This post serves as a resolution to reported problem of editing of 'Jumps' not working as expected.
The following discussion is intended to clarify how the 'Jump' operations work in SNL.
Following a disc/track selection, the user may want to jump to a specified device panel. This may be accomplished in the following 3 ways.
1. Add Jump to the Action List of your 'After Disc' or 'After Track 1 Digit' or 'After Track 2 Digits' buttons.
2. Check the 'Jump' checkbox on the Edit List Dialog and select a destination panel.
3. Check the 'Jump' checkbox on the Edit Player Dialog and select a destination panel.
The behavior is as follows:
SNL selects the first 'Jump' it finds in the order listed above when generating the List entries.
Example #1, A 'Jump' in your 'After*' buttons' Action Lists prevents items 2 and 3 from being processed.
Example #2, specifying a 'Jump' in the Edit List Dialog prevents any 'Jump' specified in the Edit Player Dialog from being executed.
Why does all this matter?
Some use a DVD Changer to play both CDs and DVDs. They want to have different devices in their CCFs for CDs or DVDs.
More than likely, they will have a single player defined in SNL (MyDVDPlayer).
They will have 2 Lists (Movies and Music).
In this case, the user wants to jump to a CD device when a disc is selected from 'Music' and to a DVD device when a disc is selected from 'Movies'.
Here, the user has 2 options.
1) embed the Jump into the 'After *' buttons
Or
2) simply specify the required Jump in the Edit List Dialogs.
Option 2 is the better choice because the user can then make the change directly in SNL without having to edit the source CCF to make the change.
Furthermore, doing this prevents confusing unexpected behavior when a 'Jump' is specified in SNL but appears differently when the output CCF is generated.
Happy Holidays, Lyndel
