Bug ? Editing groups
Posted: 18 Apr 2015, 22:40
Hi,
Unlike what I used to do on the classic software, on Titan I do not use precise group numbering on a regular basis - so I cannot say if this is a specific V9 bug.
But, whatever it is, right now group editing and renumbering is really messy on my desk (and on my TM as well).
Starting from auto-generated groups :
- I'm not able to renumber groups with already used user numbers, as the "Swap number with group ABCD" softkey does not seem to work at all.
- I thus wanted to start from a blank sheet and deleted all the groups (in the group window *and* in the show library hoping to wipe the unassigned groups), but I can't get rid of them : when I select all spots, click an empty handle, set group number to 1, click handle again... group is not recorded as #1, but with the first available user number, as if groups were never deleted. So I'm stuck with a show hiding groups where I cannot find them.
- [Group] 1 > [C Edit group] is the only way I found to retrieve and get rid of the auto generated groups ; I just renumbered them one by one using numbers big enough not to be inadvertently recalled.
While I'm at it : even if the re-number function worked fine, the manipulation becomes tedious if you have to renumber lots of groups. Would it be possible to have an 'edit' option in the Grid Display of the show library ?
Spreadsheets may be a bit stark, but they are quick when you can use them...
Thanks.
