I think I have found a small, annoying bug in the new software.

It has to do with the way PAGE FLIPS are done.

I have a HOME page with activity buttons.
When an activity button is pushed, I trigger a System Macro on the RP6.
The activity button is set to standalone mode, so I can do a PLEASE WAIT page....but I actually use a series of page flips to create an animated progress bar...

I've done that many many times on the T2+ and a few times on the T2C using the old software.... and it works fine on the new software as well.....EXCEPT:

In this case, my Please wait series of pages was at the bottom of my page list.
Then I added some new source pages, and to keep these logical, I "inserted" them above the please wait series in the page list.

The problem is that by doing that I changed the Page numbers of the please wait pages...
And, on SOME (but not all) of my activity macros, I found that the button macro wasn't going to the correct pages.

SO instead of this:

1. Flip to Please Wait Page 1
2. Send Macro Trigger (ie Watch TV)
3. Flip to Please Wait page 2
4. Flip to Please Wait page 3
5. Flip to Please Wait page 4
6. Flip to Cable Box source control page.

I got something like this:

1. Flip to DVD source page (wrong)
2. Send Macro Trigger (Watch TV)
3. Flip to Please Wait page 4 (wrong)
4. Flip to XM radio source page (wrong)
5. Flip to FM tuner source page (wrong)
6. Flip to CD player source page (wrong)

I think I've got them all fixed.... and I reorganized my page list like this:

1. Home Page
2. Please Wait 1
3. Please Wait 2
4. etc,,
..
.
.
.
.
10. Source page (DVD)
11. Source Page (TV)
12. Source Page (CD)
... etc

I did this so that the page flips will ALWAYS be the same page NUMBERS.... and if I need to add sources, they are always at the END of the list... In fact, this is how I normally arrange them anyways...but I don't always do it this way from the start. I often rearrange the pages into an organized list once everything is working ....


Bit of a pain...but thought I'd mention it: If you are moving your page orders around, verify that your macros are sending you to the desired page(s)
...couple a thumb tacks and a stick of double sided tape should hold this baby up...
