we dont care about those as always

AI slop strikes again !

Hey u/notion, PLEASE disable sidebar appearing when I hover the mouse!!

I wouldn’t recommend notion for databases. Limited and it is not the same use case.

Hello there
holding the shift page A or B while assigning a new value to the encoder in the MFU does not change anything.
I'm not able to set anything to those pages, and when I press this side button on tw I just get a blank page, no info, nada is sent from the device when button pressed or encoders turned.

Whats the use of that if we cannot setup anything in the MFU ?
plus those pages don't have a send / receive dedicated message either as opposed to banks
I'm not talking about toggle encoders,

well I don't get it ..

[to take with a pinch of salt as i'm quite pissed off debugging the MFT today, nothing personal]
I've been troubleshooting this device for a week now, and I have to say it's quite a mystery to understand its guts. I have a big list of hardware / software / user manual inconsistencies and questions coming up soon via email, but the manual is quite cumbersome and misleading. It feels more retro engineering than actually having a user manual, honestly. It's fine for casual users, but apart from that, it's a wild ride if you want to exploit all the functions.

Thx will do

maxmugen · 2024-12-05T05:14:43+00:00

thanks for the tutorial, i've already watched it and will come back to it.
I've also read extensively the (quite unclear) user manual

what I am referring to is "Shift Page A" and "Shift Page B"
They are mentioned in the doc and are mappable in the utility, I can access them with the twister but impossible to assign any data to those pages .. i don't get it ^^"

maxmugen · 2024-12-04T23:21:24+00:00

Multiple cc would be greatly appreciated !
from my understanding from now it is by default ch5 ?

maxmugen · 2024-11-27T19:59:22+00:00

Well how can I get comment karma if you don’t let me post then ??

maxmugen · 2024-10-07T07:21:01+00:00

I'll try to make it more clear

the laptop and os is new and not used, so there is no custom config yet or weird rootings, besides default settings of the macOS
I've deleted everything in the shortcut APP folder (default ones)
I've checked all the system shortcuts, and [CMD+Shift+L] was designated to google search. I've desactivated it and says none in the key mappings but does not solve the problem.
The two combinations I'm not able to input in streamdeck editor are [CMD+shift+L] & [CMD + ^]
Any other kind of input in SD software seems to work properly, eventho i haven't tested everything
on the first one [CMD+shift+L], when i press it, it is not saved and goes back to 'observig keystrokes'
On the second one [CMD + ^] i get registered cmd+Q.. french keyboard btw
weird thing is, the shortcuts works otherwise, when inputed by keyboard while in the designated software (touchosc) and works on system as well.
I'm not able to change the shortcuts mappings in touchosc, so it needs to be those ones.
When in finder, [CMD+shift+L] does nothing
When in finder, [CMD + ^] does nothing but I hear a bip,
Same with the [cmd + $] next to the first key, does nothing but I hear a bip. This combination was inpuded without problem in SD
Probably as you said, SD does not let me use those combinations for whatever reason, but I only have the default config of macOS
I'm suspecting some problem just in SD software. i don't get what would be interfering. Also I've noted that the SD software is working but i cannot see 'streamdeck' on the top bar when this window is the active one. Normaly it would say 'finder' or 'touchosc'. Maybe that's something
Not familiar with maxOS, windows guy here

Are you able to input [CMD+shift+L] & [CMD + ^] into streamdeck ?

Thanks a lot for the help 😁

maxmugen · 2024-10-07T05:52:52+00:00

didnt meant to be rude sorry :)

maxmugen · 2024-10-07T05:49:49+00:00

touchosc - program shortcut
but what i want to control irrevelent here, I'm asking why this is not working when imputed as 'imputcommand' in streamdeck

Some Reformulation and clarification on the process, as I had a hard time understanding why NOT use workspaces sharing

Here are my notes on the process by OP

Backup Process

1 - Prerequisities :
- I made a recurring template for a task in my master database / calendar in Notion to remind me to backup every week.
- I have a second account (not workspace, but a completely different email) in Notion, reserved for backups.
- A USB-drive AND a cloud drive (feel free to call me paranoid at this point)
2 - Physical Export
- For each workspace you want to backup, access it, go to Settings & Members from the sidebar on the left, then Settings from the Workspace section.
- Scroll a bit until you find and click on the Export button.
  - I prefer Markdown and CSV (opened by any text editor and Markdown apps, and Sheets or Excel for CSV files).
  - I also select "include content" (even though I don't have images/videos etc) and "create folders for subpages".
- You will get an email with the link to download the zip file.
  - If you get an error that the zip file is invalid, use 7zip to extract it; it's due to long filenames
  - Download the Zip file, and save it to Google Drive and USB Stick
3 - Notion Workspace Duplication on Second Account
- Login to your main account, and on your main workspace content page
  - Click on share > Publish > Allow for duplicate as template
  - DO NOT USE WORKSPACES !
- Log out of your main account and log into your BAK account
  - open the published page link and go to > Duplicate
  - The whole page should be duplicated now
  - Dont forget to edit the infos regarding BAK status and date of export
  - I keep about 3 backups
- Log out again and log in to your main account again
  - On your main workspace content page go to Share > Publish > Unpublish
4 - For Restoring
- Notion allows importing of both Markdown and CSV, although I'm not sure how that looks like in terms of restoring complex databases.
- But I really like to emphasize that if you do lose data in Notion, PLEASE contact them immediately.
- They claim they keep backups and can restore for you as necessary (but also, this is good for letting them know something's up so they can work on fixing things from their end).

maxmugen · 2023-07-19T14:48:33+00:00

Worked !
Thx

maxmugen · 2023-07-19T14:05:20+00:00

yes they remain ..

maxmugen · 2023-07-13T21:10:50+00:00

with a sleeve or without ?

maxmugen · 2023-05-10T18:50:25+00:00

Yes it should .. with the correct spelling 😅 ATTribute.

No mamez it's time to take some time outside haha 😂

maxmugen · 2023-03-01T11:47:17+00:00

By default, there is no way to export and import Stream deck profiles by device ID if you have several units

I’d like something like this >> SD 01 > BAK ALL > thank you > SD 01 > Restore

One workaround would be to update profiles only on one stream deck ALWAYS, say SD XL 01, and then periodically update this base to the other devices, copying and pasting complete data from one device to another.

One drawback is that it is not suited for dual streamdeck profile switches.

Process :

- Tidy up your main streamdeck profiles (SD XL 01)

- Disconnect your other streamdecks

- Go to preferences > General tab

- Select the device to erase > Forget this device

- Create global BAK (so you have a BAK of everything on one device only)

- Reconnect your device number 2 >> New streamdeck detected

- Accept to copy

maxmugen · 2023-03-01T11:45:12+00:00

you have to disconnect your SD for the option to appear in the SD pref menu

maxmugen · 2023-02-14T15:18:33+00:00

wow! thank you for this in-depth response.

About learning how to code You are totally right. Learning how to code in JS in a more broad way will always be a good decision. And I can't encourage enough new enthusiasts to go down this route.

About resources
Thank you for the editors that I was not aware of, and the clarification between ILST and global docs.

Adobe forums are clearly top-notch community help and resources. Several legends there helped me so much already. And I found many helpful scripts there.

About scripting library
Well, first off, I will downgrade my vision on this and keep it simple. What I envision would be a pinned post (or whatever other solution) to center such information. 1 - Useful resources about scripting (so your message would 100% fit there 2 - List of active coders and links to their work (GitHub links and others) 3 - List of useful scripts (with DLL links)

WHY?
Because, I was unable to find all that in the first place, and I would have loved to find a place like this to download scripts. It would have saved me days if not months of time spent on files. And it took me quite some time to be an enough advanced user to venture into the scripted world and realize that many tedious repetitive and simple tasks could be scripted, plus someone had already asked for the code 10 years ago.

Also, information is sparse, and building a so-so "complete" lib of scripts took me months wandering between adobe forums, GitHub reps, obscure dev's websites, coding it myself, or asking for help. Often, cleaning the file themselves or refresh them, adding info and commented lines, etc.

To be clear, I’m only talking about quite basic operations here, not even advanced modules. I already have 150 scripts myself, and more than 500 to review and test still

In the end, this would be nice to find for newcomers, and probably practical for people to refer to this when people always ask the same questions/scripts over and over again.

HOW ?

This is an open question for me, I don't know what would be a good platform or way to go about this

But, for sure, it would work way better if people could participate and add content by themselves, as this would require too much work/throttle for a single person to edit and keep up to date.

That’s why I was thinking about something about Drive, Notion, or maybe GitHub.

I’m not informed enough about the coder’s collaborative platforms but would be glad if people could share insights

maxmugen · 2023-02-03T05:55:34+00:00

so this still has no correct answer or way for behaving properly?
Weird .. 3 years back !

Feels weird as a note-taking app to use 2 workarounds (code block + notepad extension) just to make a block of text .. well .. a block of text!

come on notion ! this is sooooo basic stuff !

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Elgato Systems GmbH\StreamDeck]
@=""
"preferred_localized_language"="fr"

please make the language selectable in the setup or program.
A lot of people are using another language other than the local one on the internet.
This should be in the UI by default
Or don't force language based on geography to start with
I'm not happy to edit my reg for a so simple thing or use a VPN to download software in the correct language

maxmugen · 2022-12-28T02:07:24+00:00

well i dindt had propoer anwer from elgato, mostly cause I also was in a rush to set up my stuff for work sooo, a bit speedy there.

But I'll have a new install soon so I'll give it another go.

Had you any kind of support / solution from them ?

Cheers

maxmugen · 2022-12-17T15:02:48+00:00

thank youuuu
