Hello,
when I save the Lightmix values during my work and than add new lights to the scene and generate light mix again, then reload my saved LM File for the lights i already worked out, the whole values are messed up in sense of order.
It seems that Corona Frame Buffer read the file from top to bottom and the light intensity values (and colours) are not fixed to a particualr light source .... thats pretty messed up :-(

The intended workflow is to only use Autogenerate once you are fairly sure most lights are in your scene, and only make production changes to LightMix values once you are also sure that most lights are in there; then when smaller changes are made to lights in the scene (additions, deletions) LightMix can then be manually updated as that is easy to do for just a few lights, adding them to existing LightSelects or creating new ones. Reusing autogenerate will indeed overwrite values etc. so if still making major changes to the lights in the scene, best to avoid doing anything precise and final with the LightMix settings.
Another option if you do make production final tweaks to lights before finalizing the lighting in the scene, is to bake those values back into the scene, then you can use autogenerate again, and your previous changes were transferred from LightMix to the pre-existing lights.
We have it noted that some folks may want to do otherwise than these workflows, but there's no timeframe on if and when we might revisit that, sorry.

ok thank you.
But sometimes i have to make the interior light really bright to get a glimpse what happens inside
So i have push the lights to its limits. when i do this in the light properties and want to lower it later on i have to do such small steps that it wouldnt be as precise as the other way around ...

Would be great if you can link them together so we dont have to write the number down and manual insert them later on :-) Thanks in Advance
