VIDIFOLD Revision Notes

A list of all the notes from all versions is provided below.

0.28.4

fixed seg fault when cloning a plugins only slot to workbench
moved slot menu button and introduced a separate slot eject button
removed library sync system, this was a bit fragile and wont play nice with new library options
- will add a simpler backup/sync option in the future, possibly based on some type of import/export
- prep work on ability to spread library across multiple disks/folders (hidden)

0.28.3

Color coded the driver panels to match slot
Fixed segfault when enabling APC
Improved qfx autoselect algo
Fixed crash when midi triggered aux slot
Some bug chasing in APC40 code
Increased fxstack hotslots to 4 (F9-F12)
Re-instated close button on plugins and moved menu to plugin sidebar
Updated pending slot speed changes
- on retrigger and if already playing and in toggle mode no longer preforms a retrigger
- or on next loop/bounce (not to be confused with next trigger position)
and as usual some theme tweaks

0.28.2

shrunk auxrack slightly to balance with new bus rack sizes and allow a little more room for driver panel development
now accepts webm video continers
brought patches and clips filter popups back into bottom panel area
fixed seg fault on workbench eject
corrected size of the selection outline on workbench slot
hopefully fix for poup windows stuck partially off screen when in portrait output mode

0.28.1

Fixed slot action menu, I'd accidentally remarked an extra line in code

0.28.0

quite a large change and update to GUI layout
split global hotcues into a/b bus versions
click on macro panel for running aux to access driver options
- might change how the aux rack select/trigger behavior later, but this was a good work around for a minor problem
shift + click bug was always starting clip, now on non-playing slot just selects
redesigned slot panel preview and transport controls
added local speed multiplication controls
