[Fix 11.4.0.3] Auto-Start on launch?

Is there a cunning way that a cue could Auto Start as soon as (or shortly after) the program launches?

I'm thinking a couple of scenarios, one, for example is to pop up a Memo Cue to alert an operator of procedures, another would be to run an Image Cue to set a 'holding slide' on the screen.

Any thoughts? or is this one for the "Future Developments" forum?

You can do that by setting the cue's Activation Method to 'Auto-Start <n> seconds after cue file loaded'. See Auto-Starting a Cue File for more info.

Thanks Mike, I found out how to do it after playing around for a bit :oops: I came back to the forum to remove my post, but might as well leave it on in case others are looking for help with how to do this. :wink:

Okay, just to return to this subject, I could get it to do what I wanted by setting a Note Cue Auto Start | after cue file is loaded but I kept getting a "Validation Error" dialogue box saying "Auto Activate Cue must be blank" when I tried to set this activation method for other types of cues. I'm not sure what this means?
Is this expected behaviour? Bug??

Hmm. Seems like a bug. I'll look into it.
