I created a new AddIn today, after watching the brilliant YouTube videos suggested here.

This Addin, Undimmer, marches through your sequence and will change cells that have an intensity below a threshold value to fully off, and those above to fully On.

Why on earth would someone want to commit such a heinous act? Well, my (newbie, whimpy) equipment does not support dimming, and I wanted it right out of there as to stop teasing me with its awesomeness. That and I'm OCD and I was manually removing it...

Anyhoo, it's offered free to anyone interested. I've attached it to this post, but here is a link to the file on my website just in case: http://halloween.tittivillus.com/vixen/Undimmer.zip.

Let me know what you think!

Pretty cool...
I did notice that it is also an output plugin. Is this for some other functionality or is it just for testing. The only reason I ask it that I'm pretty sure if you remove the plugin fuctionality the addin will also work in Vixen 2.5.

That's because I used the same project file while following along with your tutorial, Chris. Not that you said to do that, I was just being lazy!

Nice! Been there!
The good news is if you want to get it to work for Vixen 2.5 also all you have to do is remove the plugin classes.

...and, thanks for the compliment in the first post...I didn't realize you were using the tutorials.

In your plugin tutorial, you expressed frustration about your output window not always floating to the top. I use Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, and there is a property on the Form object called "TopMost". If you set that to true, then the window always floats over Vixen, even after losing focus.

In one of the last sections of the tutorial I do a "Revisited" section with the solution to this...thanks for the input though.
