Move on Dark can' be selected

[alg]

I have been plotting a show and found that I couldn't select "Move on Dark". It appear that at some point earlier the playback setting had been set to "General". Having plotted the show found that I needed Move on Dark but each time I made the change in Playback Defaults and saving it and closing defaults, the next time I looked in Playback Defaults it had been changed back to "General"! Any ideas why I can't select Move on Dark after plotting a show?

I have also had a problem with another, the Colour fade time default, this had been set to 3 sec. Again after plotting I found that I needed to change the time to 0 secs. This changed on the Q stack page but had (D3.0) on the Q line as well as 0.0. It appears that the default was held and was overriding the 0.0 setting I had entered. To get the fade to work as I wanted I had to deleted the Q and reprogramme it with the Colour fade time as 0.0. The (D 3.0) was removed and the fade working correctly. Again any ideas on what was happening here. 

I'm not sure if these are related problems or separate

Hello @alg,

Move on Dark can be enabled via entering your playback's settings (hold SETUP + Tap Playback's button) -> Move on Dark -> Enabled.
The 'General', 'Chase', 'Raise and Lower' etc. that you see along the top are tabs to access groupings of playback settings, they aren't buttons to adjust actual settings.

By default, when opening a playback's settings window, 'General' will always be the first tab selected (hence you see General every time you open the window), as they are general playback settings which aren't necessarily specific to other tabs such as 'Raise and Lower' or 'Chase'.

If you're perhaps thinking of playback defaults found in SETUP -> Defaults -> Playback Defaults, these settings will only be applied to newly created playbacks and will not change existing ones.

(D:3.0) in a fade time cell of a cue indicates a delay, with the time before it (0.0 in your case) indicating the actual fade time. If a cue had "5.0 (D:2.0)" in the "Up" cell, when going into that cue the console would delay executing the fade for fading up lights in that cue for two seconds, then proceed with the five second fade. This can be useful in cases for example where you don't want a moving light to come up until it has actually snapped into its position to prevent seeing it swoosh across stage during an intensity fade up.

Hope this helps, if you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask.
