Issue transfer from Avenue 6 to Avenue 7

[Piotrus04]

Hi all,
i tried importing my version 6.1.3 compositions to Avenue 7 demo version.
I have 31 columns in one deck.

When i use the function in the menu to import avenue 6 compositions,
i can only see 8 columns no more.

I read in a text editor the .avc renamed as .xml,
and i can see that the compositions file contains effectively 31 columns...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<Composition name="Composition" uniqueId="1499333061498" numDecks="2" currentDeckIndex="0"
numLayers="5" numColumns="31" compositionIsRelative="0">
<versionInfo name="Resolume Arena" majorVersion="7" minorVersion="0" microVersion="4"
revision="66319"/>

somebody knows how to solve this main issue ?

all the best

In the XML, are all of your uniqueID's unique?
Going from Arena 6 to 7 worked great for me.
Personally, anytime a Major release is pushed out, that is the time of year when I rebuild my comps from scratch. Especially when my original comp is over a year old. Gives me the time to re think my strategy and learn the new features. Might be a good idea for you too if you have the time?

Great ! really, thanks for the advice.

For Avenue 7, i rewrote all my ffgl plugins for 64 bits in xcode.

And yes, you're right, i did a mistake, and one of my plugins had the same uniqueid than another.

it is working well now. I retrieve all the columns of my compositions.

thanks

Good catch

What plugins have you made? Just for OSX?

This is a bug in 7.0.4. Will be fixed in 7.0.5, or you can use 7.0.3 meanwhile.

Thank you very much.
In my case, the problem came from the double uniqueid used in two different custom plugins.
during the composition being opened, it seemed that avenue stop the "open process" when first occurence of another plugin with same uniqueid appeared.

thanks

I made a serie of plugins, quite simple, 2d transform, smoothers and particles customized for my needs in visualsystem.org, yes just os x
