Hi Everyone
This weeks update is sparse of features but includes some good optimisation and some more bug fixes. If this update goes well I will be releasing it as the default build and then start work the next generation of features. So what has been done?
- Fixed Save/Load selecting on menu open.
- Fixed large number of drives and the scrollbar getting in the way.
- I’ve worked on increasing tracking fps in playback and the menu and managed to improve it by a third. This won’t affect fps of videos but hopefully will improve tracking for people having issues with that.
To start using the betas (and if you want the latest features and bug fixes it's recommend as I'm quite active in beta releases) all you have to do is right click on Whirligig, go to properties, go to the beta tab as select whirligig_early_access_latest_beta. This beta is always updated with every version. If you just want to try this beta only select whirligig_early_access_v.3.92. If you want to stop using the betas select 'none'.
So that's it for this week. I really hope to start working on new features in the next updates including mappable keyboard, Vive and touch controllers.
Again if you like the player please leave some nice reviews and spread the word about Whirligig. I try to work with the community as best I can to help to continue development of the player and provide a good product for anyone who wishes to try it. I want to continue to do this in the foreseeable future and your support is vital in making that happen :)
If you have issues let me know, especially with this update as this is the one that will get pushed out to everyone if it goes well. I'm always open to suggestions in improving the player further as well so let me know how I can do that :)
Until the next update, peace, happiness and enjoyable viewing to all.
Phil
