Sequencer menue entries disabled

#1

Post by StarFlea »

Hello!
I saved different sequences for different purposes.

If i runned a sequence, the "Run ..." and "Run Current" entries are then disabled in my sequence menu.
If I want to run another sequence, I first have to call "Edit ...", close the editor-window and only then are "Run ..." and "Run Current" available again.

Hi,

the only thing that would make sense for both of those to be disabled like that is if SharpCap thinks that the sequencer is already running (or has been paused during a run). Is that possible? Maybe they are not being updated correctly after a sequencer run has finished?

If you can give me the exact steps that you need to get into this situation, I can try and work out what is going on in more detail.

cheers,

Robin

Hi Robin,

it's easy: I start SharpCap and immediately load the first sequence.
This will be completed successfully. The "SharpCap Sequencer Progress" window does not close. If I now close this window via the close button (cross at the top right), the menu entries are disabled.

Brilliant, thank you.

The logic for calculating the menu item being enabled or not was just fine... It just wasn't being updated after the sequence finished, so it stayed at the disabled state that got set during the sequence run. Will be fixed in the next SharpCap 4.1 update (4.1 beta).

thanks,

Robin
