How to control the Stream Deck device with the showModal action

@dario.ramaglia let's get you on board with all the regular commands for the Stream Deck first.

It can be a little tricky to get this script working right now - @Fokke knows all about that, he might also be able to help.

Once you wanna get started, you'll need to download the SF-SD plugin anew from here:
https://forum.soundflow.org/-492/220-preview-19

You should uninstall your current SF-SD plugin first.

Hey Steve.

I mean, can you actually change what an individual button does and what it looks like based on what window you have open in Cubase?

As Christian says, it's more advanced, and right now it doesn't make sense, because Stream Deck only works properly with the showModal function, which blocks SF for other inputs.

I've attached a script for you to check. It basically sets my stream deck with a couple of buttens. As it came from an earlier thing I did with stream deck, it's made with icons, so if you wanna try it I've attached the icons.
Basically what you do is put the key command for your export mix down as a trigger for the script. The idea is to have some pre-configured settings. I'm selection specific outputs and if it should be marker export or not with the different keys, so I don't have to think when exporting.
If I would write the script today I would probably just have made it with colors coded for the stream deck, rather then icons.

    var cubendo = app.title.value;
}
else {
    cubendo = 'Cubase'
    version = '10'
}
