Topic: Why I haven't upgraded to VDJ 8 - Page: 1

Questa parte dell'argomento è obsoleta e potrebbe contenere informazioni obsolete o errate

The primary reason is because in VDJ8, they consolidated the SIDE LIST and the PLAY LIST together ... in VDJ7, I used both lists it was part of my workflow, the SIDE LIST which appeared on the bottom and the playlist on the right side. Is there a way to get VDJ8 to show both these lists? Skin or otherwise?

Thanks
El

Please set showHorizontalSideList to "yes" in Settings/ (advanced) Options

That's pretty funny, 8 months in and it was there all along.

But this also shows how needlessly complicated the options are for non-experienced users.

Many things like this are hidden and the options GUI should be far simpler!

It's evolution, we don't want to be held back by the slowest do we? It's all there in the manual.

Imagine if all settings would be on the Skin - unusable i think.

I think there is a really good documentation - as long as you use it. Also there are descriptions for every feature in the options. It took me 15 minutes to click through all of them on the first sight of v8.

There are already a bunch of skins that have menus for selecting various options without needing to open config.

In theory, every single choice in config/options could be put in a menu.

There's nothing stopping a skin designer creating a panel with a bunch of buttons that access sub panels, or having drop down menus etc. Even with that though, it still means the user has to actually do some work / use some brain power to investigate the features on the skin.

It swings both ways. Stuff could be added to the "face" of the skin, but the user still needs to put some effort in and learn how it works.

What was the name of that Ron White album from 2006? :-)

Condescending remarks are unncecessary and needless, man!

It's a cultural thing.

Yup! I guess you're right, man. Some people are just uncultured. Hehe! Peace!

I totally disagree.

Now if there was now search facility in Options - and you have to navigate through options and sub options etc etc, then you have a point.
In reality - almost every option if searched logically is not so hard to find.

My profound apology for digressing, Mod!
(Just bored waiting out this blizzard across the pond.)

Truth to tell is that this forum has been instrumental for me to migrate to VDJ 8, leaving my VDJ 7 comfort zone. Things that I had overlooked and numerous insights I picked up from discussions here, and some, serendipitously, playing with VDJ 8.

My sincere thanks to the people who share their knowledge and experience here, VDJ staff and users alike.
