Bring back YAML Config! #28

Open areyoufserious opened 2 years ago

areyoufserious commented 2 years ago

Dear author, please bring back possibility to add devices via YAML config. I have a hundreds of generated effects for Cololight stored in YAML strings, it's impossible to add all of them using UI!

BazaJayGee66 commented 2 years ago

Any effects that were created as part of yaml should have been automatically migrated to the UI, and shouldn't need to be created again.

Release v1.3.2 was the last release to support yaml, and supports hexagon devices.

I understand your frustration, however I'm not planning on bringing back yaml support at this stage. Reason for it being removed can be found here.

This is very sad. I guess this is bad news for Cololight users that have a lot of device, play and improve it As i understand main reason to remove this feature is increasing of maintainability. Can you just leave JAML configuration as is without support or/and under some flag? Adding thousand of effects is impossible via UI, and jumping between versions is confusing and absolutely uncomfortable process...
