Order of mode selectors keeps changing (without touching them). Doesnt make sense to me...

Another thing: i setup a mode for mixer controls. track 1 for vol, pan channel 1, track 2 the same for 2 and so forth. After that i have a very stramge behaviour happening. first fader changes volume on track 1,4,5,6,7,8. track 2 working as supposed. all the rest not at all.all settings checked multiple times..

This is true. This have been two month since i couldnt use the app. I saw that there was un update, so maybe things are better now! But yea, me too i came across various issues, that are sometimes difficult to reproduce. Some time you just close and re-open the app and everything works normally, but you cant see where the problem came from. This can be very little issues that pops from nowhere, and then dissapear forever.

Dont get me wrong, i strongly believe in this application and its power, Giving the opportunity to create MIDI scripts without learning python so more people could acces to this kind of flexibility into ableton is really a great thing. And the app is already doing an amazing job at it + it is really freaking intuitive to use it (if you dont take account of the issues faced in the process) as the layout is pretty well designed, and the tutorials videos that are given to the community are great and straight forward.

Even if its a small community, we can feel that remotify is alive and avolving by receiving a pretty constant support, and i think this the most important point.

But for now, adding the fact that the app is pretty expensive at its full price, i think it should be at least more advertised that at this state of development, the user could still face differents issues/bugs with the program. If im not mistaken i believe this is the reason you are giving a "30 Day Money Back Guarantee" right? But still..

Anyway, i wish the best for this app and hope that one day there will be a definitive solid build of it, so more people could step into it and enjoy what the amazing potential it have to offer!

Long live to remotify ;)

I´ve noticed that the copy function causes many problems like everything doubles in a mode (you selsect one and the double is also marked btw), or you copy the exact same thing but suddenly it generates a script error. Also if you want to avoid e.g. "Device1 copy copy copy copy copy" and start renaming also causes script errors.

But the copy function is of course crucial, so maybe you start working on that.

rebbarth: we have been working on some fixes for the duplicate button which should fix the issue of it selecting the double (and then breaking). This will be in the next update, We will test the device issue you mentioned too.

Mathematics30: thanks for your thoughts, viva remotify ;p

Unfortunately the copy button still messes up the script. I have to not use it. Maybe you guys figure it out on a later update.thx

example: i copy a mode, nothing happens, only if i close and open view it shows up. But also 2 parameters move out of a mode where they belong somewhere totally else...

I cant even get this to display correctly, it loads up after login and the menus are all messed up and barely accessible.

Sorry for late response, I will check further, I am running an external display.
no other applications have issues with display.
I have never had an application do anything that bad.

Ok I figured it out.
I have 2 graphics cards. I had to run in on the better one. This is on Dell 7580 if anyone else has this issue. All good now.

Thanks for updating, weird that you would need anything 'better' to run the app correctly.
The visual stuff is as basic as your average web page in a browser, maybe something else is going on with the other graphics card?

Hello. Just chiming in that I had some pretty glitchy behaviour yesterday in the latest version of CSS. A whole part of the tree duplicated, some items disappeared from the tree, undo would do even weirder things and start deleting things.

Luckily I had exported a JSON file half an hour earlier, as the software auto-saves broken tree. Eek.

Let me know if I can help in some way to debug. Happy to help. If it happens again I'll try and get some reproducible steps...

Thanks for reporting, this does sound very odd. We will investigate.

I have the same issue as #20. The bug should be around dragging and dropping to rearrange things. After several drag and drops, deleting or adding things ended up doing those action to a completely wrong item. After the JSON get into that state and you save it you probably have to start over because the bug carry over in the file. Probably the ID system in the file is too brittle, make an auto linter that tidy up ID / check consistency on each save might be helpful.
