Changes in Storyboard Pro 5.1.1 (12.6.2.12144)
Feature | Description |
Project Management | It is now possible to extract or split a project in SBPZ format. |
Packed File (.sbpz) | Removed the dialog box that allows the closing of a project without saving, when the saving to a SBPZ file is cancelled or fails. If saving to the SBPZ fails, use the “Save As” command to save to a different location or a different format. |
Added a hidden preference called “PROJECT_CACHE_FOLDER_ROOT” that is used to specify the location of the project cache used when opening a SBPZ file: PROJECT_CACHE_FOLDER_ROOT: If this preference is empty, StoryboardPro will use the default location to unpack SBPZ files when they are opened. Environment variables are supported, $VARNAME or ${VARNAME} on MacOS and %VARNAME% on Windows. For example: <if condition="windows"> <string id="PROJECT_CACHE_FOLDER_ROOT"
</if> |
Fixes
- Fixed: Saving to SBPZ files that are larger than 4GB on Windows platform.
- Fixed: A possible crash on undo after dropping a template containing 3D models in a scene.
