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. |

Borealis is the super-secret code name for the scheduler. 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.

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 ---- |

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. |

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.

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