track attributes

Is there a way to quickly open all attributes in the Track tab?  I find that I frequently go into and quickly hit focus, color, and beam, which on top of being three keystrokes has sometimes crashed the console I think just because I'm asking it to do too many things at once.  It seems that in Congo logic, I should be able to hit Palette in Track to open all attributes, but that doesn't work. 

 

Thanks.

  • Hi Mark,

    Sorry to say that there is no other way to expand all the attributes. It could be handy to have this kind of shortcut and it would probably be Format & Attribute instead of Format & Palette. But both could work in Congo's logic.

    Part of the reason why we don't have these syntaxes is that the Tracklist is limited to show only about 30 columns at a time. This is because of performance issues to be on the safe side. Potentially you could otherwise create a huge huge list when expanding the attributes columns. Imagine 30 devices with 30 attributes show at once. That would be 900 colums..
    It's easier to expand all attributes for one device, then step thru all the devices you want to see individually. I would say that most of the time you are looking at only one device at time in the tracklist or only one parameter of multiple devices. Correct?

    I haven't seen any crashes with this function. When did you experience the crashes? In which software version? I often press Format & Focus, Color, Beam and open all parameter groups at once and have had no problems with stability.

    You are correct that most of the time I am looking at one device at a time.  Sometimes I will look at a small number of devices at the same time (2 or 3) and I believe these are the times that it crashed.  It has only happened probably 2 times out of the hundreds that I have done in over the past few weeks, and we are running v5.0.  I can't particularly recall anything different about those times to cause the crash. 

     

    Also, I find that I frequently go in to remove changed values from a particular device and most of the time I'm removing all attributes, but have to arrow across to each column to delete each attribute one by one.  Is there any way to highlight the whole row and then delete all the arrtibutes at once?

     

    Thanks

    Hi Mark,

    If there is a full coloum you need to delete then hit coloum, if there is a line or group, Hold select and use the arrow keys to highlight what you want to remove.
