Stuck themes and slow ATVO
Hello again!
In the last year I have learned a lot about the theme editor and that has allowed me to create really useful and beautiful themes
But I'm running into a lot of problems when it comes to exporting and using my themes, and I feel that if I put too much information in the editor, the theme ends up getting stuck and not working.
An example would be a recent theme where I use dynamic images for the team logos in addition to some colored badges. The theme is functional, but I have had to limit many of its functions since otherwise it ended up getting stuck. I have a scene of a time tower consisting of 15 fixed pilots and 5 scrolling pilots, showing the distance to the leader. Well, if I duplicate this scene to create another exactly the same but that shows the distance with the car in front ... The theme crashes when loading and I cannot use it.
I would love to show total pit stops, career stints, positions won ... That is to say, create different scenes of the same tower and choose which one to show according to my convenience. But the reality is that I can't do it, because if I duplicate that scene just once, then the subject gets stuck.
I have no knowledge of what could be the reason for this happening. But I would say that it has to do with the dynamic images or with the tickers of the widget that make up the time tower.
PS: I taked into consideration an advice from a few months ago and I no longer load my images in full resolution (1920x1080). But I respect that if the Widget occupies 500x500, the image also, so I have also ruled out that this is another of the reasons

Not sure why copying a scene would cause it to crash or not load. But in general copying an entire scene just to change the data you want to show is overkill.
Have a look at the example theme: I make the same tickers (H and V ticker) show different kinds of information like gap, interval, pitstops, etc. I do that with some scripting instead of creating many copies of the same ticker.

I just chatted an eye! I will see if I am able to implement it in my theme, although I think it will be quite complicated for me.
I'm thinking... When you choose the data binding that you want to show in a label, you can select more than one ... How possible would it be to select all those that you would like to have and that there was a drop-down that would let you choose between all of them? In the end, it is the same that you told me with the commands, but in a more direct and simple way for people who do not know anything about script.
