Thomas Pixelpar and Intensity channel??

Hi everyone, not sure if I'm being dumb and missing the point here.

Thomas Pixels pars in 4 channel mode.

Channel 1 - Red
Channel 2 - Green
Channel 3 - Blue
Channel 4 - Global INTENSITY

With the 4 channel definition, channel 4 is permantly output as full and the desk deals with intensity by changing the values on channels 1-3.

Also if i want to use the intesity for effect and select Intensity in the effects editor, channel 4 stays at full and again chanels 1-3 change. What is the point of a fixture having an intensity channel when it's stuck at full! You may as well just use the 3 channel definition and turn the 4th channel off on the fixture.

Any thoughts? Does this definition need changing??
