I have a working VSD file for an ALCO 251 engine. The engine wave files consist of a start file, a stop file, an idle file and 8 run/accel/decel files. My set up is idle, run1, run2, ... run7 (each 12 steps apart). As you can see there are 8 notches starting with idle. I¡¯m left without using run8.??And my first notch is really an idle one (steps 1 to 12).
Question is can I add a ninth notch or can I somehow insert the idle.wav before the first notch?? I've also thought about "crushing" the first notch to say step 1 to step 2 then 12 steps apart for the remaining 7 notches.? This still leaves out run8.wav and some movement at idle.
I see <idle-notch>1</idle-notch> but don¡¯t know it¡¯s purpose. Is this an insertion location?
Bty, this ALCO V16 251 4 stroke diesel really has a distinctive sound.

Since the thread was moving Roster from OLD Computer A? to? NEW Computer B, that is what was covered using tools provided by JMRI. Now if you want the whole nine yards to be transferred, that is another matter and there are no automated tools within JMRI to permit/assist in this.? I could go into " HOW TOO :, but there are several variables in Windows and user knowledge required that an error can render it all as crap. You must have an idea of what you are doing and if you had, you would not be asking HOW TOO..? Something as simple as a Locobuffer-USB on computer A is on COM2. but on computer B it is on COM5, throws a wrench in it. As an example/test,? I took my C:\Users\XxXxXxXx\JMRI from my Win7 computer and moved/copied it over to my WIn10 system.? 1 - On Computer B Rename C:\Users\XxXxXxXx\JMRI to? C:\Users\XxXxXxXx\JMRI_backup for safe keeping. 2 - On computer A, Copy? C:\Users\XxXxXxXx\JMRI? to memory key/thumb driver/media 3 - Move media from Comp A over to COMP B, copy C:\Users\XxXxXxXx\JMRI ? to COMP B C:\Users\XxXxXxXx\ Certain profiles did not start (COM port mis-match) Wifi did not work (change of IP address)? Roster was intact. Nothing else of note. Marc .?

Re: Dispatcher Problems
After I run each dispatch I get lots of untitled empty frames left behind, one for every time I call dispatcher which can be a large number if I have a repeat loop.. I think the frame is the AutoTrains window at least I think it was the one the %speed on it. It is now 2 cm by 0.5 cm and has?
I have tried setting some variables to none. The problem disappeared at one stage but has re-appeared.
Some of the commands called are as follows:
R = RunTransit()
??????? R.runDispatch(EnterBlockStr, ExitBlockStr, Transit, TrainName, DCCAddress, TrainType, AutomaticRunning, ????SpeedFactor, MaxSpeed, RampRate, ResistanceWheels, RunReverse, SoundDecoder, MaxTrainLength )
??????? #R = None? (this solved the problem at one stage by some fluke but does not now)
**
In ?Class RunTransit the following are called
DF = self.getDispatcherFrame()
Where
def getDispatcherFrame(self):
????? return jmri.InstanceManager.getDefault(jmri.jmrit.dispatcher.DispatcherFrame)
*
at = DF.createActiveTrain (Transit, TrainName, TSource, StartBlock,
??????????????? StartBlockSeq, EndBlock, EndBlockSeq,
??????????????? AutoRun, DccAddress, int(Priority), False, False,
??????????????? True, DF,3)
aat = jmri.jmrit.dispatcher.AutoActiveTrain(at)
**
DF.getAutoTrainsFrame().addAutoActiveTrain(aat)
at.setTerminateWhenDone(True)????
DF.allocateNewActiveTrain(at)
DF.newTrainDone(at)
**
Is there anything I can call to close the empty frame (which I presume is the AutoTrainsFrame) when the dispatch is completed

Re: Mac Catalina and error connecting to WiThrottle
Bob,
Here is what I just did:
1) downloaded installer via the Google drive and installed the JMRI as directed
2) clicked on DecoderPro, PanelPro, and SoundPro - none of them opened
3) reinstalled V4.16. DecoderPro opened normally and every pulldown menu works except any choice under "DecoderPro". Once I click on any of those, the same fatal error message pops up and I have to "Force Quit" to get out of DecoderPro
I am OK for now as I do not have to change any settings and very rarely use WiThrottle. I'll monitor any changes and let me know if you want me to try anything else.
Thanks loads to you guys for working on this.

Re: Mac Catalina and error connecting to WiThrottle
Could you try this installer please: It needs to have the JMRI folder dragged to the Applications folder; moving the JMRI folder to Desktop, Documents or Downloads doesn¡¯t work yet.

Re: Fw: Subject: Downloading current roster to new computer
There is an Export/Import the full Roster and there is a Export/Import individual Roster Entries.? Individual entries just takes longer.
If it was me I would
1 - first Export the FEW roster entries of the NEW computer to SAVE them for Import.
2 -Then I would Export the FULL Roster from the OLD computer? and Import it to the NEW computer.
3 - Finally I would Import the saved roster entries from step #1.
The Import Full Roster is not blind overwrite, it opens a dialog box? were you confirm intention.
1 -? "Cancel Import " is obvious
2 - "Skip " is cancel the Import of the listed roster entry. listed by ID field/file name.
3 - "Ok" is start the import of listed roster entry
4 - "Accept All" is obvious.
The dialog box will also tell you if it is going to overwrite an existing entry. by the ID field (which is the file name of the roster entry).
How can you have roster entries on OLD and NEW computer with same date ?? If you do, you've got to stop and migrate and not work on both computers at same time. You are just? adding to possible conflicts by doing this.
Maybe others do it different.

Re: Fw: Subject: Downloading current roster to new computer
Hi Marc
Related question, slightly different context.? What if the 'new
computer' already has a few locos in the roster, and they overlap
the ones being imported?? What is the outcome - dialog per conflict,
blind overwrite, auto-selection by date(what date?),
or?
Just asking, because I'm about to set up a new computer, and knowing
me, I'll get around to migrating the old roster after I've set up a
few new acquisitions.
If no answer is forthcoming, I'll try to remember to update this
thread with the answer when I've committed the crime.
Regards
Blair

1 - Open decoderPro on old computer.
2 - Select ' FILE ' , then? ' Export Complete Roster? '
3 -? New window? point to the save location of your choice and
provide a NAME for the file. You can use the DATE as a file name
(ex:10192019).
4 - The file is saved.
On the New Host computer,
1 - Open DecoderPro
2 - Select ' FILE ' then ' Import Complete Roster '
3 - New window, point to your saved file location and select the
'Savefilename' you used, Open.
4 - ' Accept? All '
5 - Roster is now Imported into new computer

Hey Bill, There were some JMRI changes that require a new syntax. Try this:

Re: Remote panels connecting to Web Service display turnout states but will not control them
Gerald, thanks for sharing the panel file.
I loaded 4.17.4 on my demo server and loaded your panel file. In? 77.0.3865.120 on Windows 10, clicking on turnout circles does cause the change to be sent as expected and the response received, resulting in new turnout position in the web panel and the JMRI panel. So I'm not seeing the behavior you see.
?
Please try using one of your Android browsers to access your panel from my demo server, such as??and advise results. This may help narrow down the problem, as I'm not sure what's up.

John:
The single largest issue with XP now is a lot of it's parts, like Explorer, can be an issue...
The advice on where you need to be and might be able to get to with JMRI... it's version and the Java needed to run it is good.
Where you might have a problem is will XP let you download the Java version or JMRI version needed. Do you have access to another machine with newer Windows (or a Mac) that would let you download the offline version of Java and then "sneaker net" it onto the laptop via a USB stick?
If so then I think we can get you up to date.
