v0.7.0 – Mesmerizing
So with this build I really wanted to fix a lot of issues with the Media Layer and its lags, delays and bugs, so I completely reworked this layer and optimized it quite a bit. Additionally I fixed several of the annoying bugs that have been pestering me and probably others. Lastly 2 new effects were added, Ripple and Mesmerize.
Oh also a cache button was added, but use it with care, it will load the entire contents of the folder into cache and this can lock up your machine if it contains lots of files or large files. I will figure out a way to make this less problematic in future builds, but I wanted to add in something that made it smoother to play images and videos.
Change Log:
- New Cache toggle added to media layers
- Space now toggles Preview mode rather than requiring you to hold it
- While the Layer Manager is open the other UI buttons are now hidden
- Added a new Ripple Effect for Hypno Enthusiasts
- Added a new Mesmerize Effect for Hypno Enthusiasts
- When loading files in media layers, no longer show a white screen
- Complete re-code of the media layer to clean up and greatly optimize it. It should now allow faster image cycling as well
- Adjusted the cycle time ranges to 0.1 second – 30 seconds
- Changed how cycling effects the effects system to ensure it doesn’t reset each cycle
- The app should now close properly when you click the X or press alt + F4
- Fixed bugs with layers not cycling images or getting frozen
- Fixed bugs with hot keys interrupting typing in Text layers and Text Promps
- Fixed bugs with the up, down, left and right arrow keys not working with loaded save files
- Changed the “Warning” message color for notifications to a yellow color (from white)
- Pressing space no longer interacts with the UI elements as it was causing it to turn off a layer when you want to preview it
