I have a project I'm working on and I need to hide some dials in a .cr2 that aren't necessary. How would I go about doing that?

Thanks a bunch :o)

I know there is a way but I don't know how to do it.  I believe you have to edit the cr2, probably using, uh, CR2 Edit or some such.

That said, I was advised against it by billy-home, who says hiding dials can cause all kinds of problems if you try to use the figure in other apps.

Simplest solution would be to keep them but disable 'em. 

edit the cr2 and change hidden 0 to hidden 1 on any parameter dial you want to hide.

this is what a parameter section looks like

        valueParm PBMAreolaSize
            {
            name AreolaSize
            initValue 0
            hidden 0        <<<<<<<< change this

Thanks markschum :o).

Is it a script to show the scale dials, far to often they are hidden then they might be useful for adjusting.

There are a number of scripts to hide and unhide dials.  

Cr2 editor will also do it, but i find wordpad and search to be faster

Yup, markschum's instructions were very simple, I found the parts I needed right away with Notgepad++ and didn't need to spend any money ;o). Oh, and it worked too...lol.

Thanks again Mark!

Daz had, years ago, a tool for free, called DialCleaner V0.95. It was free but obviously no longer available :(
