Command line Switching Zone while in Mini View problem
« on: January 06, 2015, 07:56:49 am »

Hello,

I have been running the following two command lines to switch zones while MC is in Mini view:
mc20.exe /mcc 10011, 0   
mc20.exe /mcc 10011, -1

It does not switch the zone if it is in Mini View.
If it is in Standard View the zone is being switched.

For me the zone changes as expected if I'm in Mini View:
mc20.exe /mcc 10011, -1

Tips?

Hello Matt,

Thanks for your fast reply. I guess that I need some tips from you to solve this problem. I am running MC 20.0.47 and this behavior is consistent every time I issue the switch zone command (I opened a DOS command window and typed MC20.exe" /mcc 10011,-1). It just does not switch when it is in Mini View. In Standard view it always switches.
I have just tried now on another computer with MC 19 and it is behaving the same.

Thanks

We've tried two machines here and they both switch no problem in Mini View using:
mc20.exe /mcc 10011, -1

Are you using some non-standard Mini View?

I have the standard Mini View Noire Glass skin. My two computers are running Windows 7 x64. How is that possible that it does not run on both my two computers with MC 19 and 20 and it runs fine on your computers?

I tried MC 20 on a Windows 7 x64 Virtual Machine and it behaves the same as on my two real computers, it does not switch while on Mini View. Is it possible that I did not set up properly the new second zone that I added just in order to test it. Is there some fundamental zone settings that  need to be setup?

Thanks

Apparently the command line does work BUT there is a bug... if you are in Mini View and issue the command, if you look at "Playing Now" the focus for the zone that is physically being switched does not change at all. This is why I said that the command does not work. If you issue the command while on Standard View the focus does change.
