Hi!

could it be possible to give the user the choice to display the dmx values in the cue editor in the [0,255] interval, or in percentages [0,100]? Theatre people are used to talk in percentages. I use "sigle dmx channel" fixtures that do show percentages in the control window, but sometimes the cue editor is also very usefull for editing, so it would be nice to see percentages there as well.


I second this motion!
[having actually suggested it before ;-)]

Also nice would be the importing & exporting cue sheets in the [0,100] format, since this is the format that most people make/use anyway as part of the paperwork of a lighting design (again from a theatre point of view). But I guess one could also use a spreadsheat to multiply or divide all values by 2,55 which is a solution but not very user friendly.

Another nice feature for theatre use would be an extension of the Patch Editor that would also allow you to patch the other way around: so you would be allowed to set the DMX value to a certain channel instead of the other way around, since this is also a commonly used patching style in (touring) theatre. Of course this is just about ease of use, you can make any patch you like with the Patch Editor as is, but it would be a nice feature nonetheless.

Regards,
