hmm, not sure if this is the norm, but when i have tweaked light settings in lightmix and then add in another light into the scene- I click on generate lightmix to get the new light listed in the mixer , all the settings that i had set in lightmix return to defaults (all lights are set to 1 and white), effectively loosing all the previous tweaks i had :-(
don't remember having this issue before
using corona5
thanks

It was a change made in Corona 5 to avoid situations where settings were carried over unexpectedly. To be honest, when adding one other light, I did not expect people to reuse the Generate button, but just to add it manually, only using the Generate when they first set up their lights and it would be tedious to add 20 different things manually; but since the change it seems lots of people are adding just one light and doing a total regenerate. So we are looking into what is the best behavior in this situation :)

The old functionality worked well for me, FWIW. Appreciate you all revisiting this.

ok thanks for that, thought i was imagining things ;-)
I must be doing something wrong, how do i get the new light to appear in the LightMixer without hitting 'setup lightmix', simply creating one doesn't automatically have it appear in lightmixer...

Add a LightSelect in the Multipass, then you select what light(s) go into it - see
Oh well darn it doesn't start at the chosen time when dropped in here, it's 13 minutes and 51s

ahh, i guess i should have watched that in its entirety when i first saw it,
that's great
thanks
