Pilot Error? Variation Capture

General discussion about Gig Performer
1

If I add a new widget into a rackspace then open previously made songs based on that rackspace, there seems to be no saved state of that new widget value.

If I do a variation capture of a changed value on that new widget, that is (sort of) the new value for that widget across the songs. It seems then I have to go to every single song on every single song part and capture it with the widget value set originally in panel view (if that’s the value I want)

This can be quite tedious but I understand why it may be the desired behavior

Given that, can we get a shortcut key assigned to “Capture variations into this part”? This would save some sanity points I think.

As described in the documentation, you can just connect a button to the TakeSnapshot system action to do this. I do this all the time with a button in the global rackspace.

Can you assign a keyboard shortcut to that button?

You can use a gig script to react on keyboard input and call the function TakeSongPartSnapshot()

// Use the 's' key to take a snapshot
On Keystroke matching "s" Description "Take Snapshot"
   TakeSongPartSnapshot()
End

awesome! Thank you

Addendum: This only works as long as the GP-window has focus!

Well, you have to have access to the widget but you can map it to a button on a controller
