Topic: Cue points have been changed when changing from virtualdj 8 to 2023
Dear all,
I'm a person with cerebral palsy who has used version 8 for years and just changed to version 2023. The hotcues have automatically changed which is frightening me. So, for example the hotcue I originally put as 5 in version 8 has been formatted as 'hotcue 2. in the new virtualdj 2023. I'm praying that there is a way to set the hotcues back like how they were in virtualdj 8. I'm panicking at the moment as I've been dj'ing for years
Hope someone could help me

please expand, is the issue setting or calling?
the script
hot_cue
will go to the default/selected cue

there is likely a solution, I just need more info.

Possibly from Option: autoSortCues accidentally set to YES ?

I was previously using Virtualdj 8 and had cues arranged in certain way for many songs and with the latest update (Virtualdj2020) I lost my cues how they were previously laid out. I've discovered that there is a way of rearranging the cues by right clicking the POL editer and changing the cue order. However this would take me months and months to do for each song. I'm praying that you could suggest a solution of retrieving the cue order of all my songs like how they were in virtualdj 8.

Another question how do I unlock/lock my cues. I can't find the button in this latest version unlike virtualdj 8 where there was a feasting tucked away in the right hand side of the cuees.
Really hope you can help because I'm stuck

If the order of cues has changed then unless you had a back up then the info is lost/

lock_cues is a script use it anywhere a custom button works well and is visual when locked

When I try canging the cues in the editor it doesn't modify for some reason. Any reason why? In some songs the bar says there are cues but they don't appeal on the display. Any clue why? Is there something wrong with my database?

Thank-you. No worries. It looks like the cuepoints are in some kind of lock mode from virtualdj 8. How do I unlock/lock in virtualdj 2023?

Locodog already mentioned how to do that:

and it would look like, this in a custom button:


one should be created for each deck, and will be highlighted when the loaded track has it's cues locked.
Just click the button to unlock or lock that track's hotcues.

either from the hotcue menu dot of the Hotcue padpage, or maybe easier it find, in settings > options: cueDisplay
