the Hog4 software is not yet released - when it is, it will be free as was/is hog3pc software - but you still need widgets or DP's to output DMX/artnet from hog4PC..
Do the widget compatibility change between all the hog pc version? Like for hog 3 do I have to have a different widget than I would for the hog 4 software?
Alright, so dumb question....is it possible to manually create user kinds on the pc version? As i read you have to hold down open and hit kinds at the same time and I'm not sure how to do that or am I just reading it wrong on how to do it. I'm also not using touch screens.
You have to active keyboard shortcuts (O for Open) and after press the kind touch you want to edit or click with left button of mousse on Open key and press shift on keyboard and than press the kind touch you want to edit.
Manual 26.1 Page 391: Keyboard Shortcuts You can use an external keyboard to operate many of the Hog 4OS's functions. This is especially useful if you are using Hog 4PC. You can toggle keyboard shortcuts on and off using the Pause or Break key on the computer keyboard. When shortcuts are enabled (known as map mode), the computer keyboard is mapped to the shortcuts; when disabled, text entry via the computer keyboard is possible. The current status is shown in the Command Line Toolbar; see Figure 26.1, “Keyboard Status in the Command Line Toolbar”. Whenever possible, Hog 4OS intelligently disables the keyboard shortcuts when text entry is expected (after pressing Set or double clicking in a cell). When the text entry session is completed, the shortcuts are automatically re-enabled. By default, shortcuts are disabled when you start a show. When shortcuts are disabled, only the shortcut mapped to the Set key remains functional to allow quick labeling from the external keyboard.
