Learning from Daniel Tonks' PCF, I came across this:

"Home1-System ON" has a link to "Power - [System Power1] - System On". You would expect control to return to the originating page.

But then, in "Power - [System Power1] - System On", its action list has a few links of its own and finishes with a jump to a different page. Using the simulator, I know this jump takes precedence and therefore overrides the expected return to the originating page containing the link.

In my good old days of programing, jumping out of a loop (DO, Perform or whatever the IN word is now) usually had some disastrous results especially if the logic later reintered this same loop.

Question-1: are there any side effects doing this, such as memory leaks in the Pronto itself?

Question-2: Daniel, why not push up the jump to "Television - Page1" after the link in "Home1-System ON" ?

Question-3: Daniel, I expected the "Home2" page to let the user navigate through all subsequent menus but without firing any IR. It seems that both "Home1" and "Home2" jump to link to pages or buttons that eventually send IR. What did I miss?

1) No.

2) This was done that way for efficiency - I always want the "System On" macro to go to TV, so I only created the macro once and just link to it from other places. On the old Pronto, page jumps on linked buttons were not sent, but on the NG they're designed to.

3) The only way to do that would be to create a whole duplicate version of the remote with no IR codes on any of the buttons. My file is already pushing the usable limits of the 3000, so I didn't want to do that. Home2 and Devices1B are only there to allow me to switch devices on the remote without sending the power/input commands attached to that device.

If I do a color version of my file I'll probably be changing how the top bar looks and works, it's the only thing I'm not totally happy about.

Daniel,

I hope I'm not stretching things, but would you agree to make your original Corel art work on your TSU3000 v1'02.pcf available?

As many others, I've designed mine around your GUI design, but often I find that I need to change, for example the text on one of your bitmap buttons: pretty crazy to do on the end result bitmap.

I currently have Corel and PhotoPaint 9.

Hi Daniel

Are you going to do a colour version? - I've done a colour version of your layout that I'm really happy with but as you have mentioned, I'm also weighing up some options on the top bar of the home page. I wondered what you thought needed improving?
