+10/-10 on toolbar

I'd love to see this again as it was on hog 2. For theater and TV it is great to be able to change levels in 10% increments without having to reference the output window.
And while I'm at it, it would also be useful to have the ability to customize the lower toolbar. I almost never use Rem Dim, Flip or Programmer and would rather have Allow Refs and Park on the first 'page'.

    Which console are you using Andris..? You can use the buttons above and below the I-wheel on the WHIII and customize them to +10/-10 you know..

    I'm referring to IPC and RH.

    I think that a while ago a request got opened to map these to the trackball buttons.

    The toolbar would be better, I have all my trackball buttons already mapped with other functions.

    Actually you can adjust the intensity a relative amount via the keypad on any of the current consoles. In the command line you enter the fixture number @ then + or - and a percent. For example:
    101@+10Enter will raise the intensity by 10% for fixture 101

    This gives you more flexibility than the simple +10 -10 on the toolbar as you can enter any amount you desire.

    There is more you can do from the command line with the @ too... see section 15.3.1 for more examples.

    One button press is a hell of a lot faster than the command line, and 10% is pretty much standard for adjusting levels for TV and theater, so why not put a useful feature back in the console?

    I understand Andris, and we do have a request logged for customizable toolbars that would allow what you desire. Surprisingly not many people ask for the +10/-10 back on the toolbar. However I do agree that it can be useful very often.

    I have added your comments to the customizable toolbar request.

    Again...things would be much easier if we had keystroke/command line macros...
    and a possibility to use that macro as a toolbar button or we could have a macro toolbar (which could open when keeping macro button pressed).

    Is There the 3x18 macro keys on the left on the G15?

    Macros are still planned and will hopefully be implemented in the near future...

    As for specific OEM hardware support, that will depend upon drivers and such. Some of them store keyboard shortcuts directly within the logic on the keyboard and may be compatible at this time and others may require specific software to be installed. I have not studied the keyboards mentioned in this thread, so I am unsure of their capabilities.

    Steph,

    Yes, the older version (which I have) has 3X18.

    Btw, there's also a new model G19
    If I have understood right G13 can store key setups inside, but I think all those need drivers to run.

    Ok, I just known the new one.
    Yes it needs driver and a little soft to record macro, but as I read on web G11 and G15 can be used with Linux and windows so it could probably be used with all Hog 3.

    Hmmm...that could work on a Hog3PC networked into the show. That way, you're not tied to the console (hence no drivers needed), but get the benefits of the G-buttons....
