Features

Process View

VidiControl brings now the possibility to display processes triggered by the user or related to selected timeline items. Details can be found here for the Booking Dialog: Area: Create a Booking and for the Dock area: Area: Notifications & Messages

List View

Beside several minor improvements, two new controls were introduced to hide Bookings and Booking Definitions. This provides a better overview. Details can be found under Area: List View.

Booking Dialog

The Booking Dialog was improved to provide a better support for Keyboard-only operation. It is now very much easier and comfortable to navigate around the Booking Dialog with keyboard only, using [Tab] and [Shift]-[Tab] keys. Also, selected Fields can directly be overwritten without the need to select and delete the current content first.

Crash Record Improvements

We introduced a new way to start crash records: Simply click on the Source Lane Header holding [Shift] key pressed to start a new crash recording. See Create a Crash Recording for details.

In addition, the time until recording starts has been optimized.

Start Now Behavior

The behavior of the “Start Now” option is now configurable. A distinction can now be made between two operation methods: Whether the entire recording is moved on the timeline without adjusting the length (the original end time is also moved) or whether only the start time is moved, so that the original end time remains, extending the duration of the recording. To configure, adjust the “StartNowKeepEnd” config value, see Config Values.

Title Generator

A preview option was added to the Title Template Configuration. See Title Templates for details.
