Palette / List function

Postby lanternz » Mon Oct 31, 2022 3:53 am

Hi Claude, the list function seems to be broken as a method of re-ordering instruments for the key block. I hadn't updated for a while and thought that might be the problem but I am now running 6.3.1 in OS12.6 and the problem persists. I can't simply drag the instruments into the desired order as I used to be able to do.

Also, while I'm here can I say that I don't like having to manually save every time I switch tabs - is there a workaround for this.

Thanks

The drag/reorder of the entries in the key using the Inspector's symbols tab list is working for me. Specifically what is not working for you? Exactly what are you doing and what do you expect to happen? And what actually happens.

Autosave is interrupted when you switch tabs. This should not present a problem unless you switch tabs every time autosave tries to save your plot. If autosave is interrupted, it will simply run again the next time it is scheduled.

You can try the latest build 6.0.1 (18931.2) to see if it works better for you in regards to autosave.

At first what was happening was that when I tried to drag an instrument to a higher position on the list the instrument would simply disappear from the list when I released the drag. The instrument did not disappear from the drawing and cmd z returned it to where it was. I also noticed that some instruments were mislabeled in the list - for example at one point there were two lines listed a "Wide / Source 4 par" but when I selected one of them in the list it came up in the palette listing as a Selecon profile.
Now something has deteriorated and the app simply crashes when I try to drag the instrument order in the list.

I suspect the issue may be plot specific as when I try this function on other drawings the function works as expected but the plot in question is an adapted copy of a show from earlier this year, which also crashes the app.

if you can email the plot, it will probably be quicker to track down. The crash trace does not appear specific enough to determine exactly where the plot is damaged.

I believe that the drag and drop in the Inspector's key list is fixed in the latest build, version 6.3.2 (19001.1)
