Muiltiple sliders cause the last on the right to disappear. I can't give you the exact cut off number, but in my tests of 40 emitters and more, the multilight sliders are forcing the last in the row to disappear. The slider is still there, you just can't see it.
In each of my cases this has been the MXI/HDRI or the Sky dome slider.
Current workaround is to use the TAB key to jump fields, but without a visual representation, this is very difficult.
Perhaps an improved layout for the sliders can be implemented, with the use of a horizontal slide bar at the bottom of the slider window. This would allow more space between the sliders, so that long emitter names are legible, rather than the current jumble of letters.
The current import emitter to slider conversion for multilights, seems to use mesh name order, not emitter name order. Why can this not be emitter name?
Before my second test, I spent a long time naming my mesh objects and emitters to match, so that I could load my mxs in MXCL and have emitters 1-45 in that numerical order. However these became jumbled into an alphabetic order when the -ml mxs is opened. So my planned emitter 1 became emitter 30, with my planned emitter 2 becoming emitter 29 and so on.
Thanks,
Tim.
