Now if you want to embed a WATCH or LISTEN page macro into another in the 900, 950, and TX-1000 it is much easier.

Lets say you want to create an ALL OFF button on WATCH page1 for an easy system off. Now from LISTEN page1 you want an ALL OFF, instead of re-creating or importing the macro, click the LISTEN page1 ALL OFF button then click macro record. Now navigate to WATCH page1 and press the SHIFT key when you click on ALL OFF on the WATCH page. It will add this button to the macro and your LISTEN function will call the macro from the WATCH page so you still only have one macro built and you can call it from many places.

Embedding macros from inside another device was always easy and even the ON and OFF buttons on the WATCH and LISTEN pages were easy to embed, but the LCD buttons on the WATCH and LISTEN pages were tricky. There was a way to do it before but it was much more cumbersome!

This is a much needed improvement,

Thanks again URC!

Good info. To get around the fact that you couldn't call an LCD button on the Listen/Watch pages from a macro, I had created separate devices called WMACROS and LMACROS and then called the LCD buttons on those from the WATCH/LISTEN pages and from wherever else I needed to call them from. This new way is much simpler.

Why doesn't URC list ALL of the added features, updates, and bug fixes in their Update History? Motherboard manufactures do this as Standard Operating Procedure. They provide a readme file with every update that lists every thing the new BIOS update added and fixed plus all of the previous updates and what they added and fixed.

How hard can it be? The programmers and engineers know what new features and fixes are being added and I know it's documented somewhere. Why not publish it so the end user can see what they are?

Are you listening URC?

Yeah that would be great. Just waiting for someone to stumble into these changes can cost us all money. but hey, they're listening. another post indicates a quasi- shortcut feature is back! Yeah man, we needed that. not sure how to do it yet but gonna try tomorrow.
