Post by blackdot »

I did it that way so the playlist wouldn't start if someone didn't want it to (like if they were at their venue and the computer was already connected to the projector, but the show hadn't started yet).

There is an option to start auto-advance automatically in Window > Magic Window Options, but it is a global preference (not per-project), and it is only enabled when Start In Fullscreen is also enabled. This is what I call "kiosk" mode which enables you to just turn on your computer, and have Magic start running -- for example, if you put a .magic project in your Startup folder.

Can you elaborate on the use case for saving auto-advance with the project? It would be easy to implement; I just want to understand more about it.
