GDTF import get wrong SubFixture ID

Hi,
when importing a GDTF fixture definition, the SubFixture ID parameters are not correct: they get usually a value between 1 and 3, I've compared them with the software fixture library and they should be 0 as suspected (because they're not multi-element fixtures).
I've just discovered this software and so far I really like it.

Axcor 300 - standard
Rogue R2X wash - 22ch
Right now I've started a new project to learn the software and I've imported these fixture in an empty show, I had the same issue few days ago when I imported an MVR from BlenderDMX, then I thought that the import was still experimental.
I guess it doesn't matter, I'm on linux.

Hi, I've just imported again the mvr from Blender, here you can see the result, the "Default" fixtures are from Blender, the other were downloaded by the extension itself. Warm... regards.

Blender PAR
Blender RGB
gdtf Axcor
gdtf Rogue

Now I'm not on the software but if I remember right, when there are 2 or more subfixture elements they're numbered 1 + 2 + ... and the other parameters from 0. I've seen it with the mac aura - original.
With 0 it's evident that the parameter is not a subfix and it would be coherent with blinderkitten fixture library.
Anyway from your question I guess that the problem would be that gdtf multi-element fixtures will always start from 0,
so the sub-elements would be numbered 0 + 1 + 2 + ...
If this is the question, it's better to keep the ID 1 to avoid more confusion later: ID 1 will be always the first element for gdtf and blinderkitten fixtures, ID 2 the second element etc etc.
