V7 - Live Preset Button hard to get last step

Postby eedetail » 15 April 2014, 16:56

Hi Support, I got a chance to play a bit, starting with a blank "Test" show.
Made a scene for a RGBA LED Puck, 5 steps, each a different color.

Added button to Live, and made it a Preset button.

The last step is harder to get to with the mouse, and it will likely be really hard with a touch screen. You have to click on the extreme right of the Preset slider to get to it.

Is there a way you can increase the amount of area that when you click in, you will advance the step?
Attached screen shot of the area i am speaking about.
Thanks as always.

In our opinion, this is not a problem.
Just click anywhere in the preset, keep pressed and slide to the right over the limit of the preset, and release the button/finger.

Press and hold is extremely difficult with touchscreens.

Agreed that it is a challenge with touchscreens. So I just do a long press on button, get dropdown menu, scroll down to the bottom for:
Steps

And just select the value I want. Is it lunky? Sure. But it works. And I have a variety of touch screen devices makes/brands/models. And they all behave in slightly different ways from how many point touch they are, to how they treat a long press on a Flash Button. To how they behave when remoting in to the PC, versus how they behave when using the lighting software app.

Understood, but in the other side, it would be quite frustrating for people using only the mouse, to add an empty space of 5mm (0,2 inches) at both sides of the preset, only for touchscreens having problem with long press.

There should be a way in the touchscreen settings to set: "ignore right click and consider long press" !

But with a mouse you can click and drag. Easy enough to get last step of a Preset slider.
As to touchscreens? The are diverse in their behaviours. So I just figure out what makes whatever the one I am using does whatever I need it to do to work.

It would be nice to "hover" preset or fader with mouse and "Scroll" value
