hello again
i'm trying to give lemur another go to get it successfully into my workflow, to do that it requires a bit of setting up, sorting out
a couple of years ago i asked a few simple questions and got nowhere to be honest, left me in a bit of a checkmate state
i've hacked a few solutions together over the years but nothing to build up a head of steam
so, i'm back at ground zero
help !
this is part of a question i posted a couple of years ago, is it me or is this broken
Q) the alt keystroke associated with this 'Lemur Connection' icon does *not* work - none of the Alt+? keystrokes do (on 10.6 Mac) ! Is it just me ?
Sure I can click the icon, but in general, when UIs slow me down or are 'difficult' i loose patience and drive to continue
I want to start here getting in and around the editor efficiently so that the thinking part of using lemur is left for scripts etc
Alt Fault ?

Alt Fault ?

Re: Alt (F)alt ?
Hi
Not sure if it has worked - but then never really been bothered by it not working . . . Probably just hanging around from Legacy Editor . . .
It really is not that much of an issue in my mind - Just connect at the start of your session, and hit Synchro or use Command+R (it works) . . .
Occasionally if you lose the connection you might get confused when testing on your iPad but just remember to resend at critical test times .. .
Not much speed is gained really, and it does not really matter that much, it does not need to be a 'quick' experience and its not that difficult . . .
In fact you should be spending a lot of time in the design/development stage before you even start building/coding things imho . . .
ymmv

i'll man up and overlook these niggles (try anyway), when you are fighting the environment and not the solutions/designs/algorithms etc it soon grates, but that's just me
a bit of finesse on the front end is waaaaaaaaay more impressive than all the 'bells and whistles' that are out of reach !
making a good interface is not easy, but it could be more newcomer friendly
i wish the palette parts of the window would separate mind you so i could use this extended desktop, otherwise it's all a bit cramped
In fact - to sum up my UI bugbear annoyance - i am actually invigorated to try lemur again because of the new possibilities
to my mind the old skins, even the 'simple' ones are a UI fail - unreadable in many cases
it's virtually impossible to tell 'meaningfully' without reference to a number, whether a 0-127 slider e.g. is at 0,1,2 or 125,126,127
i'm hoping to do some custom simple sliders which reflect a noticeable difference between 0 &1 and 126 and 127 (ie toggle a border on/off for 0,64,127 states)
anyway - i'll ask support about the copy to library issue and try to stay +ve about the niggley stuff
cheers
