Starting "number" for selections?

Cool..... that would cure alot of numbering sequence issues that I've seen asked about. Including ones as odd as my project, then I could actually make a skin "look" like it should and still assign the numbering sequence to it.

Hey Chris, just curious if you've messed around with idea much yet.
(being able to assign addresses to individual grids/strips)

No, but I plan to look at it soon. It means ripping out and replacing a lot of code, but it'll be worth the effort, I think. Right now the code to convert inputs to an internal integer index, and to convert integer indexes to displayable selection numbers is probbly some of the ugliest code I have, with all sorts of special cases. This is the price of flexibility; I can't make any assumptions because so much of the input method can be tinkered with. If I restricted all input to, say, a 10-key numeric pad it would all be simple.
What I'll need to do in the future is skip converting input to an integer; I'll just worry about converting input into display, and then build a lookup table to determine the proper address.

Time for an annual bump..... :laugh2:
I was toying around with a skin to match my jukebox title strip layout and thought this concept would still be a good idea for those that want to revive an old jukebox like I have been working on. And make it function with the original title strip layout. It's totally workable now. (as long as you never change a song in the list) But this would help create a visual skin to go along with any particular jukebox while setting it up and assigning songs to title strips, etc.
Anyways.... any update on being able to address individual title strips?
(or whatever it is that needs done to do this)

Nothing yet.. I need to get 3.1.5 out, which is close.. then I can start doing some of these things that require major rewites that will probably result in 3.2 at the minimum or possibly even 4.0.
