Change "view" to a selected Cue List

[Phil Manson]

Evening,all

A simple request, and one which i can't believe I haven't managed to source an answer for here on the wonderful forms yet,

But is there a way using APPLESCRIPT (or OSC if needed) to change the view to a named CUE LIST

In essence, I want to be able to HOTKEY a cue so that it switches to a particular CUE LIST and shows that on screen irrespective of what CUELIST is currently regarded as active....

Any help, greatly appreciated

The active cuelist is always the cue list that is visible in the main workspace window.

In QLab4 you can open other cue lists in their own windows.

I have looked at this in detail here

Although it will make it active the applescript to switch to a different cue list is

tell application id "com.figure53.QLab.4" to tell front workspace

set current cue list to first cue list whose q name is "Cue List 2" --Change to name of your cue list

end tell

Hi Mic,

Yes, for my sins, i'm still running v3 - mainly due to the fact that I don't use lighting at all, and it seems to be a lot of the changes and updates are based around that, but slowly i'm thinking it might be best to take the plunge anyway as some of this extra functionality, that you so rightly mention, could actually be very useful.

Thanks for the scripting advice; will try it later in v3

Pretty simple with OSC command /select and putting cue numbers on the actual list.

See the exemple.

Also if you want the next cue to be in the list you switch instead of putting the number of the cue list in the OSC command you put the number of the next cue you whant.

Thats great - Many thanks for that. To have both the SCRIPT method and the OSC method are very useful and both wok great

As ever, thanks for all the assistance - really makes the learning curve that little bit less steep
