[Fix 11.1.6] SCS 11.1.5 -- Run Program Cue

[medrolet]

Hi. I'm not sure if this is a bug or simply not implemented.

I'm trying to use Adobe Acrobat Reader to open the script to a specific page. According to the Adobe documentation, the command should look like this:

Acrobat.exe /A "page=5" "C:\example.pdf"

If I try this from a command line prompt, it works correctly.

However, if I try in SCS to make a "Run Program" Cue which includes a forward slash ("/"), SCS turns it into a back slash ("\") and Acrobat Reader gives a message "file does not exist".

Yes, I found the same myself a few days ago! I've a fix available and will email you a link to a fixed version.

Hello, Mike.

Thanks for the quick response. I downloaded and installed the new version and it works properly now.

Thank you also for a wonderful intuitive piece of software. I have been using SCS for nearly five years now; on my own designs and also at John Abbott College here in Montreal, where I teach Sound Design for Theatre. We have used SCS on nearly 20 school productions. It has given my students a chance to be really creative with their designs.

In 2011, our production of Edward Bond's "Tin Can People" at the Edinburgh Fringe ran on SCS and this summer we're heading back to Edinburgh with Dylan Thomas' "Under Milk Wood". Travelling with just a laptop and an M-Audio Fast Track Pro, SCS allows us to carry a fairly complex sound design with us, and requires minimal set-up time.

Many thanks.
