5) User Preferences

Preference Import / Export

The Preferences window has two buttons at the bottom; Import and Export. Export allows you to save your preferences to a file. Import allows you to load a previously exported set of preferences into the current show.

Default / Auto-naming

The Preferences window has a 'Default Naming' pane where default names can be specified for use when creating or copying palettes, groups and cues. There is a drop-down list of preset choices, or custom text can be entered.

Special tags can be used in names; tags are preceeded by an ampersand. Lowercase tags are resolved only once - when the name is applied (i.e. when the item is created or copied). Uppercase tags are resolved when the name is displayed,so if a cue is called 'Cue &N' and you renumber it from 1.2 to 1.3, its displayed name will automatically change from 'Cue 1.2' to 'Cue 1.3'.

The available tags are:

&d - Directory name
&D - directory name (dynamic)
&n - Directory number
&N - Directory number (dynamic)
&o - Original text (only makes sense in the copy default naming, it is only resolved in the directory item copy tasks)

AutoLoad

The AutoLoad pane of the Control Panel provides a way of specifying a show to load when the console is powered up, along with a time delay to wait before launching this show. If the delay is greater than zero then upon startup a window will display a countdown and the name of the show about to be loaded. The 'Load Now' button ignores the remaining delay, while 'Cancel' stops the AutoLoad and displays the Connect window to allow a different show to be created or loaded.

On the Rackmount Control Unit, when loading a show, AutoLoad is automatically configured to load that show with a delay of 5 seconds the next time the RCU is started up.

Autoexec trigger macro

A trigger macro to run at startup can be specified in Setup > 'Preferences' > 'Playback Defaults' > 'Misc'.
