I would like to know if there is a way to change the sequence of pages in a device so that as you sequence through (right arrow)they will be in the order prefered instead of the way they happened to be created. (This would mean I dont have to always depend on a link command where they will cause problems.
Same goes for combining out of sequence multiples of the same device pages. Like combining pages only in the same file? i.e. item 2 is dvd and so is item 7.
How to get them together.
I am glad I am not paying me by the hour, but it is fun
to see what this thing can do.
Thanks,

So far, no... pages can't be moved, nor can the devices themselves (though techically the software calls devices "pages").

Daniel,
I notice no one else has asked this question, and I think it important to have had a way around this. I would like not to have to start some parts all over. I guess I am going about this wrong. Should I have done more up front layouts on paper first? I assumed with the computer this would be basic stuff.
Thanks,
rick

True, I would imaging the capability to move something on the computer should be a simple thing to program -- and I've love RTI to add it.

Although it would be nice and hopefully we'll get it eventually, what I end up doing is selecting all buttons, cutting and pasting. It's a bit of a pain but nowhere as bad as it sounds because the software is so quick to use. I use a blank page at the end for buffer space.

Cheers,

DJ

The order in which the pages where created or laid out have absolutely no effect on how the remote operates.

Is having the pages laid out in a very specific order just being a little too anal?

HOW DO YOU GET FROM PAGE 3 TO PAGE 6 IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE SAME SPECIFIC BUTTON ON PAGE THREE YOU WANT TO USE AS A LINK EVERYTIME YOU WANT TO GO TO PAGE 6?

I THOUGHT OF WHAT YOU MENTIONED (PASTE/CUT) BUT I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH. WHERE DO YOU COPY ALL THE BUTTONS TO SO THAT YOU CAN GO BACK AND GET THE ONES YOU WANT? DO YOU MEAN YOU JUST MAKE PAGES AND PAGES OF BUTTONS IN STORAGE SORT OF, IN A PLACE YOU WONT ACTUALY USE THEM, TILL YOU MOVE THEM TO A FINAL RESTING PLACE PAGE.
IF YOU DO THIS (MOVE) WITH A BUTTON THAT HAS COMMANDS AND MACROS ON IT THEY MOVE TOO RIGHT?

I think we need to clear up some technical terms here -- the T2 calls each "device" a "Page". The individual LCD layouts under each "Page" are called "Screens".

Thanks Daniel,
That's what I meant. How to reshuffle SCREEN sequences? So, do I just create a "dummy" device and store as many screens of buttons on it as needed, as a sort of library of labeled buttons to pick from, (copy and paste), to populate other real pages with?
Thanks,
rick

Cancel that last post. Just got the answer from Mitch.

What is Mitch's solution?

copy and paste

Sorry about the confusion with page and screen. You can quickly select all screen buttons with the usual click-n-drag mouse maneuver. And yes all macros and commands are copied.

Let's say I have six screens in my device page, and want to insert a new screen between screens 3 and 4. I cut and paste screen 6 to screen 7 (currently an empty screen - there are twelve per page), then screen 5 to screen 6, then screen 4 to screen 5. Now screen 4 is empty, ready for new buttons.

If instead I wanted to exchange 3 and 4, I would cut screen 4 and paste to screen 7 to temporarily hold the buttons, then cut and paste 3 to 4, then 7 back to 3.

This goes very quickly. If I don't have empty screens left in the device, I'd use a dummy device as Rick mentioned, but I haven't had to do that yet.
