Hello Mike,

This is a special request i ask you,
i know this modification is only a few lines of code for you, and this would be very very useful for the theater play i'm working on these days.. and useful for every user:

my request is:
In the window"SFR cues (and sub cues) / Cues to be mentionned":
Can you add 2 more options :
1/ "Last but one playing cue"
2/ "All playing cues except last one playing"

This would be very useful, especially when you want to mute all playing sounds except the last which is playing.
(A trick for users would be programming a hotkey including this function, so they could use it at anytime in the show, with onlt one key)

If you want to improve this, you may also, in the 2/ option say:
2 (option B) / "All playing cues except last (xx) playing"

It means that you could do: "I want to mute all sounds playing, except the 2 or 3 (or else) last playing sounds.

I swear it will be very useful; Do you think its interesting, and could you do it

Regards

Michel w

Michel,

I'm wondering if "Last but one playing cue" should be "Last but one cue" in case the cue you are targeting is no longer playing but has already completed.

I've just finished working on a similar change and that is for an SFR cue to be able to act on the "Previous cue". What this does is look for the previous enabled cue that contains an audio file subcue, video/image subcue, or playlist. This new "Previous cue" option doesn't care if the "previous cue" is playing or completed.

So would you want your suggestion of "Last but one..." to be implemented in a similar way to the "Previous cue" option (except that it would go back one more audio/video/playlist cue)? Or is it always to act on the last but one playing cue?
