Could you change the dialog to "can’t copy nuthin’ “? Cause that would be even more badass. Or even better, go all Mr. T- " I pity the fool who tries to copy when there ain’t nuthin to copy”

Yeah, as OGG mentioned too, the path seems to be fixed.

Thanks for the explanation about the windows and docking.

Macadamia crusted trout, and Brussels Sprouts- folks have to eat, right…?

I’d like to think we all behave at our best when illegal values are tossed at us.

…but we are only human. Or code. Depending…

OS 1.25E just released…maybe documented Bug001 could get some benefits from it? (not that I have experienced the bug yet)

ok, lets go =)

[Win XP sp3]

-----------------------------Day_01-----------------------------

1) ProjectManager module:

the EXECUTE button has a green tick next to it only after being triggered one time. When opening the SW there is not such an icon.
(just an aesthetic shit…)

2) ProjectManager module:

I cannot visualize the Target Slots in the Mapping window, only the Source ones.
Maybe it’s just me, but so far, I was not able to see anything in that column.

3) General:

Resizing the window produces no effect on the frames of the Module.
I believe this is intentional and would have no importance for Project module - but it would make a tiny difference in the ProjectManager module when it comes to long path names in the Source/Target Name. So far I have to scroll if decide to widening that/those column/s.
And not fully able to let me read all the content if the column is the TargetName or Error.
I can anyway read it by hover the mouse.

4) Project module:

The ProjectPath usually shows the following:

D : \Octatrack\Sets\O-ELECTRDEMO (I don’t know why)

This shows with any of these Sets I have on the CF now:

• a fresh created Set and Project

• the Monolith Set and Project

5) ProjectManager module:

Am I misunderstanding or does the Mapping on Slots copy/paste doesn’t work?
(I am not speaking about the two windows that appear, the one that is not implemented and the second that says ‘success’)

6) Project and ProjectManager modules

this comes to Bug002 (Refresh action) and kind-of for Bug003:

Rusty, I have tried using the free Octapacks from the Elektron website (O-DUBSDEMO; O-ELECTRODEMO; O-TECHDEMO).
I’ve chosen them as playground for your Editor.

I believe that O-TECHDEMO has some issues within, since it always returns the error (Bug002) when selected (doesn’t matter if it’s Target or Source)

And also returns error (Bug003) when opened using the main bar.

3 things:

• the second line of the error window shows: “Octatrack Software Editor” instead of “Octatrack Editor” as in the document (but I am fussy…sorry =)

• I don’t get that label’s junk

• it actually doesn’t load properly since the BPM doesn’t get updated (and other stuff)

(corrupted Project?)

I find a great potential in these mountains of code…Thank you a lot Rusty!

P.S.
thumbs-up for the Priority stuff !! :wink:

Ok, I have saved within OT (1.25D) all those three demo Sets/Projects to be conformed to OT’s OS

Now O-TECH doesn’t return that error!

Then I tried simple Bank copying:

OTECH (Bank01) >> OELECTR (Bank02)
ok from the Editor

but the OELECTR results corrupted in OT and not openable anymore (like it was prior to this action).
I mean, OT returns the following error window:

THIS PROJECT IS EITHER CORRUPT OR SAVED WITH A NEWER VERSION OF THE OCTATRACK OS! PLEASE UPGRADE TO LATEST OS

Then I tried
ODUB >> OTECH

OTECH results corrupted

I am quite sure that OTECH has some issues within…

OTECH (Bank01) >> ODUB (Bank02)
ok from the Editor

ok to be loaded from OT, but I cannot save it again: the OT returns an error window:

SOME ERRORS OCCURED WHILE SAVING PROJECT FILES!
“PROJECT WRITE PROTECTED”

Also, is not possible to SyncToCard.

Then I saved it as New…all ok now

OELECTR already loaded on OT
I perform Bank copy:
ODUB (Bank01) >> OELECTR (Bank05)
ok from the Editor

But once ejecting usb, on OT I get this error window:

SOME ERRORS OCCURED!
“PARSE ERROR”
DO YOU WANT TO ABORT LOADING THIS PROJECT? YES/NO

I pressed NO (so loading anyway the Project) and the Slot Lists (Static/Flex) were empty now.
Same if I pressed YES.

I tried the opposite: OELECTR >> ODUB

back to OT and I get the same Parse Error with empty Slot Lists

I’ll continue some random testing…do you have any suggestions Rusty?

For the afternoon I’ll use just fresh created Sets/Projects
