Minor IR502 copy issue

Make sure that it shows up as a device in the Devices tab.

OK, I created a dummy TV/1103 device, and now I can create/edit DSMs. I guess I'll just have to see if I have to delete it in order for the builtin one to work, and then recreate it when if I want to create/edit another one. If I'm lucky the pseudo-device will work with the dummy TV/1103 in place.

I have no problem with that, it's just that 2 column heading is in the way a bit. Not all that important really.

Besides why use ExtCalc when that functionality is in IR.

Well, while I can build keymoves in IR as well as in ExtCalc, and while I can decode them one by one, ExtCalc offers me a whole picture instead. A dozen or more keymoves several weeks after coding them look totally confusing

.
Being able to get a 'system' overview is a convenience I treasure.
Further, ExtCalc permits to edit (find;replace), rearrange and import back to IR. While I haven't used that feature yet, it will come handy soon.

As I mentioned earlier, the workaround is simple, so no big deal

.

That's the whole reason we added the notes functionality. You can see all the keymoves in IR as well as the notes.

If you feel more comfortable with EC that's good to.

Paul,
I thought about it. I agree, in principle.
I suspect that how one uses the tools and which data is stable when, are a function of remote’s stage of development - already built to perfection vs under construction, amd whether one follows directions or not.
Thanks anyway

. I’m OK now.
