Release Notes 
Jan 19, 2018
New Features
  • Panel Components - Any Panel COMP with 'Children' page of parameters now has options for scrollbars.
    • Separate options for horizontal and vertical scrollbars (Children page of parameters).
    • Scroll Overlay options (Panel page of parameters).
  • Movie File Out TOP - Added support for regular Hap and Hap Alpha encoding.
  • Window COMP - Improvements for working with multiple monitors and DPI scales.
    • Fixed 'Read Current Settings' not working well with multiple monitor configurations and DPI scaling.
    • Added ability to shift a window to whatever monitor the mouse is located on when it is opened.
  • Video Device In TOP - Added support for Ximea cameras.
  • Performance Monitor - Added option to log extension compilation time.
New Python
  • Window COMP - Improvements for working with multiple monitors and DPI scales.
    • Added .contentX .contentY .contentWidth and .contentHeight members to get information about the location of the window's contents on the monitor.
    • Added 'scalingMonitorIndex' python member.
  • Monitor Class - Added scaled* members for width/height and bounds.
  • UI Class.openCOMPEditor(path) - Opens the Component Editor for the specified operator. 'path' - Specifies the path to the operator. An OP can be passed in as well. ui.openCOMPEditor(n)
  • tdu.split() added
Return a list from a space separated string, allowing quote delimiters.
string: any Python object... will be evaluated as str(string), so parameters will work. eval: if True, convert any valid Python literal structures: strings, numbers, tuples, lists, dicts, booleans, and None.
Examples:
split('1 2.3 None fred "one '2'" "[1,2]"')
yields ['1', '2.3', 'None', 'fred', "one '2'", '[1, 2]']
split('1 2.3 None fred "one '2'" "[1,2]"', True)
yields [1, 2.3, None, 'fred', "one '2'", [1, 2]]
  • OP.OPType now returns the name of the operator type;
      • Example 'waveCHOP'.
    • This isn't necessarily the same as OP.type + OP.family;
      • Example 'audiodeviceinCHOP' vs 'audiodevin' + 'CHOP'.
    • COMP.create() now takes a string OPType as a parameter, OR an operator type;
      • Examples
      • op('/project1').create('waveCHOP') #string
      • op('/project1').create(waveCHOP) #type
      • op('/project1').create(type('wave1')) #type of existing operator
