Anthony, are you ragging on me?

All I can say is this CCF is killer, each button has an in-use status, the layout is perfect!

Daniel, if you are reading this can you let us know if you are available for custom work on this CCF, at an hourly fee of course.

For example, you have Canadian TV station icons on here, I would need some of them replaced and do not want to disrupt the look and feel of the CCF, in other words I don't want to be able to tell between your wonderful work and my lame attempt to modify :)

Anthony, yes I will stop asking where the CCF is :)

Does anyone fancy coverting Daniel's new CCF to B&W?

Or as a more general question, is there an easy way to demote a pronto pro ccf to a normal pronto ccf.
Would you just lose the outer two hard buttons.

Will the new RCEdit thing do this?

Sorry if these things have been covered recently.

Also in the blurb for ProntoEdit it says that you can disable the Macro and device menus, but I can't see where or how. Can someone give me a clue.

Thanks,
Bruce.

Daniel,
Thanks for posting your CCF. I had started to build my own, but have no graphic arts experience so it was proving to be a difficult task.

Nice job on the buttons gallery! You've included alot of general purpose buttons that aren't even in your own CCF.

I'm sending a donation to your Paypal account. I hope others will do the same.

Steve

Well, I see "Santa" Tonks gave all us good boys and girls a wonderful Christmas present. Two big thumbs up to Daniel. However, it never fails, sometimes even the best little boys and girls open their presents only to find that they're broken. I guess that would be me. I've tried to open Daniel's ccf in RCEdit only to get the infamous windows message that "RCEdit has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down". WAA!!! and I was such a good boy this year.

So here's the details -- every other pro ccf in the files area (all 27) open just fine in RCEDit. Even Daniel's gallery opens fine as a ccf. This leads me to believe a reinstall of RCEdit is not the solution. I did download the Daniels zip file twice -- both times same result. I suppose I could download ProEdit just to get a look, but short of that -- anybody got any ideas. Honest I've been good. Daniel???

Not an answer to your question but what is RCEdit and why would I want that over ProntoEdit?

RCEdit is the Marantz version for the 5000, 5200 and 9200 remotes. Jim, don't feel to bad I get a memory addressing exception trying the same thing on Windows 2k and RCEdit. My guess is that RCEdit can't handle some of the "fun" tricks Daniel has within his CCF. Guess I need to install Pronto edit to take a look at it.

Seems to be a bug in RCEdit -- it has trouble loading the Galaxy game. If you remove 20 or so panels from it, the file will load fine. The Galaxy section by itself also causes the problem. Since ProntoProEdit works, I'd guess it's just a bug. Remember, the RC9200 section (and thus ProntoPro CCF importing) isn't fully functional yet.

Yes just do a "save as" and then pick the version you want

Would you just lose the outer two hard buttons.

I don't remember what happens to the two buttons, but the editing program is not the best at converting icons.

Maybe you should remove the buttons yourself when using ProntoEdit, on each screen. then try the conversion. This was the software is not trying to make a determination of what to do with those control points.

The extra buttons just get dropped during conversion.

Using a save as to downgrade to b&w does not seem to do the best conversion (dithering).
Does anyone know of a batch conversion program that I could use to convert the colour images to grayscale for the RC5000i.
Also when will the compiler be able to fully support the pronto-pro file types.
Should I be able to decompile the colour file, batch convert the images, then recompile the new b&w file?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Bruce.
