1G05 is up

Hey all, I have just posted a new build; grab it via the "check for update" function! Here's what's new: - Altered zooming behaviour: by default, zoom now affects the whole song (behaving more like a conventional zoom control); pressing Shift will zoom the current/selected bars only (as in previous builds). - The pattern editor now adjusts its number of rows according to the groups defined in the active drum kit. - Fixed a bug in multi-track exporting that caused silence in all tracks (broken in 1G04). - Fixed a bug that could cause loss of audio data when re-saving a drum kit file created with a very old version of Doggiebox (1.2 or earlier). - Fixed a long-standing cosmetic bug by which the inspector window would creep up the screen by 30 pixels on every launch. - Improved general drawing performance in the pattern editor. Also can be downloaded manually from <http://www.doggiebox.com/ distribution/Doggiebox-1G05.zip> There is still weirdness that manifests when changing drum kits; I'm going to try and start smoothing this out next. -ben -- Ben Kennedy (chief magician) zygoat creative technical services http://www.zygoat.ca

1G04 posted, now with automatic updates

Hey all, Grab the latest build: <http://www.doggiebox.com/distribution/ Doggiebox-1G04.zip> This version features a new automatic update-checking mechanism (powered by the popular Sparkle framework). This means that from now on, updating to the latest build should be effortless and without the hassle of having to manually download and expand a zip file each time! On the second launch or so, you will be asked whether to include anonymous system profile information when looking for updates. This is optional, but would be helpful if you chose to do so, since it will help me gauge what sort of platforms are running Doggiebox (e.g. Mac OS versions, hardware, etc.) as well as what preferences options and program features people are using. These statistics will help guide future development decisions. Also in this build is an attempt at improved user experience for playback, with the insertion point and playhead position now unified. Rather than always starting at the top, playback now begins at the insertion point, and the insertion point is set where playback is stopped. Finally, the drum kit list has moved from the song document window into the inspector, along with minor cosmetic changes to the song document window and some main menu commands (part of an on-going overhaul of the UI). -ben -- Ben Kennedy (chief magician) zygoat creative technical services http://www.zygoat.ca

Latest beta

I got the beta the other day and just fired it up. I don't know if anyone has reported this, but when you load the demo song and resize the window, the playlist obliterates the play controls in the lower right hand corner. dave
