More Function Buttons for Cues and Submasters?

[wardomon]

I got a little verbose while naming cues. The entire name didn't show on the submasters. The important part at the end to distinguish between "To Cross Stage 1" and "To Cross Stage 2" ran off to the right. Sure I knew where they were and what they were but it slowed down programming while I thought about it. After renaming all of the cues, I got lots of the "file not found" window. Easy enough to double-click to fix it and then save the cuelist.

I submit to you that a couple of functions be moved from the "gears". How about "insert sequence", "save cue", "clear list" and "all speed to 100%" as dedicated buttons on the cue window bar? A "quick save" button would be a big help to speed up large edits. It's currently seven clicks to fix one missing cue and they're all over the screen. Just the addition of a quick save button would save three clicks.

Really cool would be a configurable bar. Drag out just the functions you need.

we should have a whole new forum called 'Wish List'

Nice thoughts

My wishes have been answered in the new public beta version 3.3.5. The addition of the quick save button on the cue window? Best feature ever. It's now possible to edit all the cues on a tab in only a few minutes.

I don't usually have a final song list from the band more than a couple weeks out from any gig. I should be able to build a show, clean up the cuelists and fix any missing file entries in much less time.
