โ€ŒVersioning the Action Node

Donโ€™t use the Action Nodeโ€™s โ€˜Saveโ€™ button to create backups of the Action Node, for example to compare different results. That will prevent โ€˜Receive from SynthEyesโ€™ from finding the node, since it looks for the node with the right name. If it canโ€™t find it, and thereโ€™s only one Action node, it will ask about renaming it, but thatโ€™s not the best approach.

Similarly, you could Save the node, then change the name back to the correct

name (typically Cam1Action), but thatโ€™s not terribly convenient.

Instead, you might Duplicate the Action node in the Batch Schematic; you can create and compare multiple versions that way if you like. Use the correctly-named one as the official one going forward, and the others as a backup, so that further โ€˜Receiveโ€™ operations update the correct Action node, not what you consider a backup.
