Delete scenes dialog
Use the fields to determine which scenes to delete (from - to) from the sequence. Since the current
sequence always contains at least one scene, deleting all scenes, resets the current sequence to
one scene with default (all off) output.
Preferences Menu
Ok on [Enter] - This option lets the [Enter] key on the keyboard act as a hot-key for the Ok-button.
Sequence blind mode
The sequence blind mode is activated via on the sequence control. By default the access to
Sequence Blind mode is disabled, but may be enabled by checking Allow Sequence Blind Mode
option in the System preferences dialog.
Background color indicating blind mode
When sequence blind mode is enabled the field containing the sequence name in the sequence/cue
tool bar turns orange as a reminder. With the sequence is in blind mode, the output generated by the
current sequence will not be part of the final output. Cues and background cues will continue to
generate output. When the blind mode is disabled, the current sequence will again contribute to the
final output.Sequence blind mode has several purposes. It is possible to program and edit sequences
without changing the output (useful for rehearsals). It also is possible to change several parameters on
several fixtures and enable the changes only when disabling blind mode; sort of a Go command.
When entering blind mode the current contents (if any) of the current scene will be copied to a special
buffer that will be made part of the output. This allows the user to enter and exit blind mode without
the entire contents of the scene being removed whenever entering blind mode. The buffer is cleared
when exiting blind mode. If a sequence that is part of the current cue is loaded to the editor while in
blind mode, the contents buffer will automatically change to reflect the contents of the sequence being
loaded so that the current cue will remain 'intact'.
This buffering may be disabled by deselecting the Keep Contents When Entering Blind Mode
switch in the preferences menu on the sequence control.
