Display the same cue multiple times in a show (Clone/Mirror cue)

[wargreen]

First, thank's a lot for your software !

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I often need to reuse a cue, with the same file, config... For eg. i have a cart view with an Akai MPD, and i need the same cue on two pages. For now i need to create one and copy it on the other pages, but i need to redo all my changes on many pages.

Describe the solution you'd like Add a "Clone" cue type. In the UI :

• Add cue / Clone
• A window with a list for select the source
• Same cue's parameter window that edit the source cue, with a message at the to like "Clone of *****"

Describe alternatives you've considered Searched with action cue for shot other media cue, but complicated to use.

Additional context I think that can be used as "jingles" in list view, or other repeating sounds.

What you appear to be describing can be achieved through the use of Collection cues: create one media cue and put it somewhere, then create a Collection cue that points to it. Duplicate this Collection cue as many times as you need - triggering any of them will trigger the original media cue; and this original media cue serves as your single location for setting media source, fade times, etc.

If you need to set the names of multiple cues at once, then the "Rename Cues" dialog (found on the "Tools" menu) can be used.

Thank you for your response. I've just try, but isn't really the same : by this way we can control another cue, so change only one media file, but we can't see the timer for the cue, edit directly all the midi mapping for this cue... It's a kind of wrapper for the cue, and not really another "slot" for the same cue object.

EDIT : Maybe i need to explain a bit more my setup : For a show, I have a MPD24 and two (and more soon) pages of musics, Fxs and more. The pages on the MPD are just differents ranges of MIDI notes. In my LiSP session, some FXs i have are on many pages and are the same. So I need to have the same object, with multiple midi bindings and multiple representation on-screen. For the workflow, have a collection is not really usable : we can't see all the info about the cue (timer, name...), we need to research the original cue to edit it, edit all the collection cue for change the name...
