It comes to mind that maybe we're overlooking a possible option. Right now we have the option for a chain-to in our logs, we also have the ability to load up another log (either in the main log or in one of the AUX logs in RDAirplay).
What about an option to merge another log into the current log (kind of like how a copy / paste does)? The workflow would be something along these lines: You've got your broadcast day where: Mary is responsible for 2-3 pm, Joe is responsible for 3-4 pm Mary creates a 2 - 3 pm log, has full editing rights on it Joe creates a 3 - 4 pm log, has full editing rights on it. Neither Mary nor Joe touch the main daily broadcast log. In your main log for the day at 2:00 pm, instead of a Chain-To or a load log into the AUX log, there's a command to merge Merge Mary's Log. At 3:00 pm it merges Joe's log. This could potentially eliminate the confusion that could arise from using both your main and AUX logs. Of course, this would not solve the question of having multiple people editing the same log while live on-air (as in the example that James brought up). And I'm sure there are situations where something like this could/would break. Another question would be whether or not the main log was set to "save" after a "merge" (which I could see potentially causing problems too). But I can also see how a "merge" command could be useful. Just a thought. Lorne Tyndale _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
