Artnet 2 Twinkly 3.6 is Live 8/21/2023.

This version brings major updates to the layout editor to make it more usable. It also contains a few bug fixes on the importer as well, but also fixes some related to the network stack.

Bug Fixes

* Model import didn't work properly on substrings that weren't the first one.

* Fixed unusual scenario of a subnet mask other than 255.255.255.0 broke device discovery.

* Fixed issue where a loopback adapter for network virtualization would be treated as the active connection and would prevent connecting to any devices.

* On main window, the layout was missing aspect ratio if the string wasn't saved and you were logged in.

* Fixed an error in the select-drag code that was preventing dragging your selection in some cases.

Expanded Functionality

You can now import X-Models that are smaller than your mapping. Example scenario: You have a pro controller and strings 123 are running a mega tree and 4 is doing something else. You can now import the custom model for the mega tree separately, leaving the other mapping alone. You cannot overlap devices unless they are grouped. You can either select the starting location for the import with an offset from the beginning of the string, or by selecting a specific node and choosing the secondary import option in the drop-down button menu. New Scaling Method allows selection scaling. The scaling textboxes are removed from the editor and replaced with four buttons that work on either the entire model or just your selection. This allows you to scale your imports into position.

Vertical rotation has been added.

Both the rotation buttons and the scaling buttons can be held down.

your import is now pre-selected so you can move it to the correct position and scale as needed. Expect a demo video in a few days.
