I moved this topic, just so you know, to the Beta Testing forum.
So I think there could be some good ideas here, but I'm confused by some.
1) The events be, by default - Be made active inactive
So, you're saying that when a new Event is created, it should be "Omitted" by default, so the user must deliberately make the Event active by unchecking the "Omit" checkbox?
2) A button or link, so that you can either select all events or select several events. For example, the inbox on googlemail, when you can select all / several messages.
The idea is that you can select more than one event and either make them active or inactive
I understand this and it's been on my radar for some time. The reason I haven't touched this yet is, essentially, application consistency. If I change the Events tab to work this way, I need to change all of the tabs to work this way. I'm not going to do one without the others because it's confusing and the application needs to be as consistent as possible. There are certainly other examples of inconsistency in the application, but I'm not going to consciously introduce another one. As with most features ... I hope to get to it some day.
4) But also when you make an event and click OK the you have to tick on the action to make it active. I would like to see, that when you create an event, it becomes active once you click ok
This confuses me. Isn't this the opposite of the first point (1)?
5) Have the events highlighted,so that you can see at a glance wether the events are active or inactive.
The events are already highlighted in red text if they have an issue, such as having no Actions attached to them, or referencing Sounds that cannot be found on the disk. I'm hesitant to introduce another highlight, but I do see the point. How about the description of the event having a line through it,
like this, if the Event is currently omitted (inactive)?
