Ok. I have just tested the PB Add/unlinked chases thing again: 'bug' report on the function of PB Add over unlinked chases in RMN/RMT. My findings: Add button will step correctly even if not connected. Add button will step correctly even when on a different page. Multiple unlinked chases can be run ...

Slight revision of the Group legend menu:

Adjustment of the way this menu works to bring it in line with the Palette menu. ie. remain on group after apply.

Ideally it would also be possible to store/delete/legend directly through this menu as proposed for the palette menu.

Chase STOP button to step: Reinstatement of this function. Even though it was removed probably two years ago now, it is one I still wish was available and just can't get used to moving down to the forward/back buttons. Maybe it was never intended to work like this, but it is useful as your finger is...

Tnx. I like to think I did the hard bit. Now it just has to be coded 8) This sounds familiar. I remember something similar being reported before. Was it yourself? IIRC it was regarding change of page which also stops this function. Need to test again, but I agree. Incidentally, one other long standi...

Ok. I have successfully compliled a wish-list. In the process some posts have been edited/combined or deleted. Most of deletion was offtopic/discussion and a few that were just too far-fetched (though I have detailed a couple at the end of the list). More details in the main post. Hope that's useful!

Just been wading through old mails pending a rationalisation of the wish-list and it turns out this had already been discussed, although more with regard to Store Palette, which (wrongly IMO) insists on only storing by selected attribute.
I will add to wish-list during compilation ;)

I understand what you are saying, but you can't just change something like this. People will just as likely use this deliberately and most importantly expect it to do so. That is why I suggest a user option.

I can't say about the Sapphire, but this would surely have to be a user option since many users would expect to be able to recall by focus mask regardless of method (ie. add button/numeric/legend)?

Palettes are recalled according to focus mask. This is deliberate and allows the overlaying of attributes with the ability to only recall one. Selecting dimmer will recall all.

I'm confused by 'it cleared the error in the bottom of the screen'. This should be a bus error.

Other than the user settings, a common reason for 1 sec delay is after a programming session. This seems especially noticeable after using palettes to edit/build chases through 'unfold'. The cure is always a simple reset. I was unaware of a [clear]+[exit] reset, but if there was an error in the bott...

I am fairly sure the 'save as shared?' option won't be available yet on the Sapphire.
Quick palettes will recall all information stored (depending on focus mask) unless you select fixtures, in which case it reverts to the normal method.

The following might not be 100% useful as I can only base on Pearl 2004 soft, but in an attempt to help... There is a limit of 200 palettes. This I'm fairly sure will be the same. In personalities, the palette information is stored under PFTABLE and should be easy to edit. Personally I wouldn't both...

Good post! Damn. Your code is exactly what I tried originally. Now I try again it works, albeit a simplified 32-step: 7f 77 6f 67 5f 57 4f 47 3f 37 2f 27 1f 17 0f 07 0 fff7 ffef ffe7 ffdf ffd7 ffcf ffc7 fbf ffb7 ffaf ffa7 ff9f ff97 ff8f ff87 When I try this in the simulator some strange things still...

Ok. I was wrong about the 'bounce' thing, but there is something very odd about the handling of pattern values. I have succeeded in making this work over the full tilt range and it looks just as you want. I edited Pulse1:3 to give a slight fade in/out. Tilt will fade in from top, travel down and fad...
