    Hello Massimo,
    hi everyone,

    maybe there is a bug in the dmx dump functionality.
    It does not save pan/tilt correctly, and does not remender the previous selected channels, but selects channels by chance.

    Tested on: qlcplus 4.7.3 and 4.7.4 on Ubuntu 12.04 i686
    qlcplus 4.7.4 on Ubuntu 14.04 x86_64

    Reproduce:
    - open a new workspace
    - add a Moving Head, e.g Showtec Phantom50 (definition shipped with qlcplus).
    - switch to run mode
    - switch to simple desk
    - set some values to the pan and tilt channels,
    - then do a dmx dump, only selected channels, save to scene.
    - select pan and tilt from that fixture, then save.

    If you take a look at the saved function, only pan is saved, sometimes another channel (let's say, colour) is selected randomly, too.

    Any help is appreciated.
    Many thanks and regards,
    Ulf

    Hi,

    I can reproduce your problem.

    So,

    good news:

    1. The problem is fixed in git https://github.com/mcallegari/qlcplus/commit/5e4045cc82fe7e8feca5d8973ca6deccdde4849f

    2. The problem was, that when saving scene, instead of using channel number, it used channel's order in the tree. I.e. when ordered by name, Tilt is 7th, so channel 7 is used. So you may have some luck if you want to save channel #3, just click 3rd item in the channel list.
