Tool Tips
When enabled each individual control will produce a helpful popup describing its purpose. Due to it sometimes interfering with mouse clicks, it is recommended that this feature be disabled once you feel comfortable with all aspects of the program.
Anytime you choose to replace an asset's thumbnail image by using the "Replace thumbnail with PGM screenshot" feature, the captured image is stored in the “Thumbnails” folder located in the app’s root folder. The default path is C:\IEW Solutions\Legion II\Thumbnails. After an event concludes and these images are no longer needed, it is recommended that you use this feature to remove them all and save drive space.
One of the program’s key features is its ability to easily connect to another workstation and use it as a backup that will mimic the primary. If you wish to setup for this scenario select the appropriate role for each of the two workstations
Start Delay:
If workstation is designated to be the backup, you can choose to delay the start of play in sceconds. This can be handy when you prefer to stager play times between a primary and its backup. The default is 0.
NOTE: As long as the link between the two are enabled all transport commands and edits performed on the primary will instantly occur on the backup as well. Also, if an asset file is added to the primary playlist but does not exist on the backup, a copy of the file will automatically be transferred to the backup for you.
Establishing a default asset folder is mandatory. To make transferring event files to other storage mediums or computers easier, all assets will be automatically copied into this folder even when resourcing files from other drives and/or folders.
NOTE: Files are copied leaving the original file intact at its source. To prevent excessive use of available drive space on your system it is recommended that you manually add needed event assets directly to the event folder and prevent the system from having to create wasteful copies.
Every new asset added needs to know what audio output to use. In most cases you will probably use the same output. This where you can choose which will be the go-to default.
Default Program Audio Device:
If the app is newly installed or any previous selection has become unavailable, the system will revert to the standard audio output devices that has been set in Windows. However, clicking will reveal the list of all currently enabled audio playback devices found on the local computer. If desired, select the one that you wish to be used instead.
NOTE: If any change to the default audio settings has occurred, you will be prompted to choose whether you want to automaticly apply the change to all current playlist assets. Doing this will initiate a reloading of the playlist.
