Greetings!
Not sure if this is an Aeon v3 bug, or if my .aeon file (converted from Aeon v2) is glitched so v3 doesn’t behave properly. I’m using v3.4.23 and shell 3.4.23. I also deleted the existing constraints (set long ago in v2) and remade them in v3, but weirdness persists.
First, I have a celestial event with start and stop times locked (that is the Event is locked in Aeon). The start of this event is 8:22pm.
I have a story scene that I want to end 2 minutes after the start of the celestial event. So I’ve set a constraint on the end of this story event: “End equals start of ‘Celestial Event’ +2 minutes”.
I scroll up to the start and stop times, and duration. I think 45 minutes duration is a touch shy, so I change it to 50 minutes. The end time changes, even though it is constrained. IMO because the end is constrained (tied to the celestial event) the start time should change.
Aeon shows the red danger icon and invites me to fix time by adjusting this event, adjusting the celestial event (which fails because it’s locked), or to remove the constraint. When I tell Aeon to adjust this event it moves the start time back 5 minutes, which leaves the duration to what I set, and corrects the end time to match the constraint. Exactly what it should have done in the first place.
Is this correct behavior for Aeon v3?
Also, Aeon attaches a complementary constraint to my celestial event. IMO this is wrong. I am constraining the story scene, not the celestial event. Constraints should be one way. This one-way constraint has nothing to do with the nature of the event, or that I’ve locked it, but that I did not set a constraint on the celestial event.
Again, is this some residue of an .aeon file converted from v2 to v3, or is Aeon v3 supposed to act this way?
Thanks a million.
