DMX IN with QuickShow - how to select the category?

[PulzWave]

I have created a new category for all my cues. But I'm not able to select them with DMX IN, because the DMX protocol does not have a way to choose the category.

I'd hoped it would count from the first category, but it just skips my category. Any idea?

If I move the PulzWave category between "Graphics" and "Abstracts", it gets skipped as well.

Here is a small video that illustrates the issue. Note that the most left PulzWave category is not reached with DMX.

In the meanwhile I just moved my cues into the Graphics category and made a new page there.

However I also learned that the DMX IN implementation of QuickShow is not great. DMX commands are processed with lag, so that I had to manually start cues earlier to make it sync to the music (triggered via SoundSwitch).

However MIDI mapping works flawlessly in QuickShow, so I built my own SoundSwitch to MIDI interface with Python which suits my needs.
