Accepting, or deciding for yourself
A proposal waits for you. You can accept it, at any scope from one frame to the whole card, or decide the frame yourself and the proposal is gone. Read this page when you are ready to act on a mark.
Deciding for yourself
Press T, H or R on a proposed frame and your decision stands. The mark goes, and nothing is proposed about the frame while it stays decided. Clear it with U, or take the decision back with ⌘Z, and the frame is undecided again and can be proposed about again. When your key goes against a live proposal, the library records what the app had said beside your decision. A Hold is a decision like any other: the frame is yours, and its proposal goes.
The app keeps proposing as you decide. The burst and look-alike rules react to a Take at once, and your taste takes in each decision straight away, or within a second when you are deciding quickly. Whatever either proposes next is appended to the end of the pass you are walking, and your cursor stays where it was.
Accepting one frame
↩on the frame you are looking at, when it is in no stack, confirms that frame's own proposal — a lean, or a floor's Reject — as one decision. On a frame that is in a stack,↩opens the stack instead, so a lean inside a burst is answered withT,HorR.⌘↩in Single writes whatever is proposed on the one frame you are on, a lean included. The frame's pill then reads Take · accepted or Reject · accepted, drawn solid, when that frame is on screen: with auto-advance on, the default, you have already moved to the next frame, as after any decision, so the pill is on the frame you left and shows when you come back to it. Compare with no proposed pair on screen does the same for the frame on the left.
What ⌘↩ accepts follows the screen you are looking at, not the view you came from. In Frames it accepts a group (below); in Compare with a proposed pair on screen it accepts the pair (below); press G from Single and it is already the Frames one. View ▸ Accept proposals is the same action. Where ↩ and ⌘↩ act on the one frame in front of you, auto-advance moves you to the next frame exactly as → would.
Accepting a group, a session or a stack
- A group heading's Accept, the button at the end of a heading in Frames, writes what the measured rules proposed among the cells under that heading, and nothing else.
⌘↩in Frames writes the measured proposals of every frame filed under the same import group as the frame with the orange ring, and moves you nowhere.- A session card's Accept stands where Resolve gap would on a plain gap, for a session with no Take that the app has proposed one for. It writes that session's proposed takes and nothing else; the card's target still counts decisions only.
- In the Stack Resolver, the proposed best carries its mark and its reasons.
↩accepts the stack as proposed while there is something to accept; after that it closes the resolver. Choosing an alternate yourself is a plain decision, and at one take per burst it fills the burst's place: the take the app had proposed loses its mark, and only if Propose the rest of a burst for the bin is on are the other undecided frames proposed for the bin. With it off, your taste may lean on the frames the burst rule no longer speaks for.
⌘↩ in Frames works on the frame's import group, not on the heading above it, though the heading's Accept wears the same key. Vixlo draws the headings from the grouping chosen on Frames and never writes them to the frames, so a heading and the import group can differ, and nothing on screen shows the import group. To accept what a heading shows, click its Accept.
A heading's marks and its Accept count only the cells drawn under it. With similar frames stacked, each stack is one cell, so a proposal on a frame folded inside a stack is neither counted nor written: a burst's proposed take when it is not the cover, say. Open the stack and accept it in the Stack Resolver, or set the Frames header to stacks expanded, before you rely on a heading.
A proposed pair in Compare
When the two frames on screen in Compare are a proposed pair, ↩ or ⌘↩ accepts the pair as proposed, ⇧↩ keeps the other one instead, and H or ⇧H holds both. A proposed pair in Compare has the keys, when they are live and how to leave Compare.
Accepting a pass or the whole card
- Beside the open proposal chip on the views line: Take all 9, or Reject all 7 · to the bin. It writes the proposals the pass still shows, leans included. When the pass holds bets, Confirm 2 bets beside it writes those bets and nothing else. Each leaves you in the pass.
- Confirm bets (
⇧⌘↩, the criteria pane's button, or View ▸ Confirm bets) writes every bet on the card, whichever pass you are in, and nothing weaker. - Accept all (
⌥⌘↩, the criteria pane's button, or View ▸ Accept all proposals) writes what the measured rules proposed across the whole card, and no bet or lean.
The number on Take all and Reject all counts every frame in the pass, and a pass keeps the frames you decide while you are in it. Once you have decided some, the button is larger than what it writes: a frame you have rejected yourself in Proposed takes is counted in Take all 9 and is not turned into a Take. The proposal chip's count is of the frames still proposed, and the message afterwards says how many were written.
A large Accept asks first; see Before and after an Accept.
What a wide Accept leaves alone
- Nothing on the look-at-these list is ever accepted, at any size. A look asks for nothing, so there is nothing to accept.
- A lean. A group heading's Accept,
⌘↩in Frames, a session card's Accept, the Stack Resolver, a pair's↩and⌘↩and Accept all write what the measured rules proposed and leave every frame your taste leaned on undecided. So a session whose only proposed take is a lean still reads as a gap on its card, and a heading whose only proposals are leans still shows an Accept, which answers Nothing to accept here.
A lean is written only by a gesture about it: ↩ on the frame, ⌘↩ in Single, or Take all and Reject all beside an open proposal pass, which write the proposals that pass still shows, leans included, because you opened that pass to answer it.
