[v6 General Discussion] Usability Observations

Below is a short list of usability observations we have made since going live with EW6 about 4 weeks ago.

Song vs Slide Transition - There was a way to have different transition timings between on song to the next and verse to verse. This is missed as there are times we would like to have slower transition when going from song to song, but need a faster timing between the verses.

Color Coded Verse and Chorus etc Tags - The lack of the old color coded tags makes it difficult to quickly find the verses and choruses in a song like in previous versions. This can be frustrating when the worship leader likes to jump around sometimes and we have to read the slide name instead of look for a color.

Option for text only without graphic - Have seen where this is coming back along with the preview screen. Very much missed now and needed.

When a verse covers more than one slide, use descriptive slide name instead of slide#, gets confusing - Is there a way to have the slide names be more descriptive when a verse is split over more than one slide. Current;y is verse 1 is too long and is split to cover 2 slides, the first slide is labeled as Verse 1 and the next slide is labeled Slide 2. This makes no sense, it should read something like Verse 1 then Verse 1b.

Double click in live pane to turn off clear - Old versions allowed us to double click the verse to bring the text back from Clear.

Saving a schedule takes too long - Why does the save button take so long to save the schedule. We like to save every time we make a change, but if we have to save during a service, this can create a problem as we can do nothing until saving is finished.

Thanks

Slide transition set in Inspector -> Slide -> Transition.

Color-coded tags coming back in undisclosed future release.

EWSX (schedule) file is basically a ZIP file containing all media used in schedule so they can be hundreds of megabytes in size.

You can edit the song and change the label form slide 2 to anything you want it to be such as verse 1a etc.
