I have several stage to pictures in replacement mode named 1-8 . If there is no pictures in the bin, you ar not able to grab since it sees no picture to replace..
There are two solutions to this:
The first is to prepare your file so 'replace' already works:
1. Use a Capture Stage to Picture actor set to mode 'add' to capture as many placeholder pictures as you need.
2. Select them in the media view.
3. Choose "Clear".
4. Thus ensuring that the desired media slots exist.
5. Thus allowing the Capture Stage to Picture actor set to mode 'replace' to function
6. This even allows this to work if you don't create the new media files consecutively (here I skipped from 1 to 5).
The second solution is programming a bit of logic into your patch. ---> DOWNLOAD EXAMPLE FILE
WHEN: Capture actor set to mode 'replace' is triggered
IF: Name of the appropriate media number of the appropriate type does NOT change (i.e. does not exist)THEN: Trigger capture actor set to mode 'add' to create a picture file of the appropriate type.REPEAT: Until media of the correct index exists.ELSE: Do nothing because media of the specified index exists and was created or replaced.
