Live Patch bug (I hope)

Ringen · Dec 8th 2020

When leaving LivePatch with "Discard" some fixtures make a short but very visible Zoom-change.

The fixture I noticed this on was a GLP X4 in Hires mode.

Particularly strange after "Discard" I think.

Anyone else noticed this?

Yes this is a known issue with v1.3

Discarding changes when exiting the LivePatch is effectively the same as applying changes when exiting the (Blind)Patch:

= initializing another setup than the one currently in use.

Please retest with the next version (when it gets released), there should no longer be a Discard option when exiting LivePatch.

In the meantime, avoid this issue by leaving LivePatch with 'OK' and not 'Discard'

Yes I had this happen with my X4s as well. Glad to see it will be fixed in v1.4!

"Discard changes" didn't that mean "Do not apply my changes (I messed up...)"

I would think that still could be usefull?

I find it more useful to not be bothered by a popup, when leaving.

If things got messed up, just use the Oops key.

Good point, but I don't really trust the Oops key yet on a general basis.

You could also risk to inadvertently change the patch without noticing when later trying to Oops something that was NOT oopsable...

I'm thinking I could live with a popup.

Is there a Un-Oops ?

Or a list to show what Oops will do?
