Release: version stable 1.29.5.2

Bug fixes:
  • Fixed a bug where a script could incorrectly think the source file was edited by a third party application. The script should now only notify you of a source file change if the actual source file has changed while you have a script editor open, and not every time when ATVO loses focus.


Changes carried over from beta 1.29.5.0 and 1.29.5.1:

Released the Storyboard Theme Editor item. A storyboard is a list of storyboard items, where each item has a specific start time and a list of actions to execute. The actions will execute only after the start time of that item is reached. Use a storyboard to easily create more complex controls flows, where multiple actions must trigger at different times.

New features:
  • Storyboard Actions now include two different ways to start a storyboard:
    • "Start new instance": this starts a new instance of a storyboard independent of any already running instances of the same storyboard. Running this action multiple times will start multiple instances of the storyboard which run simultaneously.
    • "Restart": this stops any already running instances, and starts a single instance of the storyboard. Using this action ensures you cannot accidentally start multiple copies of the storyboard.
  • The "Restart" action should be the normal way to start a storyboard, to ensure you don't accidentally click the button twice and start it multiple times.
  • The "Start new instance" action should be used if you want to start a storyboard from within itself (meaning: your storyboard contains an item with an action that starts the same storyboard). This results in a storyboard of infinite duration (as it will keep calling itself).
  • Please note that a storyboard calling itself will report an incorrect duration; this has no effect on the functionality.
  • The "Stop" action will stop all running instances of a storyboard.
