I don't think the SAVE AS is all that difficult. This is a lot easier than dealing with the individual ICT files that you need to open one at a time, or the summary where you have to import them. Graham has really made great changes to IRScope, it was VERY DIFFICULT to get useful information out of IRScope before. It didn't decode on import, didn't have a timings summary, didn't have an option to change the output folder, didn't do imorts of UEI, Pronto Hex, ........... He has really made this into a cool tool even if you don't have a widget.

I'm just saying that (a), IR Scope shouldn't be merging buttons together, so that's something that needs to be looked at and (b) while selecting all and then doing a Save Selected isn't that difficult, it isn't that intuitive either, as evidenced by the fact that Alan didn't know how to do it, and user "a038537" didn't know how to do it here: http://answers.slingbox.com/message/10094#10094

Yes there are so many features in there, that lots of things are not inutitive.

I had been looking at the data, I pulled the data in,and stacked the frames in this CSV file. But I have a couple of frames that I prefaced with ?? that make me think I did something wrong, because the frames don't look right.

There is. Look at the File menu. There is a "Save All As" item, or Ctrl+W (there are too many Save options for them all to have sensible shorthand, and Ctrl+A is in use as Select All).

Sorry, my mistake, I was still using version 2.01 beta4, I just downloaded 2.01 and I see it now. I don't use shortcuts much, but my vote would be to use CNTL+S for the "Save All As" option as that is the standard shortcut for Save.

I was a beta behind. I didn't have this option before.

Actually I selected them all and then used "Save All As"

I was being silly, too. There IS a "Save All As" button (so you don't need to bother with the shortcut). It is below the Capture button.

I saw that once I fired up the new version, and I like it. But I still think that the shortcut should be CNTL+S, just in case there are people that use that shortcut a lot. I'd hate to see them save a single button where they thought they'd be saving everything.
