During a discussion re. [[macros:example:repatchselectedfixtures|]] Gregory explained:

> The SelectDimmerAddress function is related to pending dimmers and dimmers with multiple DMX addresses assigned to them. The Patch View shows these as different rows and there are functions to specify which of the potentially multiple dimmer addresses is selected and therefore being edited (they all belong to the same fixture so in that case it is not enough to just give the fixture). In general, you can just ignore this functionality, what you might find is if you did repatch a dimmer with multiple addresses, you would lose all but one of them. I could try to work out what you would need to do to repatch the additional addresses of dimmers (and fixtures) but it probably isn’t worth it and can mostly be ignored. In an ideal world we might take out the complicated bits associated with this when we have the ability to store values against a group since it would be better to have one general purpose piece of code instead of some very specific code just for dimmers.
