Feature Requests -- Browsing Folders & Copying Cues

I'm hoping that future releases will allow easier browsing to folders other than the show archive when opening and saving. When using Nomad as the offline editor, I'm often working on several different shows in the course of a single day, and I greatly prefer to keep my Ion file in the same folder as the other data for that show.

I'd also like to see the "minus" key work when copying cues, so that:

[Cue] 101 [CopyTo] [Cue] 103 [-] [Label]

would copy all attributes except the label (or whichever attribute(s) the user chooses not to copy).

  • A workaround I use is to "share" the show archive folder and then map that share to a drive in the file explorer.  Eos sees the mapped drive and lets you access it. Unfortunately Eos doesn't show the name of the share, so you need to remember which is which.  If all your shows are in sub-directories of one directory, you can share the parent directory instead.

    The details (for Windows10, older versions are similar):

    • Navigate to the show archive folder in file explorer
    • Right-click on the folder and select "share with" "specific people"
    • Add your user name in the popup and click "Add"
    • Click "share" to exit and save
      • in the window that pops up, note the name of the share.  It looks like: \\compname\folder

    ==== next ====

    • Click on the "Home" page of file explorer
    • Select the "Easy access" dropdown "Map as drive"
    • In the popup, pick a drive letter --  "X" for example
    • In the Folder box, type the name of the share you noted earlier:  e.g.  \\computername\folder
    • click "Finish"

    in the Eos dialogs you will see a new item, "Windows (X:\)"  -- the "X" is the drive you chose earlier
