[Cannot resize Mac app]

I ran int the problem with the ellipses disappearing off the screen when in Regular mode with my MacBook Air. I got to it by connecting to a monitor, but others might not have that option.  You might want to make that accessible through the system menu.

I use an $8 IR repeater for my setup. It just works.

 

 

[Macro on Activity Buttons]

It IS technically possible, it's just we only have so many developer hours a day. :)

That's easy, just hire more programmers it would improve your turn around time mythically :-).

Anyway, thanks for adding it to the list. I look forward to the changes. Now if you can just create a hub I can drop my aging Harmony.

[Macro on Activity Buttons]

Is there a technical reason why the activity buttons can't be used with macros? It seems, to me, more friendly to tell my partner that, to watch TV, "press the A button" instead of "press the A button, then press this other button".

Can I program the power button by pressing the power button? If I follow your example, I press the A button, then pressed the Power Button to turn everything on, can that then re-program the Power Button to turn everything off on the next press? Or do I need to have a different button to turn every thing on? Though now that I look at it, does the Skip1 keep track of the power states of the devices?

I hope you change your mind with macros on the activities because it really does make the remote more intuitive to use. I've used two remotes to control my entertainment center (in the last 20 years), the first the RadioShack RS2117 (with some JP1 modding); and then the Harmony Companion/Hub. Having the macro on the Activity button made it a much easier user experience. People just picked up the remote, pressed one button, and were watching TV.

Hi,

I'm playing with the skip1 remote software, and one thing I can't seem to do is program the activity buttons with a macro. My workflow with my current remote is to:

1. Press an activity button: turn on everything (either by discrete power commands, or toggle) related to that activity, switch to the appropriate inputs, and set the remote to the activity. This allows me to pick up the remote and jump right to an activity.
2. Press the power button: Switch everything to my default activity (e.g. watch tv), and then turn off everything in the entertainment center, either by discrete or power toggle commands. This allows me to set the entertainment center back to a default state (in my case, the Apple TV, where we spend 95% of my time).

Hopefully that makes sense. Is this possible with the skip1?

Thanks,

Ben
