[LCtalk] LCedit+ v3.3 beta release

[Fokko van Duin]

Hello all,

If you like to test LCedit+ v3.3 before it will be released final, 
you can download it at:
http://www.lanbox.com/downloads/LCeditPlus_3.3X.sit   (OSX)

Most new features have to do with RGB (LED) fixtures and matrix 
setups. It's now possible to see the light intensity of a fixture 
-and- the resulting color of RGB fixtures on the stage.


New features:
* View menu: show color, hide labels added, so (RGB) lamps can be 
seen as a matrix display.
* Group editor merge modes added
* New panel RGB (with color/intensity result)
* New RGB fixture supporting color view.
* Paste picture (or drag file) into (selection/group) control 
Intensity/RGB panels
* Pattern generator now also supports matrix RGB and single channels and color
* Auto copy for path/pattern generator
* Reboot... menu action
* Go xx.x in layer zz action added (go in new layer)
* Layer list scrolling relaxed

bug fixes:
* UDP IP fields in global settings made wider
* 11 buttons, now possible
* Copy/paste empty step->crash solved
* v alt-enter without selection: Exception Traceback solved


Install instructions:
1. Make a backup of your current LCedit+ 3.2.1 folder (including 
project files), so you can go back if needed.
2. Place LCedit+ v3.3 in the same folder as LCedit+ 3.2.1
3. Replace the old RGB.lcf library file with the included new file in 
the library folder.

You can use the CDS pixi studio (USB).lcp project file as an example 
for (RGB) matrix usage in a second stage window. Use the included 
cuelist 100 to see a generated bouncing RGB patterns.

Notes:
In order to be able to use the pattern generator for RGB matrixes, be 
sure the light channels are sequential increasing from left to right, 
top to bottom.

When pasting a pict on the control window it is assumed that the 
width of the pict is equal to the matrix width.

Please report bugs, questions, remarks, felicitations, etc here on 
the talk list :-)

Regards,
