My sense is, for many users, renaming a scene happens a lot more often than renaming an actor. Thus Cmd+R is Rename Scene (more frequent, less modifiers), and Command-Shift-R (less frequent, more modifiers) is Rename Actor.

But I would very much like to add the ability to define your own shortcuts for a future version. I'm sure everyone would like that. But, with all the other features added to 2.0, it was not something I could do for the initial 2.0 release. Hopefully a little ways down the road we can do it. Best Wishes, Mark

Fred, that would be a nice solution!

Thanks!

'Hydra' I like it.

Actually I get a few DM/PM's and emails asking me if the MultiVid and/or the MultiMix actor does just this! An video matrix actor would be cool.

Even better and yet unique would be a feather like Softeging per Slice side!

I dont have a 4 k screen but I tested playback with 4k prores on a mac with 2.004 and it was fine.

Oh yes, it works indeed !

Thanks a lot Mark.

Best,
Philippe

Stage setting would be a great one for my usage, I allready. asked some years ago!,!! Mercy rainbow

Thank you @Armando for your software advice.

I had a look to Mobius, from circularlabs, very interesting but not so easy to use ; its documentation is large, and it seems to be the best choice for Windows users. I found another one for Mac only, SooperLooper : [http://essej.net/sooperlooper/](http://essej.net/sooperlooper/) Both can be controlled by midi triggers from Isadora, so can be linked to Buffer actor. All the best ! Clement

It's acknowledged on the VIDVOD blog as coming soon - Mark and the rest of the beta team are testing it ready for a release. I can't say much more but keep your eyes and ears pealed.

How urgent are you waiting for arnet. I have been using a bit from openframeworks, pretty easy and very reliable. I also use QLC+ which is cross platform (even now on rasberryPi). It is not inside izzy but with OSC control ti is pretty nice to use. On the Pi you access the system via a webpage and you can create complex lighting cues (I think it is easier than programming lights in Izzy as it has scene and fixture support that propagates changes through your show. I was trying to do everything in Izzy as well but for moving lights and colours it is a bit of a pain when you have a lot of fixtures. With QLC+ (which is free an dopen source) I can create complex scenes and chasers and then control them from izzy. As it is a lot more than just next cue control as I edit and re-arrange my show the changes are followed by the lighting controller. At 50 bucks for a PI and free software it is a pretty neat way of running things.

Dear Fubbi + DusX,

It's not a big job... it's just that I'm working so furiously on the new release, anything extraneous is kind of out of bounds. But stick with me, and if I find a slot of time I'll do it. You'll just have to bump occasionally to get it.

Best,
Mark

Dear Fypy,

Sorry for the delay in responding. The fact that the "Convert User Actor to New Format" comes up in the pop-up menu is a mistake. This should only appear when you right-click (control-click) a version 1 User Actor -- which is from a long, long time ago. I have recreated the bug and it is already fixed for the next release. But for now, don't choose it on anything except a User Actor. (And probably not even then, because it is only for this very old version of the User Actor.)  If you are having a crash with the Float to Integer, it is simply because something is different in your patch. If the error happens consistently, you can send me your patch to mark [atta] troikatronix [dotta] com and I will investigate. Best Wishes, Mark Best Wishes, Mark

That would be nice!

And while we are at it: OpenCV projector calibration

I would like it if there were an XML file that Isadora would look for next to the file, were we could set/override Isadora settings.
If not there use the current Isadora settings as it currently works. If file is found, use them.
Doesn't require a format change, and allows a ton of flexibility.

Here's something I've often wished for:  The ability to save to two (or more) places at once and then, by default, always open the primary file...

One saves a file to it's primary location;
I always then save another copy to a back up location;
I only want to run with the primary file, however and I can't tell from the "recent" list which one it is!

It would be lovely if one could save both at the same time, but only have the primary file show up in the list.  Maybe an "auto backup" feature? My drawing software does that and it's very useful because you can assign the back up directory.

Just a thought.

Cheers,
Hugh

Triggering the actor would cause the associated control to send a message to all its listeners with the control's current value. This would solve a problem I'm having (see "One show, two versions?" in How To), and would offer a straightforward way of providing global variables in Isadora.

It would be immensely helpful to be able to drag a folder into the media window and get a bin from it. Named and filled... Also to be able to delete the bins for 3d, pic, sounds etc. They are a bit cluttery if you don't use them. Thanks Fubbi
