Suggestion for update : Active Cues List

[Willo]

The shows I am currently running often have a lot of cues running at once. I can only see about 14 cues in the 'Active Cues' list,  and quite often these are not actually cues, but the group folders that the running cue resides in. 

Could you please add a "Display Size of Active Cues list" option to the settings, so that we can have some control over the size of the lines of text, and see more cues in the list at once? 

Thanks.

I've always thought it might be best if the Active Cues display size  followed the settings/general /display size of cue list rows.  Having said that, anything smaller than the current size might be difficult to read, particularly when the QlLab display is at the  end of a large console.

A common method  of increasing the number of active cues that can be displayed is to rotate the monitor 90 degrees, which allows 28 cues on a 1920 pixel wide monitor or 56 on a 4K monitor.

The Active Cues display is on my list to try to redesign for v6; we’ll see where it goes...

One way to do this, without causing too much confusion ("my cues not running" type complaints) would be to have a "Filter" toggle button at the top of the Active Cues panel. Then in the Basics tab of each cue an additional check box "show in filtered active cues list" which would be checked by default. When the filter button was pressed in the active cues list, only those cues which have the 'show filtered' check box checked (ie everyone by default, to not change current behaviour).

This would give users control over which cues are display in the filtered active cues list (could be whatever the operator thought was useful for monitoring, pausing/stopping or whatever) and wouldn't change current behaviour.

As an additional suggestion to add to your list, it would be nice if the active cues list window could have the options to "pop out" and "float", as can currently be done with the inspector window.

Thx!

I like this idea.  I think there'd be a lot of instances where I'd rather just see the video and audio cues actively playing and don't need to see the active groups... which would save a lot of visual real estate.
