VersionUp 1.4.13

Tabbed Settings and a custom-name click

• Settings is now three short tabs: Naming, Bins and Panel. One page each instead of one long sheet. Rest the pointer on anything and the line above Save says what it does
• Naming shows what each click makes. One row each for Click, ⌘-click (Ctrl-click on Windows) and Alt-click on Project, with the exact name it would give. Every row starts closed, so the tab stays short; open one with its arrow to change it. Client, project, initials and the date now have their own labelled section
• A warning when you open an old project file. Open Job_v02 while Job_v04 sits beside it and the amber banner names the newer file, with a Show folder button. With Block VersionUp on an old version on (Settings → Panel), Project will not save from the old file
• Hold ⌘ (Ctrl on Windows) and click Version up to use your Custom name. Your everyday format stays on a plain click; ⌘-click makes that one version with your own pattern, which now always shows in Settings → Naming. It needs {version}, and {name} is now one of the tokens you can tap in. Rest on the button and the ⌘ row shows the exact name. The old-version warning still recognises the cut
• Hold Shift for a new major version, whatever your naming format. Brand Film_v03 becomes Brand Film_v04.1, keeping the name's own shape, custom patterns included. Rest on Version up and the Shift row shows the exact name
• Alt-click now files the alternative and opens it. It goes into its own ALT bin, or stays beside the original if you prefer (Settings → Bins), and it is put in your timeline, because that is where you wanted to be. The original is never touched
• Click a sequence in the version list to open it. The row you are on is marked
• The hover read-out uses your real sequence. With one sequence selected, each row shows exactly the name that press would make
• No more frozen animation while it works. Press a button and it quietly steps back to grey while Premiere takes over, then eases into the result instead of jumping
• Green means done, on every button. A clean run now turns green whichever button you pressed, alongside amber for partly done and red for failed
• The hover read-out fits a short panel. Docked short, it becomes one line that changes as you hold ⌘, Alt or Shift, with small key marks to show there is more
• New bins go beside your sequences, not at the top of the project. This changes a fresh install only; settings you have already saved are left alone
• The ☰ menu is four items, so it fits a short dock: Tour, Help & licence…, Send feedback…, then Settings… at the bottom. Help, your licence and the update check are now one window. It checks for updates by itself when you open it, and Check for updates, at the bottom, tells you straight away whether you're on the latest version. Hover tips also appear a little sooner
• Your licence is kept safer. It now lives in its own file with a backup, so a Premiere upgrade or an interrupted save cannot lose it, and a key pasted from an email with odd dashes or spaces is still read correctly
• Fixed: a year in a title, like Showreel 2026_v11, was read as part of the version, and a date like Promo_2026-09-27 could be read as a version number
• Fixed: versioning a whole bin could also renumber the old copies already filed inside it, and approving twice put an APPROVED bin inside APPROVED
• Fixed: "Same folder, no bin" for an alternative put it at the top of the project
• Fixed: Project could save over an existing file when a folder name contained # or %. It now refuses rather than risk it
• Fixed: a client, project or initials containing characters like / : ? made a file name Windows cannot save
• Fixed: the panel could stay on "Loading…" if Premiere started with it docked very short, and could overlap itself in a short, wide dock
• Fixed: pressing a second button while one was still working could start two jobs at once
• Fixed: Settings closed and said "saved" when a bin name was left empty. It now stays open on the right tab and says which box needs filling
• Fixed: Shift could raise a year that sat in front of the version, so NK Showreel 2026.1 became 2027.1. The year is now left alone
• Fixed: a ⌘-click (Ctrl-click on Windows) on a dotted name like Edit_v0.3 now gives v0.4, and a 001-style series keeps counting 002, 003 rather than restarting at v01
• Fixed: choosing a saved preset in Settings replaced your ⌘ pattern, and Save could rewrite the preset. Presets now change only when you press Save preset
• Fixed: opening Help & licence brought back an update banner you had dismissed with Not now
• Fixed: your client and project names went missing after Project made the next project file
• Fixed: after your first ⌘ version up, opening the old cut gave no warning that it was old
• Fixed: the ☰ menu could run off the bottom of a short docked panel. It now scrolls
