Hi all

using the "toggle solo" and "toggle mute" funktion in the multilight pane I find that only the first emitter (or better the one showing on the very left of the pane) gets affected. How can I select another emitter to be toggled? Tried various things but for no good.

Also having soloed all emitters ("all" just for better explanation) wont get all emitters unsoloed - meaning you have to click on "S" of each emitter to turn off solo leaving you with "mute" set to active. Do that with all emitters and you have a dark scene. So you have to de-mute all emitters again before you can solo some emitter again. Thats a hell lot of clicks!

How can I do better?

Ah - and "reset all lights" will only reset slider values but not the solo/mute states. Can that behavior be changed somehow?

sorry for pushing but does really nobody run into this with multilight? or do you generally just use multilight with only few emitters?

There are some problems with this Toggle Mute/Solo.
But

So you have to de-mute all emitters again before you can solo some emitter again.

If all your emitters are muted, you just have to click the Solo button of one of the emitters. It doesn't work like that for you?

Well yes. But since all other lights are still muted I cant compare what that light contributes to the overall lighting. Only what it looks like alone. So I would have to make all the clicks to unmute all other lights first.
