ice Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 The name field of the memories screen often is a bit too small. It would be nice if we could insert special "name" memories. These would be coloured name would contain only a name. You can't select them by scrolling, you can just alter the name by pressing F2->memories and entering Nx for a number. When you don't enter a name (or delete the current one) the memory will be deleted. Adding a name memory could done by pressing F2 and then press program. Advantage: you can create groups of chases (gobo/colour etc) or groups of certain memories (for example scenes in a play) without losing name information.... It could look like this for instance: N1 | Gobo chases 11 | full speed prism 12 | prism / open 13 | -- N2 | Colour chases 14 | red / blackout 15 | blue / yellow 16 | UV / red etc... or: N1 | Scene 1 01 | Full stage 02 | Focus left 03 | Blue wash 04 | Black Out N2 | Scene 2 05 | Full stage 06 | Song 07 | End Just a suggestion, I think it would increase readability of the memories screen because the overview is much better when you've got lots of memories.

sp Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 I like this idea (and perhaps add it to the submasters as well?) - I don't see why they couldn't be selected by scrolling though? sp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nighteyes Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 i'd like to jump in and mention another idea here. I have mentioned it earlier, but i'd like to be able to color the memory name fields themselves. This would offer more overview of what is what. Say, gobochases could be made green, colorchases yellow, movement chases red. etc. Quote if one million people say a foolish thing, it is still a foolish thing.

ice Posted April 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 When you could select them with by scrolling you'd have to implement actions with the go button (or error-messages). Also when walking through the memory-stack you would hit those memories and have to advance manually to the next one, that doesn't work I think. The memories should only exist for what they're made for, and all other functions should just skip these mems. Quote > 500 posts, time for a new T-shirt?
