xlDoAutomation New Sequence command broken

[patdelaney]

Describe the bug
I'm experimenting xLights Automation, I'm wondering if the xlDoAutomation command for new Sequence might be broken. Based on the api doc in xlights I should be able to do a:
post http://localhost:49913/xlDoAutomation with the following json payload:
{"cmd":"newSequence", "force":"true"} i have also tried
{"cmd":"newSequence", "force":"true", "mediaFile":"", "durationSecs":30, "frameMS":50, "view":"All Models"}
The it opens the new sequence dialog, but it never select Animation and frame rate, it just hangs.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
I'm using Postman for the API test
Here is the early beginning of a postman project

xLights.postman_collection.json

Expected behavior
It should create the animation
