Check.jpg NEW: User Interface Changes

VTube Project Filename Box

  • There is a new current VTube Project filename box in the upper left corner. This box now shows the entire path of the current project file, so that there is no doubt about which file will be saved if you press the Save button. The text in this box can be selected and copied to the clipboard.

Pulldown Menu

  • The pulldown menu no longer stays open on the screen after a project load.

  • The pulldown menu now immediately updates the most recently used file list when you SAVE a new project.

Check.jpg NEW: System Option Folder Icons

Each value field or menu in System Options now shows one of two folder icons next to each value or at the top of the menu.

These icons help you know where the value is stored.

This folder indicates that the value is stored in the persistent configuration file. This means that the value will be the same for all projects.

Vtube folder cubes.png Cubes Folder Icon

This folder indicates that the value is stored in the project file. This means that the value can be unique for all projects.

Check.jpg Other Changes

  • The VTube configuration file location was in "c:\ProgramData\VTube", but this caused issues for some customers with computers using restricted rights. Now it is moved to the "C:\Users\Public\Documents\VTube\Config" folder - which is open for all users with multiple Windows logins.

  • The Alpine M4 Export now includes springback compensation with overbend in the bender data if the springback checkbox is selected.

  • The DELETE key can now delete selected models from the screen. (Only F12 would delete models in previous versions.)
