Yes it is possible that it could happen. I'll see if I can improve that in the next update. Thanks for the report.

cheers,

Another feature request:

Can you add tally-light buttons without switch functionality?
They should be brighten up when a specific input is in the program window.

I have added a border to a group virtual PTZ presets that becomes red when that particular camera is on air.
This is to prevent from changing the position of that camera.

I have done that with a big 'program' button set as background.
But sometimes that button is accidentally activated when pressing on the edge of a camera preset.

So I would like replace it by a 'passive' or 'only read' button with working tally function.

I hope I'm clear. :)

+1 for the 'passive' buttons feature.

I have created a lot of L.E.D. style buttons as 'program indication only' buttons (I do everything with transitions).
Would really like it if they were passive.

Two color tally is also a very good idea.
Green when an input is in preview and red when in program. (like a Blackmagic Design ATEM switcher)

Thanks in advance!

Is a 'passive' button option easy to intergrade (or 'read only')?

Update 3.0.18 for vMix22 (this will be the final update for compatibility with vMix22). Going forward, only versions 4.0.x compatible with vMix23 will be updated.

https://cli.re/vMix-Panel-Builder-3.0.18

- fixed InfoBox sometimes disappearing when Panel Builder set to “Always on top”
- InfoBox now remains in place when changing canvas size
- added “Passive" checkbox to allow buttons to show tally but no command is sent
- added "Multi-Page" feature (up to 6 pages) select the number of pages to display in preferences
- "Launch External" command can now launch windows batch files
- fixed “MissingIcons” popup where it would sometimes hide behind buttons.


Version 4.0.3 for vMix23 (Versions 4.0.x are designed for vMix23 and will not work with earlier versions of vMix)

https://cli.re/vMix-Panel-Builder-4.0.3

- includes the above features and the following:
- added "Mix" features for new Mini-mixer
- added AudioBus shortcuts for new audio buses
- added SetBusXVolume shortcuts
- added BusXAudio shortcuts

Thanks for the reply Ronald555.

You shouldn't be getting the missing Icons message if they are all there. When you get the "User Icons missing" message, what file type are the ones missing (png, jpg, jpeg) ? That might give me a clue.. I can't seem to duplicate it.

V4.0.3 will trigger the commands on vMix22 but it might not tally properly.

For renaming the Page buttons, you need to hit enter after renaming it. If you click on the canvas, it won't renamed.

I have the same issue when restarting PB.
Many times it will not load the icons, but, if I reopen the project they seem to work fine.

Thanks for the newest version. This is the only major issue I have found so far.

When I start the new version I don't get the message, but the user icons are missing.
When I reload the config file it's OK, but after restarting they are missing again.
All the icons are present in the default usericons folder.


Tried PB on another much faster computer, but I've got the same issue.


Maybe it will help to build in a delay of a few seconds before loading the panel. (because performing an 'open last' within a few seconds does fix it)



(btw If I run PB on a second monitor and that monitor is disconnect, PB wil not appear on the primary monitor, not even after a computer restart)

New user here - thanks for the very useful utility!

We're on the Windows version and have bumped into a few bugs and unexpected behaviors:

1. vMix inputs with a + in the name are not working from VMPB. You need to replace the + in the input name with %2b when passing it to vMix via HTTP. I would use an & in my input names instead, but vMix itself doesn't display ampersands (treats them as shortcuts per windows API and they get replaced with underscores).

2. In edit mode, if you click on save as read only, the password dialog box opens but is being treated like a new part of the layout (surrounded by a dotted line and inoperative). Also, the buttons on that dialog are completely blacked out (text unreadable) in either mode. The background on my layout is solid black if that has any bearing.

3. Element locking (padlock button in upper left) not persisted through restart. This may be intended, but persistence would be helpful in preventing mishaps.

4. Custom background color setting in prefs not saving (always comes up as black plastic after restart). It is saving to the prefs file, but when VMPB starts up it overwrites it back to black plastic.

And one feature request: It would be preferable to have a way to password lock panels to prevent modification / editing by operators. The panel can still be a controller, but will not go into edit mode without a password. Or you could make this a general preference requiring a password to edit any open panel. Just would like something to keep tinkering / accidental fingers out of the panel setups.
