 I second this.

Well, you couldn't have because you didn't know it was a pixel limit and not a Scene Limit ;)

This issue is one that really annoys me personally, so once we have this next release out the door, I'll see what I can do about pestering one of the programmers to get this bug fixed.

@woland

Thanks, I understood that. My names are mostly abbreviated already, but I'll try to shorten them further. I didn't think about the tip of simply hiding part of the name! I'll try that, too.

Cheers,

Hugh

note: since some updates require a file format change, its best to always copy your project file (and rename it) then open and update this new version so you can be clear about which file is updated and which is original.

This is unnecessary. Having to do this constantly with Isadora 1 and 2 annoyed me so much that for the release of Isadora 3, I bullied Mark into making a dialog that comes up automatically and all but forces you to leave the original file untouched and instead pushes you to open and update a copy of the original file in the new version.

@citizenjoe

It is the same as the bug you linked to.

The issue is not a Scene limit, but actually a pixel limit. You can fit 290 Scenes with the default Scene width, but if you make your Scene names wider you'll hit the bug more quickly. A workaround is to shrink your Scenes horizontally as much as you can while still having them remain readable. You can shorten names by abbreviating things, e.g., a Scene named  "BLACKOUT" could be changed to just "B/O" or "BO", a Scene named "Midsummer Night's Dream Scene 1 Act 1" can be shortened to "MSND S1A1", etc. If you still hit the issue after making your Scene names less wide, you can just shrink them as small as they will go (making them unreadable in the Scene List) and then use the Scene Select Control in the Control Panel to see what the names are and to navigate.

Hi folks,

I've found a weird and new-to-me interface problem in v4.1.3: I have 100 scenes in my show and when I get to the end, it's as if they disappear. What's actually happening is that they are scrolling so far over to the left that they go off the screen. It seems impossible to add more scenes at the end of the line.  I tried to add them earlier and drag them to where I want them, but when I try to do that, it deletes whatever is the current last scene in the show. 

It may be related to this, but I am WAY under 290 scenes... [ANSWERED] Urgent Help needed Can't add more than 290 scenes

Anyone else? 

Cheers,

Hugh v4.1.3

Has anyone ever tried to  send a stage  output from Isadora to the swedish visualization programm "Capture Sweden"?  They offer camera media or OBS as Media player, but there is no other other input available.  Is there a way via syphon? I need to feed Capture Swedens Screens with Isadora Stages. Any help highly appreciated.

best peter

I have a massive tour in 3weeks am I right in saying upgrading could change some of my settings ?

 You can always install newer versions of Isadora alongside your current copy, and test your files in the new version. see: How to Install Multiple Versions of Isadora : TroikaTronix

Given that you say you have a massive tour pending, I'm not sure I would do any upgrading unless I was absolutely confident (much testing) that everything was working as expected.

I’m having playback issues with my Movie Player Actor, where video files are inconsistently not playing…. The actor will spit out a still image, but not the movie file, and sometimes the playback is choppy… These files are using the HAP1 codec on an Alienware Tower… One more wrinkle is that I’m using TouchDesigner via Spout in conjunction with isadora so that we can have some generative interactivity in some cues.

It looks like the KPKUE X90M can only be connected by USBC.

The one that I have linked to has three HDMI inputs, and I would think that would work well to emulate your studio setup on the road. I don't know if you need drivers to make it function this way (as opposed to connecting via USBC). 

I would never upgrade anything just before a major tour... that's kind of asking for trouble!
