1.2.4

Fixed startup bug in 10.3 where registration would not be activated.

Reopening the previously open documents when starting Macs Cue works properly in 10.3.

Warning if new sounds are on a removable drive works properly in 10.3

Fixed startup bug in all OS X versions where cue sheets with problems would not draw the error notification sheet correctly.

Progress indicator while loading cues shows correctly again (and is now a progress bar rather than an indeterminate spinner).

1.2.3

Runs on systems earlier than Jaguar. (No longer tries to use NSGradient on those systems.)

New Features

Pan control for each cue.

"GO" button.

P&G-style faders (with the look of real conductive plastic) for the volume of your choice.

Contextual menus for setting options, editing, and revealing in finder.

The fade time when hitting the F key is now a settable preference.

The default volume of new cues is now a settable preference.

Macs Cue remembers and re-opens previously open cue sheets.

Leading or trailing spaces in the registration info are ignored.

Printouts have headers and footers (OS X 10.4 and later only).

If a sound file has changed in length, you are now warned.

Bugs eliminated

In temporary-start mode, dragging in the playback column with no modifiers no longer temporarily weirds out the playback display.

Preview mode didn't work in 10.5

Changing stop time while playing now works correctly.

Setting start time and stop time to the same value no longer completely locks up the computer.

Changing the volume in non-edit mode no longer leaves the cue selected.

Fixed a small memory leak that occurred under certain viewing settings.

If last cue is set to advance on-deck at its end, it now redraws properly if you stop the cue.

It is no longer possible to increase the volume to infinity by using the right arrow.

Fading a cue that is done playing but is waiting to start the next cue no longer starts the next cue.

Trying to stop or fade a cue within about .1 seconds of the end could fail to stop the cue. Fixed.

Cue sheet now correctly scrolls to keep on-deck cue in view when stepping upward with the up-arrow.

Setting stop or start time of a cue while a temporary start time is set no longer displays garbage if you go past the temporary start time.

Universal binary, so it runs natively on Intel Macs

Auto-imports files from removable media

You can select a new file for an existing cue.

Moving a cue sheet and sound files to a new machine is easier

New "locate missing sound files" function

New icon, to avoid confusion between Macs Cue and other apps with much worse price/value ratio

The system beep is disabled when Macs Cue is running

The on-deck cue can advance at the start or end of a cue, or never

More precise control when setting a temporary start time

Optional reverse video

You can now drag files directly from iTunes.

Added "Reveal in Finder" command.

The volume controls now only respond when you click on the knob. Clicking anywhere else in the volume control has no effect. This should reduce the chances of accidentally setting a cue's volume.

The volume control moves in realtime during fades.

Cues whose sound file is on a removable drive are now marked with a yellow striped background, to warn you that they may be slow in starting.

The window can be resized shorter than the height of the options drawer.

Adjustable fade-in and fade-out times for each cue
Adjustable fade time when setting a cue to auto-fade previous cue
