Muli-line function line not waiting for previous

Help & Support
1

According to the manual "Internal commands always run synchronously - Opus will always wait for an internal command in a function to finish before moving on to the next instruction.".
So I expected my command:

Go CURRENT NEW=nodual
Prefs STYLE Video

to open a new lister to the current lister location, then set the style named video on that lister.
Line 1 does indeed open the new lister and make it active.
However, line 2 sets the style on the original lister that was open (has my button on it to run this command).

I thought perhaps I could add some sort of 'wait' command but there isn't one.
Have I misunderstood the manual? Is there another way I can open the new lister with this style?

Incidentally, I created a new lister layout with the correct style assigned. If I open that lister manually it does open with the specified style as saved. But if I run the command Go CURRENT LAYOUT=VideoLayout, it opens a new lister and my Styles toolbar has the Video style button highlighted however the style is not actually applied. I must press the style button again to actually get it applied - but this is an aside :slight_smile:

It's not a matter of timing but that the command(s) run after the new window is created are still bound to old window.

If you make the new window the Source, it seems to fix the button:

Go CURRENT NEW=nodual,source Prefs STYLE="Video"

Once again, you're the man leo. That simple addition fixed it. Thanks heaps.
