Fades for override buttons

[lindsayward]

I would like to suggest a feature and see what you think. I've added it to the bug tracker as a feature request: http://www.freestylersupport.com/bugs/view.php?id=1044

I would like to suggest that adding the option of fading to override buttons over a configurable amount of time would make the buttons much more usable, and make FreeStyler a better program.

Currently, every override button jumps instantly to the static scene it's set to. This is not very usable in a lot of situations where you don't want the lights to draw unnecessary attention, but you want subtle changes.

When you use a cuelist button, it fades to that scene based on how long the fade in the first step of the scene is. This is nice.

So if you could give the override buttons options to fade in over time, then you could use them for nice subtle changes.

I suggest that you could right-click on a button and use the existing drop-down menu to set a fade there (perhaps use a submenu with fade times).

This would be very very useful I think! What do you think?

I think most people including myself have wanted this for a long time, but it's never been done which is a shame as I believe a lot of people would benefit from it.

This would be very useful to me too.......

It would be absolutely wonderful to have fades on the overrides. I would recommend using the fade time defined in the first step of the sequence, and provide a right-click option on the buttons to disable fades for that button.

Fades on overrides would be nice.

That would be perfect, because many times you don't want fast changes.
