Beta 10 - My bugs list

Post by PolDavril »

Hi,

(71)
ODDITY. When alt-clicking on the Text Size slider (Control Editor window), the dialog for creating a new fader pops up. Not really a bug but rather strange.

IMPROVEMENT. In SHOW. It would be convenient if the default custom name was not always "Button" but the actual name. In this case, "Scene" could be simply renamed to "Scene 1" without having to clear the text "Button".

IMPROVEMENT. It would be handy to have the keyboard shortcut displayed in EDIT mode also. When the shortcuts are defined in EDIT, they cannot be seen at a glance and it's often necessary to switch between EDIT and LIVE modes to check what has been done or not, and what key. Moreover, due to the additional group buttons in LIVE, a scene button appears at different positions in both modes and it's sometimes harder to see it. A lot of good reasons... :wink:
Screen simulation.

BUG/INCONVENIENCE. The keyboard shortcut, when modified with CTRL or SHIFT, is not fully displayed when the jump symbol is present.

IMPROVEMENT. In PALETTE. For logical reasons, all "Fan" buttons should be inactive when the number of selected beams is less than 2. :wink:

IMPROVEMENT. In SHOW. When a custom name and a File/Icon/Preset are displayed together, it would be nice to have an option to align the picture. This feature allows a longer text on the button and this text is still fully visible.
Simulation.

BUG. See the attached show file (remove dummy ".zip"). In EDIT, the color of the scene is blue. In SHOW, it's yellow. :shock:
Now, if the color is changed in EDIT, it's updated in SHOW.
This is how to reproduce the bug again.
- In SHOW, open the properties of the scene and change the association to any preset (for example, Dimmer) and exit the properties window. Now, the button has no more colored triangle.
- Go to EDIT, change the color of the button (other than yellow !)
- Go back to SHOW, change the association again and select Scene Play Stop. The color is now yellow (and not the color defined in EDIT).
Note that it's the same issue when a new button is added in SHOW.
It seems that the association process does not use the current color but forces it to yellow.

QUESTION/INCONVENIENCE. When Daslight4 is fullscreen, the Windows taskbar does not show up when moving the mouse at the bottom of the screen (the task bar is set to auto hide).
This issue does not happen with other applications, not even DVC3 or any other software.
Is there a reason ? Does Daslight4 use a parameter as "Keep on top" or something similar ?

BUG ? When trying to "Download more fixtures", I've got the following error message.
After the error message is closed, the "Analyzing libraries information" remains active forever.

SUGGESTION. I think it's already been suggested before on this forum, a timeline feature would be useful within Daslight4, at least with one audio track (but surely better with a video track support also) and several lighting tracks to trigger the scenes.
In my opinion, a very simple processing would do the trick, for example dots on the timeline would be enough (and certainly better than nothing). :wink:
In the meantime, for people who need to synchronize audio with Daslight4 on a single computer, it's possible to use a multitrack software (as Sonar, Cubase, Sony Acid, Protools and many more) with a virtual MIDI cable like the free LoopBe1 (http://www.nerds.de/en/loopbe1.html).
The peak graphics on the audio track allow to add the note events on the MIDI track according to the beats in a visual way.

BUG. On 2D view "led-par64" tab, the "Move All" button is used to drag & move all fixtures at once. When another fixture tab is selected (by clicking "led raindow"), the lock icon is replaced by the cross icon although the "Move All" mode is still active (with the hand cursor shape - not visible on the screen copy).
In my opinion, the "Move All" icon should be updated whenever a tab is selected (General or any fixture family), according to the current status of "Move All" (on/off).

BUG. When the SHOW frame is set to the LOCK state, all other frames (PATCH/EDIT/LIVE) are disabled.
However, when the SHOW frame is set to fullscreen and then set to classic again, the LIVE frame is enabled again, but it should still be disabled.

SUGGESTION. It would be practical to have the fullscreen option for LIVE too, just as for SHOW.

QUESTION. BUG ? I'm just wondering why the contextual menu for the scenes in LIVE contains "Map to MIDI in" option but nothing for keyboard, DMX and Port.

BUG. "File" -> "Online manual" redirects to www.arcolis.com :shock:

SUGGESTION. The "Language" options should be moved to "Preferences" window, because it's used only once after install in most cases.
