Can't seem to delete layers anymore

Post by Oaktown »

I don't believe it's new behavior but I'm not 100% sure so I'm positing in this section!

I have 14 layers but only the first three have content in any of the decks, yet I can't seem to be able to remove layers! If I remove layers, when I switch decks, the layers reappear instantly.

Edit: I tried to group the top 10 layers and use the delete group and layers feature but the 10 layers came right back when I switched decks.

Yes, this is ticket #11245.
We're working on it.

Removing the layer in every deck should remove them for good.

I'm not able to do that because every time I switch decks, it adds the deleted layer(s) back.

If Resolume switches to a deck that had more layers in it when it was saved, it will add them back. So you need to delete and save on every deck. Then when you switch back, the layers will be gone.

Exactly, then you'd remove them again and again in every deck, and once you've done that in every deck then they should be gone for good.
Not so fun with many layers and decks though, but it works as a workaround.

Thanks for the tip, that works but it's still a painful process so hopefully that gets solved soon.

BTW, non playing layers don't really consume resources, so this won't cause performance hits.

Hello!

Did this ever get solved?

I am still experiencing the same issue, but I literally can't delete them at all!

If I delete all the layers in one deck then switch to another, they all return. If I delete those and return to the original deck, they have returned!

Please help as it's making my composition unnecessarily unorganised and it's starting to become quite an annoyance.

Big Thanks!

J
