Advanced Fog of War and Light Sources

I've been trying to figure out the ins and outs of this fantastic update and am a bit stumped on the problem illustrated below. The token on the left (Chip) is moving through heavy smoke and can only see 20ft.  There is a lit torch up ahead.  Surprisingly, Chip can see the torch clearly. I am pretty sure its because the torch has "All players see light" checked. You can work around this by only ticking the All players box when they could actually see it.  Which is pretty much in line with how the system works without Advanced Fog of War and it correctly respects Dynamic Lighting boundaries. It's a bit of a pain, though not insurmountable. Is there anyway to set up the Advanced Fog of War such that the torch's light is not seen until the player's Advanced FoW View Distance overlaps?

There is no automatic way to do this.  You could use regular Fog of War or toggle the torch one when they come within range as you mentioned.
Thanks for the confirmation!
