Nice features?

Post by Vellemum » Tue Dec 04, 2018 3:10 am

Hi Mike,

I've been very busy programming SCS the last days and that made me think of some feature requests.
Perhaps some things are already possible. If so please explain how I can achieve this.

• make it possible in the color scheme designer to change the colors of the left panel in the editor.
• at the moment the next manual cue/previous cue (which can be switches on/off) at the top of the main window will have the same height as selected in the cue panel height. Is it possible to make an own setting just for this next/previous cue.
• When selecting to see the next manual cue you automatically get to see the last cue. Is it possible to split these two. I sometimes find it confusing to see two sets of information on top of the screen. I would prefer to always see the next cue and nothing else.
• when in the main window and double-clicking on a cue, the editor will be opened on the same cue. Very nice! Is it possible to make this also work the other way around. So when in the editor and double-clicking on a cue (now it will fold/unfold sub-cues) brings you to this cue in the main window. Would be very handy.
• make it possible to set a cue-marker when in pause.
• make it possible to go exactly to a marker
• possibility to change the type of a marker. I.e. a cue-marker to change into a level point.
• easy way to copy the current time to one of the time-fields. I.e. to double-click on the >> symbol next to a time-field to paste the current position in this field? Or right-click in the time-field and select from a list of options?
• I programmed a show with a lot of cues that are playing in the background. It would be nice to have some sort of 'mini-version' of these cues so they don't take up much space in the cue-panel screen, but you still can see they are playing.
Perhaps an extra screen you can toggle on/off to view al playing cues?

Als have a question: what is the use of all the Unicode options when right-clicking on a time-field?


Best regards.

Sorry for the delay in replying. We'll look into these requests post SCS 11.8.0.

Didn't know about that, but on investigating this it occurs if you right-click on any enterable text field, and unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a good way to stop that 'context menu' appearing.
