Hi Michel !

I have a small issue with your software: If I open a PCG File and highlight and delete, let´s say the 50 first entries, it deletes the programm names, but not the underlaying settings... Could you maybe put a function into your software, wich offers replacement of programm by an empty one - means, if I highlight some programms, press "Replace" it overwrites the programm places with an empty programm and not, like it is with the "Delete" Button, that it just erases the program name, but not the settings...

Cheers
Garfield

Today the 300th user requested PCG Tools.

Thanks for all the nice emails, tips, improvement ideas, bug reports and help to create it.

michel,

I know you have been asked one hundred times, but is there no future for a Mac Version?
I was just checking the Oasys Sticky's as Daz had an Oasys Librarian for the mac, but apparently he pulled everything down?

Maybe Korg's Librarian for Kronos will do the trick? Thanks..

Thanks michel, yes currently only for Set List functionality.
I waited this long, so a litle longer is no problem.

Hey Lou,

Development has been slow lately because of a busy schedule, but if you let me know what features you require, I can give those priority...

I added a new item to the wish list:

NEW FUNCTIONALITY: Auto Renamer
Because it is hard to see which programs are used in a combi/setlist while playing the Kronos, mark all names automatically with a special symbol (or remove the mark when not being used in a combi/set list anymore).
Rough estimation: week

However, I am very busy with rearranging my code. I probably need a few more weeks and then later also once in a while some weeks. I want to continue with adding features within 2 or 3 weeks from now. The one I was busy with before I decided to rearrange was SNG file support so I am going to continue with that. After that I will pick up the one above and others.

So it will be quiet for at least a few weeks more probably. Maybe I bring out a version in between with some small improvements though.

Just a status report this time.

I have good and bad news. Let's start with the good news: I am completely restructuring the application, making it future proof, i.e. when I add new features I will have a better possibility to test them (and to test old functionality has not broken). Also the code will be more clear, for others to use them (e.g. Mathieu Maes for the web version of PCG Tools).
Another thing is I learned a lot about the software programming environment I'm using which makes me a better software engineer.

The bad news: I think I need at least another 3 weeks or more to have a running version again. End even after that, I need to add a lot of test code (but that does not have to be implemented right away, I can do it in stages). The real bad news is that you will not notice any difference, except maybe some fixed bugs (and hopefully no new created).

But the most important thing I want to write is that allthough there haven't been updates during the last weeks and probably not during the next weeks, I have not stopped spending time into PCG Tools and it seems I will not stop for at least some amount of time either.

I will start on adding functionality for SNG file format when the app is up and running again.

Also I am planning later to make an almost completely new user interface with docking windows instead of the current floating windows (but don't pin me on this). I even will not write it on the wish list yet.

Can I get a copy of your pcg reader??

I noticed on at least one location that PCG Tools was available for download.

Please do not upload a copy of PCG Tools to any website, although it is a free app. The reason is that updates cannot be spread when people downloaded the app in such way.

Everybody who passes their email I will give the latest version including updates.

Kind regards,

Michel

I'm sorry for all generic mails I have to send to people requesting the applications lately.

I get about 2 to 3 requests daily lately during the last month so I just can't reply everybody personally except for sending the application including some generic instructions/and remarks.

Hope you understand ... I am still busy making the app ready for more future enhancements.

Kind regards,

Michel

Tokke · Posted: Sat Mar 03, 2012 1:50 pm Post subject: Copy/paste issue

Hello Michel,

I have some issues when copy/pasting combis. What I want to do is rearrange a set of combis to match a gig playlist. Now what I did, is open the same pcg file twice. It contains also all programs needed in the combis. I checked 'Copy incomplete Combis', 'Copy duplicate Programs and combis', and 'overwrite programs and combis'.
When I copy a combi and paste it on another slot, I see that the programs remain on the clipboard.

Which are the boxes to be check when I want to rearrange combis within the same pcg?

Thanks in advance,

Tokke
