Audio file countdown (Bug or Feature?) (mod in 10.6.0)

[Boswell]

If you have a cue consisting of 3 subcues, two are midi send cues and the third is an audio file.
The audio file countdown which give you a countdown of the last 5 secs of the file playing only displays if the audio file is the 1st subcue, make it the 2nd or 3rd subcue and the countdown does not work. The same also applies to the colour highlight applied to audio files in the main display.
Functionality is not affected.

The countdown issue is a bug - it will be displayed if you turn on the Display Options "Show Sub-Cues in Cue Panels", but it is not displayed if this option is turned off.

Not sure what you mean by the colour highlight in the main display. In the main cue list the colour and most other info is determined by the first sub-cue in a cue, so in your example the colour should be the 'Control Send' colour.

Thanks Mike for the explanation,
I don't normally have subcues displayed as the majority of my subcues are midi commands and they just make the screen cluttered. I'll just make sure that any audio file subcues are 1st in the list.

Hi Mike
Just a thought, any way of codeing it to give the option of the countdown on specific cues, maybe with a checkbox on the cue/subcue page? it is a feature that is not often needed on the majority of cues but is useful when we have to cue the lighting people (for instance)
Cheers

I should be able to squeeze an extra checkbox into the Cue Properties. I'll have a look into this.

Checkbox added in 10.6.0.
