A more powerful mapping GUI that would allow for bulk addressing of commands

Open samuraitheta opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

I am new to Companion, but I come from writing controller scripts in Traktor Pro, and Serato...

One of the largest time saves was a program called Xtreme Mapping for Traktor. It allowed for much more advanced editing of mapping for multiple buttons... including batch editing of parameters of controls.

My request, specific to companion is the ability to see all of my button mappings in a list instead of having to click on each button to look at it's style and format, and its bindings... For example... if after mapping my first page and a half of show commands, if I realize i need all of my text top justified, I would love a way to select all of the buttons I've already done and change ALL of them, instead of having to go through and click on each one.

Another example is if I want to add 48 buttons for artnet channels 1 - 48, I have to duplicate a button 47 times and then go into each button and change the value 3 times per button.

Then if I decide later I need these to be latching buttons, I then have to go into each of the 48 buttons and change them again.

I hope this is making sense... a list based button editor would be extremely helpful in building control surfaces.

Thank you!

+1 for this. A list view with multi selection would be a huge time saver for buttons.
