Feature Request : Turn camera off when editing device

Post by gavspav » Thu Jan 07, 2010 8:49 pm

Somewhere down the line please sort out some kind of automatic handling which turns any grabber devices off when editing a Max Device.

It is really tiresome having to remember to send a close message to the grab object every time you go from one environment to the other.

And if you forget one or other app seems to crash, at least with the device I'm working on.

I guess an editbang object might be useful for stuff like this - so you could make a bunch of stuff happen before going into Max/back to Live.

can't you use thispatcher to do open/close messages based on where the current focus is?

Ooh dunno - I'll look into it. How would I get the thispatcher onject to respond to pressing the edit button though?

Even if there is a workaround, I'd still like to request the feature.
