Under V1.5, I have found that the SW spot-lights come across as advertised, but in a somewhat unexpected way. In my test case, I have defined three spot-lights along with some other lighting (which, as documented, do not transfer). Each of the spots are transfered as both an object and as a material and are named (in this case) SW#4, SW#5, and SW#6 for both the object and the material.
All of the spot-light emitter materials show up with a large red "X" across them. My initial reaction was that there was some sort of problem or something was not found. Upon closer inspection, the large red "X" is an indication that there is no preview. I found this (the large "X") in the material icon to be misleading. I would suggest changing this to something that is less of an error indicator as this is (I assume) the expected behavior. Additionally, the lights have wattages of between 50,000 and 100,000 watts, which is substantially more than I would have expected. Is this the expected wattage? Finally, there are three more objects named screenSW#4, screenSW#5, and screenSW#6. I am unclear as to what these are or what role they play.
Thanks,
Ken
