Can you please check the latest release. @computergeek1507 Scott has pushed a fix or two..

just did the update to 16. pushed out config files to both genius controllers and it still corrupts the files. If i make a manual file by hand and save it that works. So, its still not what needs fixed. :(

Hey everyone, just a heads up that this was a bug in Genius, not in xLights if long range ports are configured with 0 pixels. This has been fixed in the latest release 1.4.0
