allowing you to quickly save and recall HUD layouts. The old VDU
views have been moved into the HUD window context menu.
Handle Pages Reset On New Show: When you start a new show
the handle pages now reset to their default values.
Wheel Consistency: The Shape speed, Shape Size and Chase Speed
wheels have been harmonised so that turning the wheel clockwise
always makes the chase or shape go faster or larger.
Button Labeling In Playback Display: If you set a long legend on
a cue in a cue list the button label would show the middle part of the
legend and not the button function. Now it always shows the button
function and as much legend as will fit.
Warning Icons: The Tiger Touch now has the ability to show
warnings in the softkeys in line with the Expert. Warning icons will be
shown if a function is currently unavailable, to warn that you may
have made a mistake or to warn of possibly unexpected side effects.
Consult the manual for detailed information on a particular warning.
Group Selection Display: Groups now show as deselected when all
the fixtures in the group are removed from the programmer, not just
when you press Clear. This makes it easier to work with groups in a
show enviroment where you rarely press Clear.

The Channel Grid can now show levels, palette names or controling

exactly what is being recorded in a cue.

directly in the channel grid. Open the grid in Output or Program
mode, drag select some cells and either type a new value on the key
pad or select a function from the softkey menu. Pressing Enter sets
the value in the programmer. The softkey menu also has a Clear
button to remove the selected attributes from the programmer.

the virtual keyboard to control whether it pops up automatically when
text input is required. The option defaults to on unless a hardware
keyboard is attached. In either case the behavious can be overidden
by toggling the button which is in the top right next to Min/Max.
