Firewood1 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Hi there, Has anybody had any trouble with the Congo Offline Editor? I have discovered a very weird problem and yet I find it almost impossible to refer to it as a glitch or bug as it's so huge, there is no way ETC would not have noticed. Here it is....I can record a Palette (holding down R, then ALT followed by P) I can record Colour (hold down R, then ALT followed by C) same with focus palettes using F key. In the list of shortcuts, as you might expect, B is the key for Beam. However when I hold down R, press ALT and then B, I do not get a window pop up asking me to name my new beam palette, as I do for focus, colour and general palettes. If anybody has any suggestions I'd love to hear them. It's not a keypad lock issue either, as the keypad on my laptop does not overlap the B key. I look forward to any responses!

Firewood1 Posted October 28, 2007 Author Share Posted October 28, 2007 Just to add something....can anyone reply just to let me know if their own Congo Offline Editor works fine? I have installed this on 2 computers and am having the same problem on both!! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jay Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 I have to say, I have the Congo Offline Editor works fine on my desktop computer and my laptop. Strange problem. Good luck on finding the answer ToshiBoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Congo Offline 4.3.2 is happy to do it here - [R] & [Alt] & Have you tried an external keyboard (USB or PS/2)? - Many laptop keyboards are a little 'odd' (I know mine are!) Don't forget you can also hold down [R] and click the {Beam} softkey in the Moving Light dock - although this does have a habit of filling the name text box with "rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firewood1 Posted October 28, 2007 Author Share Posted October 28, 2007 Thanks "Tomo" I will try that instead. I'm having a nightmare with it but as you say, it's more than likely to be my keyboards. I think a USB keyboard might be a worthwhile investment. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzos89 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Hi It's strange that we can't record the beam palette like the focus even in offline editor of 4.3.2 version. I try that in my PC and I can do it only using the moving light dock. Why don't you post that question on the Congo forum at etc website? maybe over there they get you some answers. http://www.etcconnect.com/Community/forums/11/ShowForum.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sclausenETC Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Hi there - It appears that I cannot do this with my external USB keyboard either. I am pretty sure I have done this successfully with my laptop keyboard, though. I also know that it works fine with an X-Keys panel. Some keyboards must handle multiple simultaneous keyhits better than others... Thanks - Sarah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
