Computers are very good at counting, Capture is still a bit shy to admit it can.
Could we add some counting magic to Capture?
- How many fixtures in a selection
- How many objects in a selection
- How many objects in a group
- How many dmx addresses in a selection
- How many objects on a layer
- How much weight in a selection
This is all usefull information to make available at a glance. Maybe in a statusbar, maybe in selected items, maybe in a new to be created info-window.
A few usecases would be:
- I quickly want to scan how many dmx addresses a group of fixture need, so I can think about a way to distribute them over the universes.
- I want to see how many seats in a certain section of the audience (bad sighlines)
- I want to see the amount of fixtures used (without having to open a plot to look at the legend)
- I want to see if the maximum weith is exceeded on a truss.
