Edit buttons linked to a Macro in "Flash" mode [fixed]

Post by muscanto »

Could you add a button similar to the freeze button that temporarily disables the flash on all buttons?

It would be very helpful for programming macros that are controlled by MIDI and must be set to flash to operate properly. Right now, I have to disable them one by one if I want to make adjustments.

This screenshot should help. I need it for editing large quantities of macros that are setup as flash buttons. It's very time consuming turning off flash on all of them and then turning it back on.

I have a tab with 80x macro buttons set to "flash" I want to temporarily disable the "flash" function of all of them with a master button so that I can make changes and updates to lots of macros without clicking through them one by one and disabling "flash" and then re-enabling it when I am done.

A master "flash disable" button would solve this. I hope this makes sense?

I have had some time to play around with the new feature. This is a good idea to make it a visual screen for what the macro is doing but I have some ideas to improve it.

1. Please bring back the "Update Macro" option in right click menu but include a pop-up confirmation with the message "Are you sure you want to update this macro with all currently active buttons? This will replace anything currently in the macro." "Yes" or "Cancel"

This option in the right click menu was a very quick and easy way to build or update a macro while visually seeing what is happening when DMX output is turned on. The new way does not let you see it while you are building your macro. I really need this back but have always dislike that there was no confirmation before it cleared out what was already there. I have mistakenly selected it many times when trying to hit something else in the right click menu and regretted making the accident.

2. On the edit screen for "Edit Macro". It would be amazing if you could add controls for actually editing the macro? Once I have all the buttons I need listed, I might want to edit the priority in which they are activated (LTP). My idea is to use arrows for moving buttons up and down in the order list and then having a delete button for removing only one button in the list instead of just clearing the entire list.

Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you!
