What's New in Version 24.09.06.0 See changelog
Released
New Features:
- Bulk Video Creations: When selecting ‘Overwrite older videos’, it will also check if there is a POV or INI file that is newer than the playfield video. If so, it will record a new playfield video.
- INI File Parser Update: Updated our INI file parser to preserve the original order of sections and keys in INI files. New entries are appended.
- VPS Icon: Added a VPS icon on the main form. When the table matches a VPS entry, the icon will appear, which will open your internet browser to the correct table site.
- Advanced Video Switch: Added an ‘Advanced’ switch on the main form to show ‘Gameplay Videos’, ‘Promo Videos’, and ‘Tutorial Videos’.
- Circular Progress Bar: Added a circular progress bar when downloading from FTP or MEGA Links.
- Configuration Files Relocation: Moved CustomGameEx.XML and MegaLinks.xml to the config folder.
- Updated Documentation: All relevant documentation has been updated to reflect the new features and bug fixes.
- PinballX Favorites Count: Resolved an issue affecting the favorites count in PinballX. This fix ensures accurate tracking and display of favorite tables, enhancing the overall user experience.
- PinballX Table Rating Data Preservation: Added an option to prevent data loss in Database Manager when rating a table within PinballX. This ensures that all relevant data, including date added and date modified, remains intact.
Bug Fixes:
- Right-Click Action on Tables List: Fixed an issue where using Ctrl-A on the tables list and performing a right-click action could result in ‘ERROR INFO: mnuListBox_click Index was outside the bounds of the array’.
- Table Rating Issue in PinballX: Fixed a bug where rating a table within PinballX caused the specific table to lose all relevant data used by the Database Manager, including date added and date modified. This also fixed the issue where accessing that entry within DBP resulted in multiple error messages: ‘ERROR INFO: DateTimeReformatString2DateDisplay String ‘’ was not recognized as a valid DateTime’.
- Table Count on Main Form: Fixed an issue where the table count on the main form sometimes didn’t count correctly.
- APNG Animation: Stopped APNG animation from wheels when a wheel is deleted.
