mrv2 v0.5.4

v0.5.4

• Made Playlist thumbnail reflect the current or in times.

• Changed extension of Session files to be .mrv2s to distinguish them from
  .m2s video/audio files.

• Fixed copying of colors from the Color Area Panel.

• Fixed refreshing of timeline when Close All was executed.

• Fixed sending and receiving notes through the network.

• Fixed saving of annotations in session files that were on the timeline.

• Fixed loading of annotations from a session file.

• Made clicking twice on area selection open/close the color area panel.

• Fixed annotations' ghosting which was not fading in/out correctly.

• Allowed loading a session file from the command-line. Just do:

  $ mrv2 test.mrv2s

• Added accidentally missing licenses of Python and pybind11 to docs/Legal.

• Added a File/Clone right mouse button menu option to Files Panel. This is
  useful when creating a playlist of the same element but different in/out
  points.

• Added support for OCIO settings in session file.

• Added support for Color Channel (Layers) settings in session file.

• Added session files to the list of recent files.

• Fixed channel (layer) shown in the color channel pulldown when switching
  files.

• Fixed macOS start-up script not passing the command-line arguments.

• Made session file store and restore the current time in the timeline.

mrv2 v0.5.3

v0.5.3

• Made area selection allow it to select 1 pixel easier by a single click.
  To disable it, you just need to switch to a new action mode (drawing, etc).
• Some users on older macOS versions reported problems with the Privacy
  mechanism of the OS on Documents, Desktop and Download directories.
  The problem is not there if we use the native file chooser. I've switched
  the default on macOS to use the native file chooser.
• Added a soft brush for annotations on all shapes. You access it from the
  Annotation panel which can be opened from the menus or by clicking twice on
  any of the draw tools. The algorithm for smooth brushes is not yet perfect,
  as it can sometimes lead to an overlapping triangle on self intersections.
• Allowed splatting a brush stroke if clicking only once.
• Made Pen size in annotations go as low as 2 pixels. One pixel tends to
  vanish and have issues when panels are open.
• Added license and code attribution to the Polyline2D.h code which was missing
  and I had lost where I downloaded it from. I have further modified it to
  support UV mapping and indexed triangles.
• Fixed flickering of timeline thumbnail if switched to on first and then
  later set it to off in the preferences.
• Added a session file to store a mrv2 session (.m2s files)
  All files loaded, ui elements, panel values, etc. are saved and restored.
• Fixed a potential crash when using One Panel Only.
• Added Notes to Annotation Panel. This allows you to add comments on a frame,
  without having to draw anything (or in addition to the drawn elements).
• Made view take the focus upon entering except when typing in the text tool.
• Fixed search in the Hotkey window which was missing the last character of
  the function.
• Fixed search repeatedly in the Hotkey window which was searching from the
  topline instead of from the last selected item.
• Allowed annotation drawing outside of the canvas once again.
• Fixed precision issues on annotation drawings.
• Made annotations respond to R, G, B, A channels changing.
• Removed ngrok documentation as it was incorrect for internet access.
• Fixed resizing of viewport not taking into account the status bar, leading
  to zoom factors of 1/1.04 instead of 1.
• Fixed VPX building on docker container which was recently not detecting neither compiler correctly.

mrv2 v0.5.2

v0.5.2

• TCP Control Network port number is now saved in the preferences.
• Volume control is now saved in the preferences.
• Mute control is now saved in the preferences.
• Moved TCP volume and mute control to App.
• Fixed a bug in selection of items in Files Panel when two or more images
  had the same path.

  files as selected.
• Added volume/setVolume to python cmds module.
• Added isMuted/setMute to python cmds module.
• Fixed resizing of log window when an error appears not remembering the user
  size settings.
• Fixed a horrible math bug in the calculation of zooming with Right
  Mouse Button + ALT key.
• Made paths sent through network connections be garbled with a simple cypher
  scheme.
• Fixed bundle identifier on macOS having the same ID as the old mrViewer.
• Added -server, -client and -port command-line flags to start a network
  connection.
• Added documentation on how to establish a server-client connection on the
  internet using the free ngrok service. This allows a single mrv2 server and
  a single mrv2 client to connect for free albeit for non-commercial projects.
  For multiple clients or commercial ventures, you need to pay for one of
  ngrok's plans or use another server of your choosing that will allow you to
  open a network port.
• Added parsing of hostname to extract tcp:// and :port from it.
• Upped the network protocol version used. Now it is 2. You can no longer
  use v0.5.1 with v0.5.2 or else the paths will get garbled.
• Fixed drawing and erasing of shapes getting drawn in different order.
• Annotations now can only be drawn inside the image instead of everywhere in
  the viewport.
• Fixed annotations ghosting not being drawn transparent in some areas and more
  solid in others.
• Made volume slider knob more attractive.
• Hotkey editor now has a close button on Windows.
• Fixed toggling of magnify texture filtering.
• Added hotkey entry for toggling minify texture filtering.
• Added magnify texture filtering to the list of hotkeys as it was missing.
• Added opacity (alpha) to drawing tools.
• Fixed a major memory leak when switching images which would show up mostly
  on Linux.

mrv2 v0.5.1

v0.5.1

This is a minor release with several important bug fixes.

• Made Path Mappings get saved to a different file (mrv2.paths.prefs) instead
  of the main preferences file.
• Fixed a Windows input of accented (foreign) characters in Text tool.
• Fixed on Windows opening files with spaces on them when the language was
  not the same as the language of the OS.

  (not yet functional in tlRender).
• Made double clicking on any of the annotation tools in the action dock
  panel toggle the Annotation Panel.
• Added Send and Accept Media to send and receive media files opening,
  closing and syncing.
• Improved drawing overlaps of multiple annotations. Only when the erase tool
  is used does the drawing get reversed.
• Made cursor re-appear if drawing and using the right mouse button menu.
• Fixed saving of annotations in EXR imges when they were big.
• Fixed network connection not syncing the UI when a panel was closed with
  the red dismiss button instead of a hotkey or from the menu.

mrv2 v0.5.0

v0.5.0

• Added networking to mrv2. You can have a server and one or more clients and
  they will all colaborate with UI, pan and zoom, color transformations,
  playback, audio and annotations. They can all be set to send or accept any
  item individually, from either the Preferences or the Sync menu.
  The server should contain the media to be reviewed. Upon a connection by any
  client, the client will attempt to synchronize with the server.
  The sever and client are on a LAN and if both the client and server use the
  same paths to the media, the client will get all of its media loaded
  automatically.
  If they don't have the same paths, each file will be to the list of path
  mappings set in the Preferences.
  Finally, if that fails, the files will be compared on its base name
  and if matched, it will get accepted as the same clip, with a warning.
  If none of this is true, an error will appear, but the connection will
  continue. However, syncing among multiple clips may show the wrong clip.
• Added Path Mapping to deal with paths being different on each platform, client
  or server.
• Fixed dragging of the timeline outside of the in-out range. Now it will
  clamp the slider.
• Fixed a subtle bug in translations of Preferences' tree view which could lead
  to the wizard panel not show.
• Fixed a potential crash on log panel opening (when it was already opened).
• Fixed a bug on Windows and macOS that would size the panels beyond the bottom
  of the window.
• Added Environment Map options to python API.
• Fixed Luminance label spilling into the black areas of the pixel bar.
• Fixed Luminance tooltip flickering on macOS.
• Fixed Media Info Panel not showing up when the dockgroup was created for the
  first time.
• Fixed cursor disappearing on the action tool bar when a draw mode was
  selected. Now it only disappears when it is in one of the views.
• Added saving of annotations when saving movie files or sequence of images.
• Fixed saving on Windows of movies creating a color texture error.

mrv2 v0.4.0

• Exposed all Python symbols on Linux when linked statically in mrv2 executable.
  This prevented on Linux from loading some external symbols on some libraries.

  was preventing loading some modules.
• Improved Docker building by not cloning the git repository in the Dockerfile.
  The cloning now happens in the etc/entrypoint.sh script.

  frame), return the focus to the main window once you press return.
• Updated cmd.update() to return the number of seconds (usually milliseconds)
  the UI took to update.
• Updated the timelineDemo.py to play the clip for 5 seconds instead of a
  random number.
• Made Text input tool (widget) not loose focus when it is dragged somewhere
  else.
• Fixed loop mode at start not showing the appropiate loop mode.
• Made default loop mode be Loop.
• Updated to newer tlRender (new OpenColorIO 2.1, FFmpeg 6.0, etc).
• Due to changes in OpenColorIO, support for Windows 8.1 is no longer
  provided.
• Fixed Panel/Logs not showing as a toggle menu entry.
• We are also dropping support for 32-bit Windows machines, as it waa
  causing a lot of confusion with users downloading the wrong version
  from sourceforge.net when the amd64 (64-bits) version was not tagged as
  default or that it was called amd (and not Intel :)

  change it once again.
• Added reporting of memory use to HUD.
• Added Cache in Gigabytes to Settings Panel. When this is non-zero the
  Read Ahead and the Read Behind are calculated automatically based on

  has no audio.
• Added number of Cache Ahead and Behind Video and Audio frames to HUD.
  If Ahead Video cache becomes 0 when playing forwards, playback will stop.
