Changelist:
If you find bugs specifically related to this build, please post them here instead of the Bug reporting forum. Any feedback positive or negative should also go in here, no new threads. This way all feedback, etc related to this build will be in the one place.
ABOUT THIS BUILD:
I've made a rather large change in this release. Since the last public release I moved the Skins, Playlists, etc to the Application data, however during tests of the beta builds, its become apparent that only some settings should be here.
So for this build I've moved all Skins, Playlists and Stations to the My Documents folder under the Xion folder. All other settings are now left under Application Data.
This correctly adheres to the Windows Vista and Windows 7 requirements for non-admins.
There are also a couple of extra new features, in preparation for the new Xion default skin (which is getting really close to being finished, Lance is doing an awesome job!)
Crash reporter is again disabled. If there are crashes I'll make a new temporary build in order to reproduce. If not, we're all good.
Let me know if you find any issues! Also if everything is running smoothly then please let me know too!
Any questions or bugs related to this build should be posted here only!
Enjoy!
Cliff

Changelist:
- Modified the Default Visualisation to immediately use the base color if its available, otherwise it will fade (i.e. between random colors)
- Fixed a crash in the Default Visualisation when you switched to the oscilliscope, then Disabled and Enabled the plugin
- Fixed the playlist resize when skins were made with blank space around them - Thanks Lance!
- Fixed when loading a skin at its minimum size that it would sometimes display the corner pieces and not properly tile in between
- Fixed the resize rectangle from sometimes detecting two mouseups and causing some overdraw
- Added the keyword snapvalue to the frame slider so that you can choose between snapping the values, or smoothly selecting the values. Smooth slider allows you to drag around and only snaps when you release
- Added extra clock keywords so that you can control the appearance of the clock. Keywords are nominsec, nosec, nomarker and force24. These are for the system clock display only.
- Added support for startframe keyword. Add this to a frame in order to mark it as the start frame for an animation
- Moved Xion Skins, Playlists and Stations to the My Documents folder. Left existing settings back in Application Data. Allows for much easier user managing of these files
- Renamed Random and Repeat to 'Random track order' and 'Repeat Playlist'
- Fixed crash when using invalid Track Title formats - Thanks Rutabaga!
- Fixed the trans slider setting the transparency to 0 and causing the layer to be marked as hidden. Now uses a very small trans value of 0.001 instead, causing the layer to be invisible, but not hidden - Thanks xonenine!
- Fixed a bug with the resize rectangle drawing of the playlist causing it to sometimes draw at a different location than where the mouse was
- Renamed the Font Strikethrough from fs to fst
- Added Quick Search text to the search box when it is blank
- Added 'ignore' keyword. Any layer containing this keyword won't be loaded by Xion and will be completely ignored
- Fixed the range of the Playlist scrollbar
- Added smooth scrolling to the Playlist scrollbar
- Added new Repeat mode, 'Track'. Repeat button now toggles between 'Repeat Playlist', 'Repeat Track', 'Repeat Off'.
- Added a new indicator layer called 'indi_repeattrack' or 'indi_repeattrk' to represent the track repeat mode
- Added a right click menu to the repeat button for changing repeat modes
- Added support for 'flipy' to all Text layers
- Fixed rendering issues caused by layers overlapping a snaprectangle, when a snaprectangle was smaller than the overlapping layers - Thanks Rutabaga!
- Modified Repeat Track mode to allow you to use Next/Prev to select new songs. The track is only repeated if you let it get to the end of the track
- Added Reset Window Position and Size to the Playlist window options
