Show freezes while button function menu is displayed [fixed]

Post by chris226 »

Whenever I right-click anywhere (ANY button, or the page bar) on the button board my ENTIRE show freezes until I make my selection from the menu, or I close the menu. I often change preset steps and speeds in LIVE. I can not have the entire show freeze every time I right-click. How do I prevent "freeze" when I right-click?

Note: I appears that right-clicking, (once the menu is up) advances all scenes to the next step; manual advance. I don't need a manual advance function.

Thanks

Chris

Following the recent possibility to have 2 screens with 8 boards for each screen in application Live (before it was only one screen of 4 boards), we decided to let aside the "preset" concept (no more improvement).

Regarding speed adjustement, this is effectively a problem.
Noted in the TODO list (we should work on this problem during second part of August month).

Thanks for the quick reply.

It was nice to have the "preset" slider, but it's OK the way it is now. I work in a nightclub and I use "preset" for things like color, gobo, shutter, on my scanning lights. It greatly cuts down on the number of scenes required and the fact the "step" name appears when I'm selecting my preset makes up for the missing slider.

My main concern is the unwanted "freeze" everytime I right-click the button board. If you believe this will be corrected by the end August, I'll just deal with it until then, if not, I'll have to reinstall V5 (and rewrite all my scenes, UGH!).

Are you reasonably certian this wll be fixed by the end if Aug.?

Kind Regards,

Dates for free software improvement are never 100% guaranteed, but this problem is in our priority TODO list.

"never 100% guaranteed"

Of course, that goes for ANYTHING associated with a COMPUTER!

I'll keep an eye out for the update/fix. Is this forum the correct place to look for it?

Yes it is.
Anyway, all members of this forum are supposed to receive an email for each new beta and stable version.

I'm not receiving emails as you previously mentioned. I checked my address in my profile and it's correct. It looks like 6.25 contains the fix I've been looking for; any idea when the stable version will be ready? Thanks.
