The "jump to" window is even smaller !

[cobalt2]

Hi

I know, I have been asking for this like a maniac on V4 for years now

But please, on V5, a resizable "jump to" window that remembers the size I set it in, for next time I open it.

Please, as a christmas gift... that or a poney, your choice

Hello Stephane,
Given the lack of ponies in our office, the feature has been added and will be part of the next release.
Yours sincerely

Dear Raphael (dear Stephane),

First and foremost: DL5 is great!

Since I am dealing with >500 scenes in the meantime (I know, sounds a lot: I'm a drummer in a coverband, switching scenes via midi-pedal during our show), it is really a challenge during preparation, walking through the scenes one by one with...

- clicking on scene (up to 15 scenes per song)
- clicking on "jump to.."
- maximising "jump"-window
- adjusting the features
- tab, tab, return (reducing the mouse clicks replacing the "ok"-click)
- clicking on next scene aaaaand..
- clicking on "jump to.." [...]

It's really geting uncomfortable when a new fixture comes along: Then every scene needs a special treatment like described above .

Therefore, please allow me signing to Stephanes wish, that the jump-window simply remembers it's last size and position, that would be fantastic!!
...and, while we talk efficiency, why not spending some hardcoded shortcuts to commands like "jump to.."* since I cannot map a keyboard shortcut to this element.

Many thanks for considering this in the upcoming verisons!
Ole

* "(j)ump to.." as an example, in case character "j" is not occupied

Hello Stephane,
The fact that the jump to window position/size is not saved has already been fixed and is going to be released in a short period of time. It has to be validated first. About the shortcut to open it, I write the idea down, it needs to be discussed, it might be present for a future release!

Fellow Daslight-Fans with too small jump-windows ,

With regards to the described challenge (and still using DL 5.0.4.2) I found a work-around at least for MS Windows machines.

If you want to install AutoHotkey 2.0 from here (https://www.autohotkey.com/)* you may also want to try out following script which nicely maximizes the jump-window (or being more precise, maximizing every window in the front) only in the vertical direction after using STRG+SHIFT+y (or any other key after replacing the "y"):

## snip ##

; Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
; Hotkey: STRG + SHIFT + y

^+y::
{
MonitorGet A_Index, &L, &T, &R, &B
MonitorGetWorkArea A_Index, &WL, &WT, &WR, &WB
hwnd := WinExist("A")
WinGetPos &Xpos, &Ypos, &W, &H, hwnd
WinMove Xpos, WT, W, WB - WT
}

## snap ##

Just build a txt-file, copy the script into it, rename it to *.ahk, double-click it (or put it in the autostart-sequence) and you can vertically maximize every window in the front.

Maybe that is helpful for the one or the other - if not, just ignore my post.
Ole

* After uploading the current version to www.virustotal.com for checking I also received three generic warnings, but since no actual thread was detected, I thought it was worth taking the risk...



Hallo DL-Fans,

falls es noch weitere User von 5.0.4.2 und drumherum geben sollte, die mit dem kleinen "Jump-to"-Fenster nicht zurechtkommen und nicht jedes Mal das Ding mühevoll per Maus maximieren wollen, AutoHotkey 2 bietet da auf Windows-Maschinen Abhilfe (https://www.autohotkey.com/):
- AHK 2.0 installieren (ich habe beim Test auf www.virustotal.com auch drei generische Warnungen gesehen, bin das Risiko der Installation aber eingegangen),
- ein txt-File erstellen,
- das Script oben hineinkopieren,
- das File in *.ahk umbenennen,
- doppelklicken (oder in den Windows Autostart-Bereich bewegen),
dann könnt ihr per STRG-SHIFT+y - oder nach Änderung mit fast jeder anderen Taste anstatt y - das jeweils vorne liegende Fenster nach oben und unten automatisch auf Monitorgröße maximieren, wobei die Breite unangetastet bleibt - funktioniert demzufolge auch mit dem Jump-to-Fenster von Daslight.

Quick update to the AutoHotkey-Script...
Since I wonder why the "jump to" link does not have a shortcut, I added the missing function to the vertical window-extension-script (you just need to edit the MouseMove-positions to your individual "jump to"-monitor-settings either via tools like IrfanVIEW, Python or simply trying it out )
...and it just works if the "advanced properties" section on the right is visible, just to mention...

Kurzes Update zu dem Script, welches das Jump-To-Fenster vertikal maximiert: Da ich eigentlich seit Beginn ein ShortCut zu dem "Jump to.."-Button vermisst habe, hier ein aktualisiertes Script, dass nun Button-Click und Window-Increase vereint (du musst nur die Maus-Positionen deinem individuellen "Jump to"-Setting anpassen, entweder per IrfanVIEW, Python-Hilfe oder schlichtem Ausprobieren ):
...und es funktioniert natürlich nur, wenn auf der rechten Seite die "advanced properties" Section auch ausgewählt/sichtbar ist, nur um es zu erwähnen (wo soll die virtuelle Maus auch sonst hinklicken )...


## snip ##

; Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
; Hotkey: STRG + Shift + y

^+y::
{
CoordMode "Mouse", "Screen"
MouseMove 3338, 235 ; edit your individual monitor-settings here
SetMouseDelay 200, "Play"
Click "left"
MouseMove 2300, 600 ; edit your individual monitor-settings here
Sleep 200
MonitorGet A_Index, &L, &T, &R, &B
MonitorGetWorkArea A_Index, &WL, &WT, &WR, &WB
hwnd := WinExist("A")
WinGetPos &Xpos, &Ypos, &W, &H, hwnd
WinMove Xpos, WT, W, WB - WT
}

Just ignore this post if neither helpful nor new stuff,
einfach Post ignorieren, falls bekannt oder wenig hilfreich,
