A New Update To SAWStudio64 V2... Now V2.4

[Bob L]

A new update to V2 with some more adjustments to VST3 Plugin loading.

Version 2.4
Enhancements
* The Ctrl-Backspace Key has been enhanced to recognize Multitrack modes and act accordingly. Even with the Record Remote active, if Select Mode is active, selected entries are duplicated at the cursor position aligning the Key Entry with the cursor... if Automaion Display mode is active, then a duplicate of any marked automation is copied to the cursor position... if the Control Track is the active track, then a duplicate of any marked Ctrl entries is copied to the cursor position... otherwise Retake-All is the result.

* The Comm Port Settings have been enhanced to support 115200, 128000, and 256000 baud rates.

Bug Fixes
* The automatic .wav Datalength detection has proven buggy because many .wav files include chunks that can reside after the data chunk and create extra junk data at the end of the .wav data in many files. So, the .wav datalength now defaults back to the actual header stamped .wav datalength to properly truncate .wav data to actual stamped length values. But this now defeats the ability to fix corrupted .wav file headers that contain .wav datalength longer than is allowed in the Windows .wav file length header storage, thereby cutting off data much shorter than the actual extended length of the data in files that have been recorded for too long of a time.. So, I have now added a new File menu option called "Ignore Audio Data Length For All New File Opens" which can be used to help fix headers that are corrupted with datalength values that have exceeded the allowable datalength value size because you recorded a live session for too long without splitting to new files. This option will not save with the preference file and will always revert back to OFF when restarting the program. It is meant to be turned ON when you need to fix corrupted headers and then immediately turned OFF when done. When this option is Checked, opening new files will ignore and reset the .wav datalength to the end of the file, thereby accessing the full length of the file which may also add some junk data at the end of the .wav. data. This can salvage corrupted recordings from files that are too long compared to the max data limit. Once opened you should now be able to see the extended long datalength of the .wav data and you can create regions that are within the max length allowed and then split and extract the files into part 1 and part 2 etc. This then allows you to create a new session header using the smaller region lengths as separte multiple files to create a fixed legal header. Make sure to turn this option OFF when you are done for normal file operation on future sessions.

* The VST3 .ini scanning code has been modified to allow and detect plugin names that include a single or multiple periods in the .ini path data line. This helps solve waves loading issues and other plugin installs that may use periods with version numbers in the path data line
