Hide unused groups?

As an alternative, assuming, of course, that what your asking is not doable with the current software, perhaps you could make Group 1 Channels 1-10, Group 2, channels 11-14, and then label them "Group 1" and "Group 11".

This might, of course, get confusing if you want to recall them from the command line, but as far as using the direct selects, should produce a comparable effect to a flexi-view direct selects.

A good idea, except that the group label doesn't appear on the command line- so when the LD calls for group 201 and they see "group 14"  on the command line on their monitor they freak out.

I thought about using decimal group numbers, like Group 0.01, Group 0.11, group 2.01- they would work on the direct selects, but there is that pesky decimal point that would probably get forgotten and it's more keystrokes on the command line.

The "flexi-group" option would make it easier for the board op (using either direct selects or command line).

I (like to) think of myself as a hard-core programmer; - and even if we have got many fancy buttons all over the place, it is actually faster to do it manually in the old, alpha-numeric-way. You push buttons much faster then he/she talks.

So, if you have failed to train your LD (shame!); - just push digits. I assure you; it's much faster!

The intent of my feature request is to make selecting groups via direct selects easier but that in no way means that I won't still use the command line.  That said, it would be faster to use the direct selects (with flexi-DS), if for no other reason than it is fewer actions for the board op to perform.

For example - to select groups 1 + 11 + 201 and put them on the command line:

• Direct selects = 3 touches on touchscreen
• command line = [group] [1] [+] [group] [1][1][+][group][2][0][1] = 11 keys

As for training the LD, it's a sytem that works for him and he has been using it for decades.  It's faster and easier for him to remember, so I'm not going to ask him to change how he sets up his groups without having a really good reason.  I deal with many LD's with very different styles of working and it's my job to adapt to them, not the other way around.
