Shortcuts Question

Post by paco »

Hi,

I'm using Freestyler since last week and I have some doubts...

I've created 4 groups with my fixtures and assigned every group to a shortcut (group 1 = 1, Group 2 = 2, Group 3 = 3 , Group 4 = 4), I saved shortcut configuration and the Freestyler document. When I closed freestyler and i've opened it again the shortcut configuration didn't saved...

how can I save the shortcuts forever?

Thnx!

Setup > Freestyler Setup > External Control > Keyboard Shortcuts

Then add in the shortcuts you want and the 'SAVE' (Bottom left, see screen shot)

Then, unless you change it it will always be there. Example - I always have the 'B' set as blackout and the 'F' set as freeze.

I can recall that I had some issues about the short cut keys for groups.
Did you delete any of your groups before having this issue?
In what order did you do it? adding groups, then short cut keys or vice versa?

if you having the problem again, you should sent a bug report to the developer:

heyo!

I tried now another time and the shortcuts have desapeared... some times freestyler save my shortcuts, sometimes delete it...

First of all I create the groups (4) and then I asign the shortcut to the groups...I saved but when I close and reopen the software, shortcuts aren't there...

I'm going to send a bug report...

does anyone else has this problem??? otherwise could there be something wrong with paco's install? some conflicts which causes that no settings are saved when FS closes?

@paco. try to reinstall FS and see if you still have the problem

Ive never used the 'groups' shortcut keys but I have used others with no problems ever.
I will try the groups out and let you all know what my experiences are.

I do agree with LJ that a total reinstall could sort the problem.

Why are clicking on your file? Are talking about a named sequence file?? I think you already figured it out. Only open FS from it's icon, not your file and your shortcuts will be there.

Starting one of what files???
What do you do exactly? What file is it? What is its name? How do you start it? (double click?)

Hi,

When I say a FS File, I mean that I clicked in a Location that I've saved...then doesn't work, but if I open FS by clicking on FS icon, it works ok!
