Re: Flo Tools 2.3 is out

[Slau Halatyn]

Hi Martin,
The Read Me does certainly suggest that you only use the uninstaller if you're 
only planning to uninstall completely. Perhaps the uninstaller should remind 
people of that fact. Something to consider. OK, thanks,
Slau

Fwd: Flo Tools Installation Issue

[Martin (Punky) Sopart]

Hello all!

I fixed the issue.
The FloTools installers try to find a system voice that is not the same on my 
machine.
For testing only I set the system voice to the English „Tom“ and the installer 
finished successful.

So thanks for now! / Martin

Hi Martin,

Please do the following so I can troubleshoot your issue:

1. Open script editor, in the utilities folder of applications.
2. Press command O in script editor, and open the flo tools installer 
application.
3. You should see a text area labeled "script source." If you do, you’ve gotten 
to the right place. Scroll over with voiceover until you see a "log" checkbox. 
Check the checkbox, and press command R to run the script.
4. It should throw the same error you were getting before. If so, click OK, and 
then scroll over with VoiceOver again until you see script log. Please copy the 
log text and email it back to me.

Thanks so much, we’ll get this working for you :)

Rocco

Yes, I use KM8, but I test with KM7 as well. Both should work.

Re: Flo Tools 2.3 is out

[Martin (Punky) Sopart]

Hello Chi!

Thanks for answering.

When launching the 2.2 uninstaller HighSierra reported that I should move this 
app into the trash, because it is corrupted.
I did so and went over to the newer uninstaller of version 2.3.
Further I deleted all FloTools macro groups in the KM editor.

Do you also use the newest update of KM?

Best! / Martin

What's New in Flo Tools 2.3

As always, the Flo Tools Team has been thinking of ways to make your use of Pro 
Tools easier and more efficient. Often, these are simple things that make a 
huge difference. Flo Tools 2.3 introduces a few such features. In fact, they're 
so simple that besides  foregoing the mp3 demonstration, we even considered 
releasing the new version without a "What's New" and have our users discover 
the new features by surprise but then where's the fun in that? 

OK, so if you'd rather be surprised by the new features, feel free to skip the 
rest of these scintillating paragraphs and stumble across things on your own 
but, if you want a heads up on what to expect, read on.

1. You probably remember when Pro Tools users applauded the long-overdue 
built-in shortcuts for switching between playlists on selected tracks. Shift+up 
or down arrow is a great time-saver, to be sure. In Flo Tools 2.3, VoiceOver 
will now automatically speak the name of the newly selected playlist. If 
multiple tracks are selected and playlists change, VoiceOver will speak the 
name of each new playlist sequentially. Of course, you can always interrupt 
speech at any time with the Control key.

2. Along similar lines, Flo Tools 2.3 adds feedback for when the track 
selection changes. when using the Control+p or Control+semicolon shortcuts to 
move the track selection up or down, VoiceOver now automatically speaks the 
name of the newly selected track. Cool, no? Of course it is. You know what's 
even cooler? Well...

3. All of the cool kids know that holding down the Shift key while using 
Control+p or semicolon extends the selection through adjacent tracks. Well, now 
that VoiceOver speaks the newly selected tracks as the selection moves from 
track to track, when the selection is extended, VoiceOver now speaks the number 
of tracks being selected and says the name as they're being selected. Now, is 
that cool enough for you? Wait, it actually does get cooler...

4. Apparently there are kids who are even cooler than the aforementioned cool 
kids. These cooler kids are quite familiar with the Pro Tools shortcut for 
retracting a selection from the top or bottom of a group of selected tracks. 
Control+Option+p or semicolon respectively retracts the selection from the top 
or bottom of a series of selected tracks. If you're using Control+Option as the 
VoiceOver keys, remember to press Control+Option+Tab to pass through the 
shortcuts. Once passed through, when the selection is retracted, VoiceOver 
let's you know what's going on with the track selection. Now, that's just 
practically too cool. If anybody also feels that this is too cool, we might 
consider retracting the coolness. On second thought, never mind, we'll stick 
with the cool.

5. What isn't cool is how VoiceOver sometimes reports menu items by their 
current state rather than the state they've switched to after issuing the 
keyboard shortcut associated with the menu item. For example, Auto Input 
monitoring versus Input monitoring. When you select the menu item or use the 
Option+k shortcut, VoiceOver speaks the menu item that was showing before the 
item had changed. So, if you're monitoring the input and press Option+k to 
switch to Auto Input, VoiceOver says "Input" and vice versa when switching the 
other way. The behavior can be inconsistent from menu item to menu item which 
adds to the confusion. In fact, trying to explain the behavior can itself be 
confusing. Are you confused? We sure are. Where were we? Oh, yeah, Auto Input 
versus Input monitoring. Flo Tools 2.3 now takes this into account and has 
VoiceOver speak the actual status of the monitoring and correctly reports what 
is being heard when toggling back and forth between the two modes. Yay for 
clarity and consistency!

6. There are a few keyboard focus modes in Pro Tools that can sometimes be 
useful. They are: Commands Focus (or Timeline focus(, Clips List focus and 
Groups List Focus. The Pro Tools

What's New in Flo Tools 2.3

As always, the Flo Tools Team has been thinking of ways to make your use of Pro 
Tools easier and more efficient. Often, these are simple things that make a 
huge difference. Flo Tools 2.3 introduces a few such features. In fact, they're 
so simple that besides  foregoing the mp3 demonstration, we even considered 
releasing the new version without a "What's New" and have our users discover 
the new features by surprise but then where's the fun in that? 

OK, so if you'd rather be surprised by the new features, feel free to skip the 
rest of these scintillating paragraphs and stumble across things on your own 
but, if you want a heads up on what to expect, read on.

1. You probably remember when Pro Tools users applauded the long-overdue 
built-in shortcuts for switching between playlists on selected tracks. Shift+up 
or down arrow is a great time-saver, to be sure. In Flo Tools 2.3, VoiceOver 
will now automatically speak the name of the newly selected playlist. If 
multiple tracks are selected and playlists change, VoiceOver will speak the
