Chapter 5. Version 1.9.5.1

5.1. New Features

5.1.1. Solo Mode

Added new Solo Mode for theatre programming. Pressing CTRL + HIGHLIGHT enters solo mode. In Solo Mode all heads that are not selected are set at 0% intensity. The selected heads are unchanged.

5.1.2. FX Palettes

Added FX Palettes option in Setup, View Settings, Cue Storage to determine behaviour of FX palettes.

When set to "Normal" or "Changes unlink FX palettes" the FX Palettes link into the Cues and any updates to the FX Palette cause the Cues to be updated.
When set to "Disabled" there are no links between the FX Palettes and the Cues.
When set to "Changes unlink FX palettes" any updates to the FX in the Prog Window or Cue Window cause the link back to the FX Palette to be broken.

5.1.3. Num Boxes Wide

Added Num Boxes Wide option in Setup, View Settings, Windows to force the number of boxes wide for all box windows such as Group, Position, Colour, Beam, FX, Page, Cue Store, Stack Store, Macro. This can be used to ensure that the layout of items in windows remains consistent between different console types - particularly useful for the Group window.

It does not affect spreadsheet views.

Note that the per monitor, number of boxes wide in Setup, view System, View Monitors takes priority over this setting, when set to anything other than "Default" .

5.1.4. Other Changes

Added new option in the Tools menu on MagicQ PC for Training Large Font. This overrides the Text Size setting in Setup, View Settings, Windows to force Vert Large Font - useful for training. This is stored as a console setting not as a show setting, so loading new shows will not affect this setting.

The Group Window, Head View now shows the number of Cues a Head is used in for the cursor head.

Add Used and Unused filter to Group Window, View Heads.

Convert Cue Store and Stack Store filtering to dialogue box selection instead of encoder +/-.

Windows set to be Fixed in Setup, View Monitors are ignored if the Monitor is disabled.
