Highlighting non-manual cues

[sclg]

Any way to highlight non-manual cues?
Not a big issue but it would be quite nice to have a different colour or something to differentiate them from manual cues in performance mode.
Couldn't see anything in the colour scheme designer to do it??
Thanks

Just bouncing this (after a couple of months!) to see if there is an answer one way or the other?

So I assume it can't be done then!

Hi Steve,

you're right, there is no way to hilight manual cues. But you can completely hide them. I think this could be the solution you're looking for.
In the editor window direct under the description of your cue you can choose to show or hide the cue from cuelist or from cuelist and -panel.
So the operator sees only manual cues in his list.

regards,
Uwe

Thanks - I had considered that and it is an alternative.
However, sometimes I still want to see ALL the cues - to see what's going on - but just want to highlight the manual ones!

I use text to make them visually different, e.g. in the "When required" field I use a prefix like " -" ; and one could also use a different cue name, elgl "__-100" or "..55" as a visual hint that this is an automatic cue. Rather than highlight manual cues perhaps only highlight a column or two (like the cue name, or the activation column).

Note that the Activation Column also says either Manual or the auto-start description, so that also helps to visual separate cues out.

I always number any cues called by the stage manager as fully numeric eg 12 12.5 13 and any auto cues with an alpha suffix, eg 12.5A. Never entered my mind to hide them as the last thing I'd want is for SCS to be running a cue and me not being aware of what it is.
