FS#5525 - Improvement to entry of cuelist times: accept decimal values
Hi,
I would like to suggest an improvement to the way times are entered in the cuelist.
Currently, if I wanted to enter a time of 5 seconds 300 milliseconds for a wait cue, I would need to enter “5s300ms” which is quite awkward to type because it’s a mixture of numbers and letters. If I try to enter “5.3” this generates an error message “Trigger value not valid”.
Ideally, decimal numbers would be automatically turned into seconds and milliseconds. Eg “10.244” becomes “10s244ms”, and “0.123” becomes “123ms”.
I create a lot of time-based cuelists with a large number of ‘wait’ cues and it would be much quicker to be able to enter these values entirely on the numeric keypad rather than having to keep typing ‘s’ and ‘ms’ to denote seconds and milliseconds.
This should probably be consistent wherever times are entered - so the fade and delay values should also work the same way. (Currently fade times default to milliseconds but cue times default to seconds which is inconsistent.)
