Started fooling around with the new Beta. Nice changes. Can't seem select drums, though. I can command-click and get the default drum, but can't seem to click in the editor to add a different drum. Am I missing something? -Drew On Jan 30, 2004, at 3:57 PM, Ben Kennedy wrote:
Hi all,
I figured it's about time to let you get your hands on what will become the next release of Doggiebox. Things are still evolving, but a bunch of the under-the-hood reworking which was holding things up is now at the point where things are usable again. Here are the notes:
• Mac OS X 10.2.x is now required, and 10.3.x is recommended.
• The file format for both .dbsong and .dbkit has changed since 1.0.x. Files saved in this and later versions of Doggiebox will NOT be usable by Doggiebox 1.0.x. (However, the new file format has been devised to afford greater backward-compatibility from this point on.)
• A much-awaited, new and improved section-and-layout song structuring model makes its debut. Hopefully its behaviour is (or will become) fairly self-explanatory, so no extensive notes are provided this time around. See if you can figure it out, and please provide feedback.
• The song editor window has been redesigned for better usability: a) the drum kit drawer has been moved into the main window and is much larger; b) the song name, details and kit are no longer accessed via a separate dialog sheet.
• There are some minor bugs and incomplete features in this build which will be addressed shortly, including, but probably not limited to: a) inconsistent Undo behaviour for some actions; b) lack of ability to re- arrange song sections by dragging them in the lists.
Grab it here: <http://www.doggiebox.com/beta/Doggiebox-1B1.zip>
Please report any feedback, including bug reports, usability notes and improvement suggetions, either here to the list or directly to me.
Have a good weekend all,
