled into the DMG package.
Not sure if you can, but you need to remove them from there following Jano's instructions
[EDIT] As for the Library folder, I can't help. Any other Yosemite user can confirm or deny if Apple's genious moved/removed it ?

Massimo, i just went to the fixture editor mode and tried to open up one of the files and they appear as normal, however if i go through the normal finder, some of the folders are not available to view (see added pics).
This is why i'm wondering why i can't find the specific folder as i 'can't see it 'normally'
Finally got into the folder, by using the option, command and L key to gain access.
