"ignore column trigger if empty" layer option

[Fischmaster3000]

title basically says it all. it would be amazing to have a layer option to ignore column triggers if theres no clip in it. so if you run for instance a background loop and switch items on top of it, you dont want to start the background loop everytime from zero if you trigger the column


edit: the background loop would start from zero every time because i have to put the background loop in every column so it wont get deleted. but thats not nice

Surely that’s what setting the Layer to ignore column trigger does?

I like this.... and it should be default as well


and no its not the same as complete ignore collum trigger...

no because I want that it only ignores column triggers if the clip is empty. it should trigger the clip if theres one.

I think your edit makes more sense to me now.

I do the same, duplicating background layers across columns where very occasionally it might need to transition to something else. I set the playback to “continue” so that even though it moves to the new column it maintains the play head position.
