[Record] {Selected} with nothing selected records everything

I don't disagree. We currently have Bug #10386 "Record selected doesn't work if fixture selection is blank". I have linked your forum post to the bug.

When I want to record a blank cue I press [Clear] [Record] [Enter]. Am I missing something?

No you are not missing anything, I record blank cue the same way.

Yes, actually, you're missing that I want to record a blank cue while I have stuff captured in the programmer.

And [Clear] [Record] [Pig]-[Clear] is not always an option either. (Think life-safety issues while lighting acrobatic performers. They're prone to severe injury if the lights blackout in the middle of a stunt.)

Steeve,

What do you mean by restoring to everything back to what it was? Like in previous cue?
Default values?
How about copying previous cue? (with state)
Or if you want go to default values Record next cue, Open it, use .+Fixture, Update

Suppose I've got a bunch of cues already built.
......
Cue 102
Cue 103
Cue 103.5
Cue 104
....

I'm sitting in Cue 103. The designer asks for some stuff changed.
THEN he says "OK, now record this as cue 103, but I also want to make a Cue 103.25 that looks like what Cue 103 was before we touched anything."

With everything in the programmer, I used to be able to deselect everything in the programmer, record 103.25 (which would now be a blank cue), and then Update-Forward Off (aka Cue Only). That way, whatever values were in Cue 103 for the lights I touched would be pushed into the new 103.25 (even if those lights had been changing in the original Cue 103)

Now, I could copy Cue 103 to 103.25, Record Cue 103-Cue Only, and finally Unblock Cue 103.25... but that takes more time.

But again, finding a workaround is a distant second-place to the console just working right in the first place.

You can also record what is in the programmer as 102 .5 and after renumber the cues or renumber the cue 103 as 103.25 and record 103.

...not if the original 103 contained information for 50 lights, and you only want to change 10 of them. Recording the programmer as 102.5 and then renumbering will result in the new 103 being the state of 102 with the programmed changes added, rather than the state of the original 103.

You are, however, correct that the new 103.25 would look like the old 103 using that method.
