Save sequence dialog
Seq # - a number that is used to uniquely identify the sequence. The number is applied to the
sequence when saving the sequence for the first time, so for a new sequence this field will be blank
until the sequence is saved. It is not possible for users to modify the sequence number.
Sequence name - this is the sequence name that is used through out LightJockey. The name can be
changed at any point, providing that the sequence is re-saved after the name has been changed.
Since the sequence number uniquely identifies the sequence, the name has no other function than
identifying the sequence to the user.
Sequence Type - it is possible to assign a pre-defined sequence type to the sequence. Currently the
sequence type is reserved for future use and has no effect, other than being able to act as a sort key
in the list of available sequences.
Click to save the current sequence to a new sequence file (and assign a
new sequence number). Both new sequences and sequences that has previously been saved may be
saved as new a sequence. If an already existing sequence is saved as a new sequence, the old,
original sequence is left intact (much like saving a document with a new filename in a word
processor).
Click to re-save a sequence that has previously been saved. Saving the
sequence will overwrite the contents of the original sequence.
Save options
Clear after Save - enabling this option to automatically clear the contents of the current sequence
after it has been saved. This is the same as selecting new sequence after the sequence is saved.
Add Sequence to Current Cue - this option will add the sequence to the current cue after the
sequence has been saved. The sequence is only added once so if it already is part of the current cue,
it will not be added a second time. Check Show Add to Cue Slot in the preference menu to force the
sequence to be added to a specific slot in the cue control. When enabled the sequence will be added
to the cue in the selected slot number, unless it is already part of the current cue. Select the slot from
the drop down list to the right. The list contains a default option for the default sequence slot, and
entries for the 12 individual slots in the cue control. Note that the cue slot names are user definable. If
the option is disabled the sequence will always be added in the default slot.
Adding the sequence to the cue in a specific slot
Create New Cue - this will automatically create a new cue when the sequence is saved and add the
sequence to the cue. The cue will be given the name of the sequence. Use this option (and auto save
current cue) as a time saver when writing sequences that are the basis of a cue, or when writing cues
that only consists of one sequence.
Autosave Current Cue - this will automatically save the current cue after the sequence is saved.
Preferences Menu
Auto Close - When enabled the dialog closes automatically when the sequence is saved.
Save on [Enter] - When checked the [Enter] key on the keyboard acts as hotkey for the Save and
Save New buttons.
Quicksave use Save Options - when checked, quick-saving the sequence uses the various save
