Store list window

Hiya!


I use the List window a lot, and perhaps many others, to have fast access to lists and fire them with one touch. Its really nice, becouse we can use over 70 cuelists on one window, and 70 more on the other display.

I think most of us use lists with one single cues for typical busking shows.

Now when we build all of that, we take the parameters and records it to a list, fine..

But when we update them, we need to:
1. open a list.
2. press edit.
3. make changes.
4. press update.


... isnt that a really anoying way of doin it if you have a show with 100+ lists that needs to be updated for a new rig youve just arived to and you have 30 min changeover to make final check and possible add some new stuff?

So what i suggest is that you guys make this happen instead:
1. we change parameters we would like in the programmer, add or "out" parameters to remove.
2. press record.
3. press desired list to be updated.
4. window pops up and asks: record new cue, make update to cue, overwrite cue.

its just so much cleaner instead of see thousands of big windows poping up all the time.. the cleaner interface, the faster we work. As we all know, Time=Money.

You know, "big 'ol granny" has been doing this since old times, why not hog..

And why do i make this post to long? well i think lots of users would like this, and im on the train trying to program for a show and it would save me lots of time.. :)

    [QUOTE=Marty Postma;59436]Because you don't have to wait for the system to throw up a popup window....then move your hand to the window to make a selection....then move you hand back to the keypad.

    If you are a fast programmer, you can do this all from H3 command line without waiting, so it might be a few more keystrokes, but it takes less time.

    At least on H3 you only have to press Clear once. :D



    Don't press Record....press Merge.
    Eliminates 1/2 of your keystrokes.

    I agree with Leggy in that you probably should build your cues from palettes, then update the palettes....then the appropriate Colour, Beam, Position, etc in your cues all update accordingly.....kinda the whole point. ;)

    Scenes only have one "look"....you cannot make a "stack" in a Scene the way you can in a List.

    It is just a different approach than other desks...once you're used to it, you'll be surprised how fast you can really go.

    Hope this helps. :)


    About the lift hand thing and the system to popup a window.. Seriously?
    It takes half a second for the system to do that.

    Yes i use palettes for everything in my cues, but some of them not.
