Unable to copy partial global shape palettes across pages
Posted: 02 Mar 2016, 00:10
I have a set of shape palettes where I have separately recorded a global shape with all attributes except pattern off, and then a set of individual global bpm, size, phase palettes.
These all work fine. However I was trying to create some additional shape palette pages (e.g. to have a page of movement shapes, then a page of colour shapes each with a set of speeds/sizes etc). To make this quicker I wanted to copy some of the bpm/size settings between pages. However I found that if I tried to copy the individual pattern/bpm/size/phase palettes to the new page they no longer work. If I moved them they were fine.
To reproduce in titan mobile v9.1:
- Create new show with some fixtures in it.
- Select fixtures, create global Saw shape palette with all attributes except pattern off.
- Create two global speed palettes (all attributes off except speed).
- Create two global size palettes (all attribs off except size values).
- Set window to show pages.
- MOVE the two speed palettes to the new page.
- COPY the two size palettes to the new page.
If you select the fixtures, apply shape, then the speed palettes will work, but the size palettes wont.
The size palettes no longer change to cyan to show they're active when you use them.
If you open the speed palettes the first column (before number) will show GLOBAL.
If you open the size palettes that have been copied, the first column is blank - in fact there isn't a first column - it's missing and the first column is Number.
If you try with the shape palette the same thing happens - you can move it and it will work, but if you copy it it no longer does.
So I think there's a bug when the partial shape palettes are copied between pages.
