Push3 : can't observe a control without grabbing it ?

Post by chapelier fou » Tue Oct 31, 2023 12:45 pm

I wanted to observe the Button Matrix. It's not possible if not grabbed ?

Hey Louis,

This is fixed in the current beta... but it did bring another problem: once something have been grabbed, it won't be observable as a new set is loaded, and Push needs to be rebooted.

And I suppose [closebang] don't work with M4L...
But as far as I know, if something has changed in the set, there must be a dialog box opening, maybe we can use this to know if we're closing a set, and then release all controls ?

Then we can only hope for the future.
Although I’m a bit tired of hoping.

Tried on the latest beta. I can indeed observe the Button_Matrix without grabbing it. But if I reload the set, the observer will not work.
It seems that I need to restart Live.

Live, or Push. Both resets the thing.

Since this issue almost kills the M4L+Push duo, I have hope that it'll be tackled asap.
