Dual Programmers

I was thinking about this whole concept yet again, and it really seems like it'd be a great idea. Very often, I end up building off cues throughout the night, using blind mode to apply a snap or fade effect as the music comes along. All to often however, before I can save the effect or whatever I was upto, I want something else to come along that I want to fade it from the programer as well ... which leads me to my concept...

It'd be great to be able to have TWO ltp programmers, that you could switch between, to do exactly what I want, activated one (that would show on stage) with the other in able to be blinded until it either LTP'ed when blind is released, or combined via a "selectable" priority or something..

Now, this could be the results of far to many 16+ hour club nights, or just my bad programming habits ... who knows ;-) :poke: :aargh4:

    Hey Stephen,

    You can actually already do this.....
    - record some blank Scenes or Cues (empty with no data)
    - then simply OPEN one of them.....this will give you a second Editor window (the Programmer is also an Editor)
    - make your changes and then un-BLIND......you will notice that the BLIND key state updated depending on which Editor you have active at the time. The right hand side of the command line also tells you which Editor is currently active. You can do this with as many Editors as you like....but I would stick with no more than 2 or 3 personally.

    Also CLEAR will only affect the active Editor, and you may want to chnge the option to not "close on clear" or "close on update" in preferences to keep the extra Editors from closing when you don't want them to.

    Hope this helps:)
