Well I guess that would work if you wanted to do it the easy way!  Wink

All I know is that I'm a mouse guy.  I tend to forget keyboard shortcuts even exist. 

So long as I can program the scheduler with my songs and have it work as it should, I'll be happy.  At this point I don't care if I have to alt + tab everything or stand on my head to sequence.  Just get me a stable version that sends the commands I programmed at the times I programmed them during my show time and we're good.  Ying%20Yang

Actually you can circumvent all that mouse moving by just using the ALT key to access the top menu and TAB to go between fields.... I too hope this issue will be addressed.

I'm hoping that will be addressed in the next version released. 

However, as a workaround, you can try this.  It's a bit annoying, but it works for me.  Open up Borealis (Scheduler), but make sure your mouse pointer isn't anywhere near the program.  After it opens, carefully move the mouse around the window making sure it doesn't touch it until you are just above the menu bar.  At that point you can access the menu bar so long as the pointer doesn't mouseover the calendar itself.  You can then select File, New Schedule Item, and then setup your show.  When you hit add, immediately and quickly shove the mouse pointer upwards so by the time the add schedule window closes back to the calendar, your pointer is off the window completely.  Then move the pointer back around the window to the bottom of the screen, again, you guessed it, keeping clear of the window.  You can then carefully move the pointer to the start / stop buttons, and click start.  Move the pointer back off the window, and then use the keyboard shortcut (sorry, I forget what it is) to minimize the window to just above the taskbar (that way you won't accidentally mouseover the calendar and shut it down.

Is there any word on this mouse over crash bug for the scheduler?  I am also having the same problem (I posted it in another thread as well and was directed to this one). 
I get the error message as soon as I move the mouse at all when scheduler is open:
----
5: Invalid procedure call or argument
Aurora.Scheduler.CalendarMouse.0
Aurora.Scheduler.CalendarMouse.2.2Col 3Row 1Item 0Bound 0Data

Borealis is the super-secret code name for the schedulerWink. Back in the early beta-test days when I was picking code apart,  I discovered that was what Michael had intitially called it, well the name kind of stuck and is used on occasion as the name of the scheduler, rather than call it Aurora Scheduler.

I see several references to "Borealis" as the name for the sequencer. My system just doesn't show it anywhere except for a single "borealis.dat" file in the Sequencer folder. When sequencer runs (and it does, though I haven't tested whether it outputs, yet), my Vista Task Mananger shows Aurora_scheduler.exe in the Process list, though nothing in the Applications list.

Should I be seeing a program named Borealis?  I'm too far south for the real Northern Lights.

UPDATE:  Hooked up an ACx16 and scheduled a show from the menu bar, being careful not to mouseover the calender.  For the first time in history, a momentous occasion that will be recorded in the ancient tomes, a scheduler actually "worked" for me and played the show correctly.  Of course as soon as I moved the mouse I got an error, the lights shut off (but the music kept going) and when I hit ok, everything stopped. 

Another note that I'll mention here rather than start a new thread is that in the sequencer, I cannot send out commands.  I click the light bulb, and it seems to be going ok (no errors), but nothing actually happens.  No blinky lights.  Network is set up fine.

All's quiet on my Scheduler bug front (no doubt they are hard at work developing a solution as I type this), so I thought I'd update the developers (that's you LightsOnLoganWink)  on what I've learned thus far about the bug.

As I have reported, every time I open Borealis, it immediately closes.  Some further testing has shown that this isn't actually a true statement.  If I move the mouse around in the calender area, it will activate the error and shut down.  BUT, if I hover around the EDGE of the screen (near the start and stop options or the menu bar) it won't error out and close.  I have been able to set up a show, but it gives me a COM port error when running it even though the USB485 is plugged in and the network set... haven't tried the wiLink desk unit yet.  But the main point is that everytime I mouseover the calender itself the program dies.  Dead

My images of the error don't seem to be loading, so here is the text contained within the error box:

Debugging Information: 
5:  Invalid procedure call or argument
Aurora.Scheduler.CalenderMouse.0
Aurora.Scheduler.CalenderMouse.2.2 Col 3Row 0Item 0Bound 0Data
(Note:  The Row and Item sometimes have different numbers depending on the placement of the mouse at the time of the error, e.g. 6Row 4Item, but everything else is the same.)

COM 4 is what my computer assigned to the USB485, and it will be different on every system.  Go to the D-Light Hardware Utility and hit connect.  That will tell you the COM port # your computer assigned to it.  Then create a "network" using that #.

Jon i am using 6 ac16 controllers and the usb-485 adapter. as far as being connected i havent hooked anything up yet, could that be the problem? when i first click on sequencer program a start up box opens, and in the back ground looks like the program the only thing it will let me click on is in the welcome / startup options box my options there are other locations, start new file or import file and there are 2 songs in the box. when i click on import it sees one song i was working on in spectrum sequencer once i click that it opens another box that saysimporting seguence and in that it says dertiming number of channels and then starts reading devices and scans thru all the channels.then another  box opens and says loading audio/video media files and bookmarking then just closes with nothing else. now while it is loading before it closes i can click in the back ground on like file,edit view,settings, help and open these and it stops the loading process and i can look at network settings at first i didnt have any set there, but i read thru some post and it said to set it to network 1 comm 4 and thats where its at. thats pretty much everything there.

 
thanks tim
