      This was resolved via the ticket system. In the current release of Isadora, if you have some special characters in the file name, eg / \ | ? * ", then the capture actors won't work correctly. This has been fixed in an internal beta and thus this won't be a problem once we have a new public release.

      Kinda a weird workaround, but if you tell them to always save the file into the same folder as the Isadora file (or the desktop), you can have an Automater Applescript waiting for files to be saved into that folder. When they are, the script can check all the names of the .txt files in the folder and save the names into another "Master List" .txt file (with a set name) formatted so that each file your client saves is added as a new line to the "Master List" .txt file. That way, you can have a Data Array actor looking for the Master File that will allow your client to use the Control Panel to select which file name they want to load in. You may want to put this "Master List" Data Array actor and Control Panel in a separate Scene with a separate Control Panel so that you can add a button on your normal Control Panel that jumps you into the Master List/File Select Scene. Either that or always keep it active as a background Scene and add Controls so that you can always use it to select which Data Array actor file your client wants to select for your main Scene.

      Here's a zip file with an example file, some sample text files, and an Applescript with some instructions for setup at the beginning.

      Applescript:

      By the way, you don't need the video to image actor anymore. The video  input  and vider output are mutable so you can connect a ci actor to your video player:

      i ve saw you have an answer but because , one question has often many answer , I would know if it could possible to use user actor ? 

      Build your user actor as you builded your first scene , then past that user actor in each scene that you need it . Then each time you need ( new show ?)  Change the value in the user actor in the first scene and when close the user actor , select update all . 

      It will work , no ?

      To illustrate what the others are saying, here's a gif that shows how the Gate will only allow values through that while it is "on".

      As Michel said, when you turn a Gate on, it does not automatically push a value from the input if that value is just static.

      No problem. Mutability gets a bit tricky where User Actors/Macros are involved. Once you know the trick about forcing things to mutate, it's easy though.

      Mr_J

      Hi @dusx the top comparator in the second row outputs "true" when there's a match but "true" and "false" when there isn't... as you say i think its a timing issue and its input is actually going from 1 to 0 very fast, hence causing true and false output

      i've managed to create a work-around by increasing the first router's number of outputs from 9 to 10 and also the first table's number of inputs from 9 to 10 and then ignoring the first of each, as per this updated patch Step Sequencer (ver 25) workaround.izz which now achieves what i was after

      rgds, Mr J

      You could always look online for another FFGL plugin that is 64bit or a GLSL Shader that does a similar thing.

      I think you should be able to find a 'FFGL Tile' plugin that may replace the MultiVid actor, depending on your exact usage.
      Try the 'FFGL Tile' actor in the oficial FFGL bundle first: https://troikatronix.com/plugi...
