8. OTE Regarding Auto Backup The Auto Backup function has been disabled in 1 3 8 6 due to the possibility of show file corruption if a user initiated backup occurs at the same time as an auto backup Due to the severity of this problem we have opted to disable the auto backup for this version In the upcoming v1 4 0 software we have restructured major file systems to ensure this will no longer occur and allow us to re enable the auto backup feature Any current shows with the auto backup enabled will retain this setting when loaded into the v1 4 0 software We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause users however we feel it is better to disable this function than to have users continue to risk show file corruption New Change Page Macros CP and CP will change to the next page or previous page following the order in the page directory These commands are similar to the Next Page button and ignore the template page and blank pages 1 3 8 5 build 857 New Flash Key Option A new option for flash keys has been added Assert was previously only available for other playback buttons but is now available for the flash key The action is the same as with normal playback buttons off cmy1 cmy2 cmy3 rgb1 rgb2 rgb3 solarize 4 dotp colour cycle all or none solid rgb inverted rgb i rgb to gbr circle ripple asym ripple chroma fine chroma medium chroma coarse inv chroma fine inv chroma medium circle sine y
