What's new in 2.3.1

  • Fix: Make dock tab icons show up properly on Qt 6.11, they could end up blank there.
  • Fix: Don't skip initial command when playing back recordings. This caused the canvas size command to be skipped on old converted recordings, meaning its size stayed at zero and nothing would play. Thanks dango for reporting.
  • Server Feature: Allow new sessions to clobber empty, non-persistent, lingering sessions. Server owners can enable this to prevent "server is full" errors that would resolve themselves by waiting a few minutes for these lingering sessions to time out. Sessions with the lowest time spent drawing are terminated first. Thanks Bluestrings for suggesting.
  • Fix: Make hitting "save" after joining a session in the same window not save over the save file from a previous session in the same window. Unless you are reconnecting to the same session, in which case it will save over the file as it should. The logic for this was reversed from what it should be. Thanks Bonbli and D'mitri for reporting.
  • Fix: Also select layers when multiple key frames are selected.
  • Fix: Properly select layers when switching focused tracks when the selected frame was already visible.
  • Fix: Revert default save format to the new default even if it has been changed before, since it's better to make you change it again than lose timelapse data. Thanks Sheepolution for reporting.
  • Fix: A crash on Windows when unchecking the show conflicts checkbox while still editing a shortcut. Thanks yellow circle for reporting.
  • Fix: Make animation playback not get stuck when switching from a reversed range to a normal one without refereshing.
  • Fix: Properly apply the parent group's opacity in the rendered animation as well, rather than just on the canvas.
  • Feature: On Android, hide any open docks in small screen mode when pressing the back button before closing the main window. Thanks anonymous for suggesting.
  • Fix: Make start screen take less horizontal space in small screen mode. Thanks anonymous for reporting.
  • Feature: Remove the "Normal View" button from the timeline header, since you can just press the frame view button to exit it. This makes the timeline fit better on small screens.
  • Feature: Add a drag zoom mode to the zoom tool. This is the default, since it's more useful and consistent with the rotation and pan tools. …
