MagicQ now supports a Window Size dialogue box to enable the window position and window size to be selected directly with one press directly rather than stepping through all the possible window sizes and positions.
The window size dialog box can also be opened by double clicking on the titlebar of the window that you wish to size. On MagicQ consoles the window size button SIZE (ALT EXEC on MQ40/60/80 and ALT PATCH on MQ500) now opens the Window Size dialog box.
The old style window positioning and sizing is still available by pressing SHIFT + SIZE. Previously SHIFT + SIZE made a window external - but this has not been needed for many years as MagicQ has had a dedicated EXT button.
MagicQ now allows sizing of windows to 1,2 or 3 rows when using the LEFT (1..4) and RIGHT (1..4) window sizes. By default they continue to size as before - filling the left or right side automatically, but you can now specify for each window whether they should be restricted to 1,2 or 3 rows.
If you only have LEFT (1..4) windows opened then they will automatically spread across the whole width - so this new option is available on the left column, on the right column or across the whole width.
When you set a window to size of LEFT (1..4) or RIGHT (1..4) then you get extra options in the Toolbar, View menu to select the number of rows; Default, 1 row, 2 row, 3 row.
The setting is stored/recalled in Layouts and also in the show file.
Improved editing of fields in TC Tracks view. It is now possible to set both Playbacks and Cue Stacks and to change the referenced Playbacks and Cue Stacks. It is also possible to insert extra steps into the TC Track directly in TC View.
MagicQ can import head files in the new GDTF format. Use the file manager to select a .gdtf file to import. If the file contains multiple modes a prompt will appear to select which mode to import. After selection the patch window will be shown and the imported personality will be selected. You can then use "patch it", "edit head", and other functions as usual.
Please note that not all features of GDTF are currently supported. MagicQ may use a "best-guess" scheme to attempt to map these to MagicQ functions, or otherwise disable them entirely. A warning dialog will be displayed after importing to indicate if this is the case.
Plot View now allows views to be rotated. This makes rubber banding selection of fixtures on angled trusses easier. The Plot view has new setting for disabling reordering of head selection when using rubber banding to select heads.
MagicVis can now render ultraviolet and lime colour attributes.
If a head file does not have gobo images set then MagicVis will now render a gobo that shows the slot number.
There is a new option for the Fan Mode - "Pan Only - no Tilt". This avoids fanning of tilt attributes. All other attributes can be fanned.
The patch window fixture type buttons now display a count of the number of fixtures with that type. #0021311

Fix for live speed control of simple PixelMap FX on large grids. Affected grids with large number of rows or columns where FX was stepping more than 33 steps per second.
