How about displaying a counter/timer on the visualizer screen, this would big a big help when watching the visualizer and you see a place you want to adjust something.

Maybe I am not understanding you, but when I use visualizer, I can see the time rolling up in the upper left of my screen... its how I know where to look when I want to change or add something. |

Thats funny, when I use the visualizer there is no timer which makes it very hard to figure out where I'm at.
Is there some setup I missed?

The visualizer is the virtual show where you draw where the lights go. It does not show the timing. It is a good suggestion.
It would be cool if we could put bigger pictures in the visualizer. When you have tons of channels it would make it easier to see what it happening. |

The timing clock is shown and counts up during the playback with the Visualizer. The clock is directly under the Play/Stop/Light bulb/Visualizer.

I see that clock but I think (or at least in my mind) we are looking for the visualizer to be sliding by at the same time.

I would like to see some kind of jump to time feature. So when I find something that I would like to edit at 3min and 23seconds I could just enter something like 3.23 and click a button instead of scrolling all the way from the beginning or the end. On the other hand I would be one to vote for not making Aurora a very complicated program. I don't have a supercomputer and I would rather not buy one.

Pulling an idea from a different thread, how about an option in the program to have the save feature add a version/build number to the saved sequence name. i.e. Wizards.0004.dls ("Enable Versioning")
It would also need the ability to limit the previous number of sequences saved ("Recent Saves"). I would recommend 10 or so (or also user configurable with a suggested number) with every 10th save permanently left in place so you could have a historical reference in case you needed to go way back ("Archival Saves"), perhaps in a separate directory. This feature should be able to be turned off for those space conscious folks. |

I think that would be a safety net and make a number of people feel mor comfortable. Although I'd like to see the historical saves in a history directory.
Also, since I save A LOT, I think that the "save point" should be created on sequence open, not sequence save. 10 historicals saves would only get me 1/2 hour back.
