Renumbering cue stacks on FLX S (24)

[Kay]

Hi Team,

selecting "Renumber" on a cue stack will show "Start Number" and highlighted "1", blinking cursor behind, but on FLX S there seem to be no way to change/enter the numbers, because Z-key will not upcome with a keyboard/numbers block. So I only can press OK or Cancel.

Next question/suggestion is to be able to define default settings for start/increment, because in theater I want to start with 10 and use increment 10. Espacially because renumber, as far as I have read, will not update jumps to (renumbered) cues.

Thanks,

Kay

That is correct, on FLX S, the renumber function is for 1:1 renumbering, unless you have a USB keyboard connected.

That is correct, renumbering cues will not renumber Next jumps. 

If you have any questions let us know.

It's working, but looks like some kind of overkill to attach a keyboard for just changing 2 values, because virtual keyboard will not come up by pressing Z-key. Testing FLX S for days and days, all values I found were able to be changed by a) a Numpad automatically coming up, b) using rotate encoders, c) pressing Z-key for Numpad, or d) by selecting a default/predefined value. "Renumber" are the only 2 values where I have to attach a keyboard.

Maybe it would be a good idea solving this in next version/update of ZerOS? As a programmer I would guess that only one line of code needs to be added ;-)

Thanks,

Kay

P.S.: In summary I am very impressed by the possibilities of FLX S. In many details you feel that there is a big and professional brother (FLX) behind. Congratulations! Well done.

When renumbering a cue stack, most people use this for 1:1 numbering, and so isn't an issue. However adding a number pad in this window is logged on our system as an enhancement (reference number ZOS-8681). Unfortunately this currently isn't scheduled to be included in the next software version.

If you have any questions let us know.
