Release Notes Published

  • Added limited support for reading WebP Animation.
  • Show audio-clips without album art as a checkboard for transparent instead of white.
  • Added the GPS Graphic video filter (see its presets).
  • Added the gopro2gpx utility to let you export a GPX file from a GoPro video using Properties > menu > Export GPX. This saves the .gpx in the same folder as the video file with the same name but different exension.
  • Added Fisheye video filter (see its presets).
  • Added snapping to the playhead to Keyframes.
  • Added Help > Actions and Shortcuts:
    • Provides a unified action search and shortcut editor.
    • Replaces the old Keyboard Shortcuts... item in the Help menu and takes its keyboard shortcut <kbd>?</kbd>.
    • <kbd>/</kbd> is also a default shortcut, and either shortcut can be changed.
    • Searches both action name and shortcut.
    • Press <kbd>Return</kbd>/<kbd>Enter</kbd> within search to move focus to the list of actions.
    • Press <kbd>Return</kbd>/<kbd>Enter</kbd> on a selected action to trigger it and close the dialog.
    • <kbd>Shift</kbd>, <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>, or <kbd>Alt</kbd> + <kbd>Return</kbd>/<kbd>Enter</kbd> on a selected action to trigger it and NOT close the dialog.
    • Double-click an action to trigger it but NOT close the dialog.
    • The dialog is not modal so you can leave it open and to the side while working.
    • Press <kbd>Esc</kbd> when the dialog has focus to close it.
    • Press <kbd>F2</kbd> when an action is selected to edit its first shortcut.
    • Single-click a selected shortcut to enter edit mouse using the mouse. This means you typically need two single clicks: one to select, the second to enter into edit mode.
    • You can <kbd>Tab</kbd> out of edit mode to navigate focus to the apply button and press <kbd>Space</kbd> to trigger the apply. It is intentional that you cannot assign <kbd>Tab</kbd> as a keyboard shortcut to an action.
    • There are some keyboard buttons such as J/K/L that are reserved and cannot be used in a shortcut. You will see an error message when you try to apply it.
    • You can define up to 2 shortcuts per action! You may want to leave the default as well as add your preferred shortcut.
    • A big portion of the UI had to be rewritten to support this. As a result:
    • All panel (hamburger) menus are consistently on the left/first.
    • Panel-specific Options sub-menus were moved to Settings main menu.
    • The keyboard shortcut to switch the player between Source and Project is now <kbd>P</kbd>.
    • Various hidden or under-exposed actions now have a menu item somewhere including a new Player main menu.
    • Many translations will be lost.
    • The default shortcuts to change the current track now require <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd> in addition to cursor up and down.
  • Improved support for custom video transitions:
    • There is a folder now in the App Data Directory named transitions where you can store these.
    • All files in the transitions folder are listed in transition Properties, the Mask: From File video filter, and the Slideshow Generator dialog.
    • Added a favorite button in transition Properties and Mask: From File that copies your chosen custom file to the transitions folder.
    • Added a quick preview to transition properties.
  • Added the ability to drag-scroll/pan using the middle mouse button (press mouse wheel) to Timeline, Keyframes, and the player when zoomed in.
  • Improved the Filters picker:
    • Added translatable keywords to facilitate search. For example, "transform" includes Size, Position & Rotate.
    • Added the English filter name in an untranslatable manner to the keywords so people using a translation can more more easily find things based on proliferic English advice.
    • Added support for a small animated icon.
  • Added the alpha Operation, Reverse, and Invert parameters to the Mask: Draw video filter.
  • Added Settings > Reset... to reset all settings including hidden ones.
  • Fixed Move Track Up or Move Track Down breaks the order of blending/compositing.
  • Fixed opening files with a % in their path or name.
  • Fixed sometimes a date does not appear in Playlist.
