Changelog:
- Improving undo/redo support. Now the last X number of undo/redo actions are stored in the project file. The number can be adjusted in the prefences, under the auto-save tab. This also vastly improves the usefulness of the auto-save system, since it saves your undo/redo history as well.
- Fixed Image Sequence exporting. Supports PNG, JPG, PPM, BMP and a few others. Also added 'Audio Only' and 'Video Only' export options.
- Adding new Freeze and Freeze & Zoom presets, to quickly insert freezes into clips.
- Removing 'show waveform' from separate audio menu, to increase speed of separating audio.
- Protect file menu from invalid file_id.
- Protect timeline dropEvent from empty item_id.
- Cloaking timeline body until Angular loads fully (so we don't see the occasional pop-in debug layout).
- Updating translations and supporters.
- Bumping version to 2.4.0 (minimum libopenshot version 0.1.8). [full release notes]
