VersionUp 1.3.0

Quieter buttons, and a version list you can hide

• The version list can be put away. Settings → Options → Show version history. On by default; turn it off and the list at the foot of the panel goes, giving that height back to the buttons. Nothing is forgotten — the panel keeps its record and the switch brings it straight back
• The buttons look quieter. The face is now darker than the panel rather than lighter, so a button reads as cut into the surface instead of sitting on it, and the line around it is a line rather than a frame
• Your email address is no longer printed in the panel. The licence line says Active and which machine you are on, and nothing else — so a screenshot of VersionUp never carries your address
• The machine count comes from the product, not from your key. A key issued before the two-machine limit was settled could show the wrong number; it now always shows the right one
• The buttons say what they do. Version up and Approve now carry their names under the symbol, the way Project always has. Previously Project was the only button nobody had to guess at
• A narrow dock gets bars, not squares. Squeeze the panel below about 200px and the three buttons become full-width bars with their names beside the symbol; squeeze further and the words step aside, all three together rather than one at a time. That used to start at 170px — narrower than the panel would let itself be dragged, so most people never saw it
• Any button can be hidden, Version up included. Turn off what you do not use and the panel reshapes around what is left — no empty band where a button used to be. The last one on cannot be switched off, because a panel with no buttons has no obvious way back
• A list of your versions, at the foot of the panel and closed until you open it. Sequence and Project tabs, the name and when it was made, and a green tick on any cut that was approved. Clicking a project row opens its folder
• The panel only lists versions it made itself. Anything you renamed by hand reads as no record rather than pretending to remember it
• Alt-click Project to branch the project file the same way Alt branches a sequence, and Shift-click for a new major. Cmd-click shows the current project in the Finder
• Name your project versions your own way — a pattern with date, time, client, project and initials in it, or one of six ready-made presets
• VersionUp will no longer save over a project that already exists. Saving a project cannot be undone, so a click that would land on a file already on disk is stopped instead
• You can see when it is busy. The button dims and reads WORKING while Premiere saves. It does not animate, because Premiere stops the panel dead while it works — a spinner would be a lie
• The settings sheet has been rebuilt: one column, no boxes, grey headings and a symbol on every row, and a visual picker for choosing which buttons you want
• Feedback has a third option: Testimonial. If VersionUp has saved you something, you can say so, tell me who to credit, and tick whether I may quote you on the website. Nothing is ever quoted without that tick
• The buttons' corners now fit their shape. Squeeze the panel and they tighten; give it room and they soften — so a squashed dock no longer turns them into lozenges
• Save, Send, Activate and Close are the right colour now. They were still Adobe's blue while the rest of the panel had moved to violet
• The three menu items that open a window you fill in now say so, with a trailing "…"
• The accent colour is now violet rather than Adobe blue. White text on the old blue fell below the accessibility standard for normal text; the violet clears it
