Wondering if its possible
« on: August 06, 2017, 06:31:44 PM »
Hi team - just wondering if it is possible for the following:
1.  When house preview is undocked from xlights, and it gets to a certain size, is it possible to add play back control (rewind 15 seconds, back to start, pause, play) along the bottom.  I often work on the laptop and make the house preview screen full screen.  Often if I see something wrong, I have to minimise the window, find pause/stop which can take a few seconds.  Having it in the window would save some time.  Also, could the time playing clock be added as well?  Helps with seeing what part of the sequence it is up to.
2.  Can a sequence have more than one mapping file to it?  If the answer is no, would it be possible to have the sequence remember what mapping file is associated with it, and auto load it?

Just a question about importing effects (not sure if I should post this in a new section).  I imported a sequence over the weekend and thought I had the order correct.  Say it was arches 1-4 going to my arches 1-4.  Running the sequence the timing was out.  it should have gone 1,2,3,4 but instead, it was going 3,2,4,1.  (Not sure if I did this next step correctly).  Went back and loaded my mapping file and remapped the arches in the correct order.  However when I went back to sequencer it had remapped the effects, but had left some of the old effects in place.  If I remap should it clear the and add the new effect, or just add the new effect over the top?

For #1 I'm just not interested in doing that...maybe another developer will.

For #2 mapping files are not and will not be tied to a particular sequence.  Once you import the effects they have no association to how they got there so if you need to import again you either delete all the effects in place or start with a blank sequence.  Yes you can import more than one mapping file but you're supposed to import onto different models.
