So I started working on a full template when the last pronto contest was being held, and since I dont use prontos and probably will never spec or sell one, I decided to take those 12 hours of custom designs with all custom animations and format all of it for the T4/K4 since they have the same screen resolution @ 640x480 and accept all the same graphic formats....

Heres the issue, I am creating such advanced & intense animations that I am driving myself nuts organizing all the pages for the animations.....

Just so you have an idea what Im talking about, the animations range anywhere from 5 - 30 page flips per animation, and there are around 10-15 unique animations, thats a lot of pages.....

Anyone else have issues with the layout of the pages, as now I am naming them like this "Home_Ani1", "Home_Ani2", "Cab_Ani1" and so on......

The template is coming out amazing and I just want an easier way to adjust all the work I have done, because adding animation's in the beginning or the end of the page list is very time consuming, since all macros must match the layout....

I really hope this issue gets addressed in the next software release, PLEASE.... A lot of the time I would like to do kewl things with animations and page layouts and this ONE issue constantly keeps me from toying around!

I had to get that out........ Last night I spent hours working on this file with newer graphics and buttons.... It's just really annoying!

If you merge pages TTD keeps track of the pagelinks, and adjust as necessary.
I can sort of relate, sort of. On a large multizone project I decided to use multiple pages to reflect zone and source selection from several K4's. After it was done there were about 35 pages just for the selection process, and one massive macro, that had to be slightly different, for each keypad. I haven't used it again on any new projects yet, just because of the time it took to make changes.
HEY RTI, how about some dynamic page options? ;)
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

We are screaming about getting us 2 way remotes
