It's "cuepoint", not "queuepoint", unless we have to line up - kattefjaes - 03-06-2023
Hi,
This one is very low priority as it doesn't harm performance at all, it's a spelling/homophone bug
I noticed in at least one place (I think the Project screen, but there could be more), it talks about "live queuepoints". This is wrong and drives me nuts whever I see it.
A "queue" in English is an ordered line, think of a FIFO. A "cue" is a prompt or timing marker. An easy trick is to remember old tape decks with "cue" and "review" over fast forward and rewind keys. Yes, I know, English is a confusing mess, it's full of traps like that. As a native speaker, I can only apologise- a lot of my more careless compatriots also make the same mistake.

..if you'd like chapter and verse.
I haven't bothered with screenshots, as I suspect that'd be insulting your intelligence, but if they'd actually be helpful, please let me know. This feels like a really weird bug report, but it is probably the first thing I actually dislike about Nerdseq, which is generally a beautifully-engineered device.

Ah hahaha...
You don't know, but this is old news. If you could see what I see (V1.28) then they are no 'queue' points anymore :-)
I am just a german who tries to do english stuff :-)

And to be more precise: Fixed since January 12th

Oh, I could swear that I am on 1.28, too. I will go and check, and if I am not, I shall update and glory in it. And then come back here and admit it so you can point and laugh
I know you're "just a german" - this is why I feel like I should apologise for what a complete hack job English is, it's worse than perl!

If you are, then you probably hacked my computer or so since it is not released yet (and will not very soon since there is still much to do for it)

Ah ok. 1.27c it is indeed.
Well, thanks in advance for the fix, that's perfect. Whenever I see the mistake now, rather than being annoyed, I shall just look forward to the new firmware
