Can double click on a cart open PFL?

Post by franksiegers »

Hi Bernd,

Is it possible to have double on a cart open the PFL player instead of playing the cart?

That way double click on a cart would be more consistent with a double click on a playlist entry or browser entry.

I use the mouse only for PFL and the Airlite to start tracks and carts.

Greetings,

Frank

No, that is currently not possible. Every double-click also comes with a previous click.
Also does not every user have a D&R mixer and operates it like you.
Thus the cartwall needs some special handling...

A new v4.2.0.3.-Update is available, which now allows an additional double-click mode for the cartwall:

None: The cart starts/stops playing on a single click and doesn't do anything on a double-click. A cart can be selected by clicking on its ID field. Use the right mouse button for dragging the cart track.

Play Cart: The cart starts/stops playing on a double-click and you can select the cart on a single click.
Use the left mouse button for dragging the cart track.

PFL Cart: The PFL player is invoked on a double-click for that cart and you can select the cart on a single click.
Note: Playing the cart is NOT possible via a simple click in this mode, it plays via a right-click here!
Use the left mouse button for dragging the cart track.

Hi Bernd,

Thanks, I've upgraded and went to Settings > Player settings and set Cartwall I OnDoubleClick to PFL Cart. Now when I double click on a cart, the PFL player opens, which is great! Unfortunately, a single click still plays the cart instead of selecting it.

Also, the Cartwall II OnDoubleClick option is called Play PFL while Cartwall I option is called PFL Cart.

Could you perhaps take another look please?

Thank you,

Frank

Hi Bernd,

I've tested 4.2.0.4. with PFL Cart / Play PFL:

- Single click: Selects cart as expected.
- Double click: Start PFL as expected.
- Right mouse: Plays cart as expected.
- Single/double/right click on ID field: does nothing.

In this mode, there doesn't seem to be a way to open the context menu for a cart. Could this be assigned to right mouse or ID field?

Cheers,

Frank

This is already possible - hold the CTRL-Key and make a right-click in case you selected the "Play PFL" mode to show the Context-Menu.
