ActionLay 1.1.0

ActionLay 1.1.0 adds a multilingual interface, regional preferences, complete-route map framing and adjustable buffering. It also keeps telemetry visible through slow network reads and makes export preparation more reliable.

What’s new

Interface and regional preferences

• 34 interface languages, with native language names and a searchable selector under Settings → Interface. System default is the first option and the initial selection: it follows changes to the system language, with English as the fallback for unsupported languages. You can also choose a language explicitly, without restarting.
• The Show diagnostic data switch now lives in Interface settings.
• Settings → Regional settings controls metric or imperial measurement preferences independently of the interface language. Choose System default to follow the system’s regional measurement settings, or select a fixed preference.
• Layouts and widgets now offer Default for units. A widget inherits its layout’s units; a layout set to Default inherits the regional preference. Explicit widget and layout units take priority. Included layouts use Default.

Maps and telemetry

• Included layouts with a map now show the entire route: dark green for the completed section and yellow for the section ahead, with north up. The two additional-data loading warnings have been removed.
• Map widgets can use fixed zoom or fit the entire route, with configurable coverage. Included maps center the route and fit its bounds to 80% of the map viewport along the limiting dimension.
• Route fitting works independently of the route line mode: it loads the complete route even when only the completed section is drawn. Preview keeps fixed zoom until loading finishes.
• Slow storage reads and buffering preserve the last valid displayed telemetry. Short gaps in telemetry also retain the previous value for a configurable duration per widget, set to 3 seconds in included layouts; longer gaps show the widget’s fallback. Paused and buffering time does not consume that tolerance.

Playback and export

• Settings → Advanced exposes read-ahead duration, the buffer required before playback resumes, and the memory limit for compressed packets. Defaults remain 3 seconds, 2 seconds and 32 MiB. Changes apply to the open video and are saved; a button restores the defaults. Read-ahead starts when a video opens, even while paused. Packet and decoded-frame limits can also constrain the amount buffered; the memory setting is not a cap on the app’s total memory use.
• Export defaults to Video with overlay.
• When export needs a route line or complete-route zoom, it loads and validates the complete route before rendering the first frame. An incomplete metadata read stops export rather than producing a partial route. Cancellation during this preparation is handled as cancellation.
• Export progress shows elapsed and estimated remaining time in seconds, minutes and seconds, or hours, minutes and seconds, as appropriate. The remaining-time estimate excludes the initial metadata-loading phase.
• An export keeps the measurement units selected when it starts, even if regional preferences change while it is running.

Download and install

• Windows 10/11 x64: use actionlay-windows-x64-setup.exe. The installer supports per-user or all-users installation, upgrades and uninstall through Windows Apps. It always creates a Start Menu entry; the desktop shortcut is optional.
• macOS 12 or newer, Apple Silicon and Intel: use actionlay-macos-universal.dmg, then drag ActionLay to Applications.
• Linux x64: follow the signed APT/DNF repository instructions, using the stable channel. Ubuntu 22.04+, Mint 21+, Debian 12+ and Fedora-compatible systems with glibc 2.35+ are supported. A graphics backend compatible with wgpu is required.

Portable Windows ZIP and Linux tar.gz builds, individual DEB/RPM packages, dependency sources and SHA256SUMS are also attached. The telemetry CLI is included; on macOS it is inside ActionLay.app/Contents/MacOS/.

Builds are not signed by an identified publisher or Apple-notarized. macOS may require allowing ActionLay in System Settings → Privacy & Security; Windows may show an unknown-publisher prompt.

Known limits

• Export currently processes one file with embedded GoPro telemetry and uses eight-bit SDR decoding. Linked GPX/FIT activities, native-camera telemetry and joined chapter timelines are not yet included in export. The new complete-route preparation applies within this existing export scope.
• Privacy zones hide map positions and route segments; they do not redact the video or other GPS widgets.
• Insta360 playback shows raw video, without 360 stitching or reframing. Telemetry availability varies by camera and firmware.
