OpenFadeR 0.2.1
This update fixes the tempo readout and adds options to make beat grids and hotcue flags easier to see. Thanks to @efficientcommunication-png for reporting both issues.
Fixes
- Fixed the tempo display showing
126.100instead of127.00near a whole BPM. It now reads126.99 → 127.00 → 127.01correctly on normal and compact decks. Playback speed was not affected. #1 - Restored the missing A and F letters on waveform hotcue flags.
Clearer waveforms
Open Preferences > View > Waveform for two new settings:
- Beat Grid: Bold draws thicker, outlined grid lines over the waveform. Downbeats are wider than the other beats, so colour is not the only way to tell them apart.
- Hot Cue Markers: Large doubles the size of hotcue flags and their letters on deck waveforms and browser previews when preview cue markers are enabled.
Both settings apply immediately and are saved between sessions. Normal remains the default. These changes address #2.
Regression coverage
Added a test that renders the actual tempo display at normal and compact sizes and checks thousands of rounding boundaries, including the reported 126.100 case. The test fails with the old formatting code and passes with this fix.
