Shows and Plots now store a to-the-minute record of when they're created and edited, rather than by day only

Bug fixes

Now you can copy Plots to a new Show while dragging, or just create quick copies in the same Show.

Fixed a bug with creating and resizing Image Shapes.

A brand new look for the Show browser! This complete overhaul makes organizing your work much simpler, with a clean split view layout and customizable Plot image sizes. Plus, drag Plots from one Show to another, change the split view border in the Show browser AND the Plot editor, and edit dates and crew more easily in the new Show and Plot detail tables. You can even change your Plot details while you have the Plot editor open.

And as always, bug fixes and other improvements.

Fixed a bug that caused a crash when trying to create certain Rail objects

Bug fixes from the previous release:
Fixed a problem that could show a blank Grip detail table and potentially crash
Fixed undo group naming for grid display tap gestures

This update provides more opportunities to customize the Plot and experience, to fit the way you work.

Improvements include:
User-sortable, collapsible sections in object list, detail tables, and display settings
Object detail tables include a section of relevant display settings
Reorganized display settings table with more controls
Change settings globally, or make them Plot-specific
Choose from 10 different fonts for your Plot, and set size numerically
New symbols and color indicators for a cleaner workspace
More intuitive position and rotation adjustment buttons in detail tables
Improved Beam Setup table
Rendering "full-resolution pieces" displays full image resolution for easy document creation
Stairs shapes can have number of steps changed
Unit pointers get styles like Notes (open, square, rounded)
Updated slider cell that shows what it's controlling even while editing
"Rotate Workspace With Device" setting is now device-specific

Plus bug fixes and performance improvements!

New buttons and actions in the Shows & Plots browser
Quick bug fix for an issue that could prevent users from adding an Image Shape
Fixed a problem displaying Crew positions and Show/Plot dates in dark mode
Allows custom Crew positions

Expanded Notes functionality to include adding images and different border styles

Units can now have custom "Roles" instead of only key, fill, and back; type anything you want! You'll still be prompted to set a Role when you target another Object, but you can edit roles at any time with a press-and-hold on the Unit, or in its detail table, regardless of whether it's targeting another object.

Roles are also editable in the Patch table. You can sort or filter by Role in the Patch and Units tables, and Roles are also listed in all Unit cells next to Model.

Add a visible border to your Plot, and adjust its color, width, and inset from the edge.

Allow LD to calculate the optimal size based on your objects' placement, or set the borders yourself. The full-resolution render will use this setting to determine the final image size.

This version adds a major feature: full-resolution Plot rendering.

No more Photoshopping frame grabs together; now you can have LD automatically generate a printable version of your creations, no matter how large. The "Save Screen to Photos" option is still there, but in a restructured, simpler menu, and rendering now takes advantage of GPU power for much faster speeds. And for quick access, you can use the Command-R keystroke. Check out the User Guide for all the details.

A few other improvements and bug fixes as well!

Fixed a bug that would cause rendered images to have a grey background
Fixed a bug that could ignore the Render Light preference
Enabled Cmd-Z and Cmd-Shift-Z Undo/Redo keystrokes in Patch table
Changed Lock/Unlock keystroke from Cmd-. to Cmd-0 (zero)
Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when opening Objects table
Faster switching between multi-Objects and multi-Units table

Welcome to iOS 13! This new version makes good use of some new system features, adds some great new touches of its own, and, of course, fixes bugs.

Improvements:

Patch list overhaul that allows for Gel copy/paste/add, re-ordering, Unit descriptions, and easier changes, plus lots of keyboard shortcuts
Shape Image auto-sizer enables sizing a floor plan image based on the known length of a certain dimension within the image (set two endpoints and it will resize)
Objects MUST BE SELECTED before they can be moved (which makes it easier to scroll around the Plot without accidentally moving an Object)
When Gels are on a Unit, their order can be changed on the Plot, in the Unit detail table, or in the Patch list
Gels can be rotated
Type a range for Unit DMX addresses, to change the DMX range automatically

Sort Objects table by their Model property (learn to use it!)
New detail table cells show Model and hide/solo/lock settings with accent colors
When objects are solo-ed, the Plot menu displays a notification so mysteriously hidden objects can be displayed
Pointer labels are displayed on other side of targeting Object when it's too close to target Object (instead of hiding)
Shapes can be flattened selectively; choose 2 or more to combine into an image Shape, rather than all of them
Crescit LightShop Library accounts can sign in with autofill password info
