alrobin Posted February 9, 2003 Report Posted February 9, 2003 Just for fun, Michel, I loaded your excellent "Travail" demo-effects show into "Adjustor", and it showed red all through it, indicating timing conflicts. Knowing that this could not be so, I did a few simple measurements, and realized that for non-timeline-synched shows the measurement of the times is different than for "synched" shows. i.e. the "delay" starts at the end of the "transition" time, so there can be no conflict in the case of these types of presentations.So, unfortunately, it's back to the drawing-board this AM to correct this. My apologies to anyone who has been frustrated by this glitch. I will let you know when the new version is posted.I can now sympathize with Igor - at least he tests out his software more than I do before releasing it! Ciao,Al Quote
LumenLux Posted February 9, 2003 Report Posted February 9, 2003 Al, I personally don't have a problem when "glitches" appear. I think it is great that you "publish" the problems. I figure when you or boxig or nobeefstu or anyone else is able and willing to help in programming areas - we recipients should be grateful to the n'th degree. We should simply understand that your willingness to let us in on the ground floor may mean a little longer climb to the goal. I think it is far different than when a commercial product is rushed to market for big bucks and still has errors that are living proof that the software is not tested to any meaningful degree. I think Igor is very wise in sharing his Beta's as he does. We users can always stick with the "proven" version until we feel the new features justify the risk of the new version. Quote
Lloegyr Posted February 9, 2003 Report Posted February 9, 2003 Yes LumenluxThis guy Al is so goodA real backup to IgorMikeMersea Island Quote
Guest guru Posted February 10, 2003 Report Posted February 10, 2003 Yes Al, don't worry about these issues... What it really important is your excellent work. Little bugs like this are not so serious, and can be corrected when somebody finds them! Quote
LumenLux Posted February 10, 2003 Report Posted February 10, 2003 Of course we do expect the update by no later than noon today! Quote
alrobin Posted February 10, 2003 Author Report Posted February 10, 2003 OK, Bob, I just uploaded the latest corrections to the model to fix some glitches in the "non-synched" version. (see beta 2.04 on my web page, PTE Items . By the way, it's still noon in parts of PTE-land! As before, be my guest, but please inform me of any more glitches or improvement suggestions.Ciao,Al Quote
Guest guru Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 I admit.I had no more used this Alrobin's utility after its first appearance. I'd get a very good impression (I'd said, I think).Today I've checked the two last versions (v2 and v2.04 beta), and I was much impressed by the progress of this "spreadsheet". Its convenience and its suitability are outstanding, and also its use (after a first moment necessary to understand and learn how it's working) is very easy.I think this "PTE Time Adjustor" should have to become an usual and needful tool for all make sync shows with PTE. And I must say a big THANKS to Al. Quote
alrobin Posted February 12, 2003 Author Report Posted February 12, 2003 Thanks, Guru.If you liked the previous version, you will love this one!I have automated the fle loading and saving procedures and uploaded a new beta, 2.05, to my site, Adjustor Model Enjoy!Anythng else you would like it to do? Cappucino anyone? Ciao,Al Quote
LumenLux Posted February 12, 2003 Report Posted February 12, 2003 Nice work Al, sounds like it your really polishing it up. I just DL'd it and hope to try it tomorrow. I will mention here the link in your latest message here would not work for me. I went to your webpage (in earlier messages) and the DL link on your page worked no problem. Thank you now, again.

alrobin Posted February 12, 2003 Author Report Posted February 12, 2003 Sorry, Bob. You are right, I forgot to put on the ".htm"! (Thats what I get for working too late!). Glad you were able to use the old one.Here is the correct one for anyone else who is stumped: Adjustor Model Ciao,Al Quote
alrobin Posted February 13, 2003 Author Report Posted February 13, 2003 Sorry, folks to bother you with another glitch.I just realized that the method used for searching for PTE files in the new automated beta version of "Adjustor" was implemented first in Excel 2000. Users of Excel 97 will have to stick to the "old" manual method for loading PTE files into the model and then saving them to ".prn" files.I hope to correct this by using the previous method for file searching (i.e. by using the "Dir" function instead of the "FileSearch" object.) Will advise everyone when this is available. Bill Gates says he's sorry for the inconvenience! Quote
LumenLux Posted February 13, 2003 Report Posted February 13, 2003 Bill Gates says he's sorry for the inconvenience!Now there is a quote to add to my collection. (Along with a letter from the IRS admitting that THEY had apparently "processed wrong" the money and documents sent to them. Quote
alrobin Posted February 14, 2003 Author Report Posted February 14, 2003 Just a note to let you know that thanks to Bill Gates, the new beta for Adjustor (revised to be compatible with MS Excel 97) is posted on Adjustor . Happy Valentines' Day! Quote
alrobin Posted February 15, 2003 Author Report Posted February 15, 2003 Posted new beta 2.06 at 4:30 AM, Igor's time. Quote
