Why Bulk Edit only certain options?

Post by clh » Thu Sep 01, 2011 11:26 am

Why does Bulk Edit allow editing only certain fields within cues and not any possible option? Obviously some wouldn't make sense like the Cue number or the sound file itself, but there's lots of other common fields that could be bulk edited that aren't allowed.

In my case I have a list of about 100 cues that I want to all set to auto-start. (It's a list of videos, basically a Video Playlist if we had that capability currently, but I do see a separate message that video playlists are planned for SCS 11.)

Thanks?

Bulk Editing the activation method potentially requires several fields to be changed, but it would be feasible to assume certain defaults. For example, changing to auto-start could assume a nominated time 'after the end of the previous cue'. I'll consider this for a future release.

Meanwhile if you email me your cue file (the .scs or .scsq file) and tell me which cues you want autostarted then I should be able to quickly edit the necessary extra fields into your cue file.
