Select 'Intensity' and use Scroll Wheel

TonyJr · Sep 14th 2013

Hello/Hallo!

Feature suggestion: Ability to use scroll wheel to adjust Intensity of a fixture, after selecting it.

Idea: Select fixture, click Intensity scroll bar, then use the mouse wheel to rapidly get to the target value. NOTE: some scroll wheels don't have the 'bump' in them i.e. Mac mouse. Some can be fine controlled :). A lot of mice in Windows seem to do a 3 line scroll rather than Mac ones which have a finer control. Maybe others have fine control too, but they are the only ones I have used.

Hows about a setting also for how sensitive the mouse wheel is? - experimental i would guess with many different scroll wheel types.

I hope this is a good idea - it would link the old 'golf ball' wheels of the consoles with mouse wheel of the PCs.

Hi!

If you use the submasters then you are able to use the mousewheel as you suggested. And even if I open for example the generic dimmer and click on the intensity-bar I can control it with my scrollwheel.
It also runs in steps of 1 (0 to 255). So what is not working on you computer?
By the way: in most windows-systems you can adjust the amount of lines the scrollwheel scrolls in your mouse settings.

Sorry, perhaps I misunderstand you idea, but for everythings works like desired. Or do you refer to DMXControl 3? Then it's for sure a feature that was not implemented because there was simply no time to do it.

Hoc: I think he is talking about DMXC 3

I'm afraid we have to split the international part of our forum in a [2] and [3]-section soon...
But a nice cause to tell again that DMXControl 3 will not have all the gadgets and features of DMXC2 from version 3.0 on. A lot of things will follow later.

Hello,

Yes, I was referring to DMXC 3. I should have said!

I have not tried DMXC 2 - maybe if I did, I would have known about scrolling already working.

Thank you for your replies - I will sit back and watch to see what is added to DMXC 3.
