Hey y'all,
I'm in the process of deleting all of my Gmail accounts in an attempt to get away from Google services and stop using them for good. This means that the email you've used in the past to send me feedback from the program (midinousinfo[at]gmail[dot]com) is going away forever. The nice part is that I own the midinous.com domain name and I now have a fully functional mail server.
The new address is: [email protected]
If you need to reach me, you can use that address.
Also a note, because I do see some people using the feedback forms as if I could respond, which I'm unable to (unless you include some information for me to return your message), the feedback form is a one-way line to me, which means I can't respond to you but I can see what you sent. There are also multiple types of feedback you can send. The drop-down that says "Comment" by default allows you to pick from "Suggestion" and "Bug" as well. If you choose "Bug", then the feedback form will send your logs to me along with your message, which will help me diagnose your issue. Thankfully, other than the reported crash when pushing the copy/paste properties buttons in certain circumstances, the bug reports from 1.1.6.8 have been pretty light.
1.1.7.0 is on the horizon and I have finished fixing the bugs I've found. Here is a preview of what's fixed:
- Fixed a crash when trying to save a file with a '?' in it. '?' will now be converted to '_' if entered in the filename.
- Fixed a crash when trying to copy or paste properties without a point being selected. Oops!
- Fixed the issue of WAY too many autosaves being made. There should only ever be 12, not 12 per project!
- The Logic Point color picker is now just like the other color pickers in the program. However this may break some saves. You will have to reconfigure the color to come from the point itself instead of the "Send Color" special color option. In my opinion this is much clearer to the user where colors are coming from.
- Fixed an issue where using MIDI input at the same time as the note and octave selector in Point properties would not be setting properties correctly
- Fixed an issue when copying and pasting points and properties -- color values would not carry over.
- Fixed an annoyance with text input into spin buttons. The field will now accept both a '0' and a '.' as the first character typed.
And here are the new features you can look forward to:
- A new MIDI port (Midinous Thru Port) will now take the input from whatever MIDI device you are using and send it out on this port. So if you are using a keyboard, the keyboard's MIDI will be mirrored on this port.
- Theme chooser! Open the theme chooser from the appearance options menu and choose a theme to open, or save your current one. I have included a few themes for you to pick from.
- Separate autosave area: To reach your autosaves now, in the event of a crash, in the Open dialog, press the "Autosaves" button next to "Presets"
- There is now a set palette of preset colors you can choose from in the various color pickers in the program
The next time you hear from me, hopefully 1.1.7.0 will be in your hands! If you want to help beta test 1.1.7.0 before release, be sure to join the Discord.
See you soon, keep creating, and much love,
Jae
