medman2000 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Hoping one of the beta testers can answer this one... is it easier to enter channel info in LORII compared to LORI? I have 320 channels and clicking on each individual channel to add name/color etc is always a bummer, and if it is faster in LORII I'll wait until at least tomorrow to see if the rumor-mill is true about the release.Thanks!

bob Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 LOR 2 has a new "Channel Property Grid", which shows you a list of a bunch of channels at once, along with their attributes (like name, color, unit ID, etc.), and lets you change those attributes directly from that screen.This was intended to make entering such information faster. Hopefully it does. You can still do it the old way, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavBro Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Medman, Check out Chuck's Channel utility. It will make your life a lot simpler.http://lightorama.mywowbb.com/view_topic.php?id=14445&forum_id=71&highlight=chuck+channel+utility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Fischer Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Wish I knew about chucks utility the other night when I was assigning about 64 channels in my grid -- which is organized by display item NOT by controller, so I have to do each channel manually...-Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 That's why you guys do so much better than me on sequencing. I used three colors this year on three things and the rest are plain old blue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medman2000 Posted November 15, 2007 Author Share Posted November 15, 2007 I can't believe I didn't see that utility earlier. Chuck mentioned on his website that he won't be updating the utility anymore as the functionality will be included in LORII - I guess if the rumors are correct and LORII is out tomorrow, we'll have our answer. If not I'll start using Chuck's utility - will shave several hours off of a very busy pre-Thanksgiving stretch of work!Thanks!medman2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming on the left where you have the channel name, it started as "channel 1" etc until you changed the name? Very cool.Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Push Eject Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Yeah, but is there a Mac version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there would have to be some compensation involved, as well as access to the Win source code :cool:.Actually is anyone here running LOR on either BootCamp or Parallels Desktop on a Mac Intel box? I use Parallels Desktop almost daily, but haven't tried it with LOR...-Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Push Eject Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Awesome, Tim.We have 3 Windows XP, 1 Mac Panther and 2 Mac Tiger machines in the house... God only knows which one will end up being my show computer this year.p.s. the most powerful computer in the place is the $599 mac mini that is our movie server.
