0.35.0

Rework hot cue rack - had a lot of work put into this but rarely used as was too differcult and complex when live
- too keep its base use case
-- converted all aux patches into separate auxfx items (and re-numbered)
-- kept 1 line of aux rack purely for output (new interface item)
-- same as if used setup with, solo|out settings
-- ended up keeping the PRE/POST option
-- switch it to use global KU, and removed mute,fade options
-- removed macros, drivers and patches for these
-- can still just copy/clone these to edit via drag/drop into any slot (this was always allowed)
-- and added banks to replace projects for these (if any, but not editable yet)
-- removed auxpatch creation options
-- new auxfx slots are persistent between application restarts, like the default startup auxpatch was
- and the required DB schema migration/update

Trimmed HotCues for Buses from 4 to 2
- only really useful if not using midi, and they can be dubbed with tape loops anyway

Increased workbench preview/access area
- this is a really useful thing, that gets overlooked (needs a tutorial vid)

Plugin bender params can now update their display label

Added main menu to replace config-tools tab area
- removed config-tools tab and moved the couple of buttons to main menu
- added import media to this menu

Fixed a global pause bug, could get stuck in paused mode, only saw this recently while rewiring.
Fixed old issue with library filter/paging buttons where they sometimes needed 2 clicks

Updated plugins
Zoom

New Plugins
Trapezoid - might be useful for simple projection mapping

Oops, and another debug line was left in (can tell I haven't needed to released in a while)
