Overview Mode Settings Do Not Work in Different Languages

Symptom

Overview Mode settings in the Sequencer Configuration table do not work in different languages.

Affected Versions:

• Preactor 11.2 SP4 (and earlier)
• Preactor Express (release for 11.1) 

Cause

If the translated data in the system table does not match the internal translation then Preactor will not resolve the correct Overview Mode setting.

Solution

1. (For versions earlier than 11.3 only).  Add the OverviewModes string table to your table definition file (.prtdf file).  When the configuration is upgraded to 11.3 or later this string table will need to be removed.

STRING_TABLES

;

    OverviewModes:

    0, Custom:

    1, Fit:

    2, Full;

;

STRING_TABLES_END

2. Add a new field into the Sequencer Configuration table (defined in .prtdf file)

OverviewMode,-1,STRING,

    HIDDEN

    TABLE(OverviewModes)

    ADDITIONAL REFERENCE(Sequence Overview Mode):

3. Change the field argument in FIND RELATED DB VALUE statement for the /OM switch on any Sequencer menu options to point to the new field (defined in .prmdf file):

From:

"/OM:{FIND RELATED DB VALUE("Sequencer Configuration" "Number" "1" "Sequence Overview Mode")}"

To:

"/OM:{FIND RELATED DB VALUE("Sequencer Configuration" "Number" "1" "OverviewMode")}"
