When the SW spotlights are brought across, the apparent names/ids that are assigned look like "SW#1", "SW#2", etc. In addition, the order that they are presented in also doesn't seem quite right. I suspect that this has to do with order that they are stored in within SW. In one example that I have, the lighting is presented as "SW#4", "SW#2", "SW#3" in Maxwell, but are simply Spot1, Spot2, Spot3 in SW. What's the mapping?

It would be nice, if the SW lighting names were used instead of the internal ids. This would make it much easier to adjust the mulitlights as the naming could be more meaningful. For example LowerSpot or RedHilight, etc. This becomes especially important as the number of lights goes up.

V2 has only been out for a week and already I'm are asking for enhancements...shame on me. I usually wait until at least the second week.

Hi Ken,

I'm using a SW API method to obtain those 'SW#4' names as I iterate through the lights. I'll look into whether or not there exists some other method that might be able to give me the name from the UI.

Cheers,
