xlights/nutcracker version 3.0.22 released

[smeighan]

version 22 is released

3 changes in this version
1) Brightness slider now goes to 200%. This will help with dim movies.
2) Removed Gauge that was next to export button. Gauge doesnt work on Linux correctly.
3) New button to randomly create effects for your sequence. Thanks Frankr for these feature

Because this does have a lot to explain, i have made a 15 minute tutorial on the random effect generation.

3) New button to randomly create effects for your sequence. Thanks Frankr for these features

Looks like my prediction was right. You guys almost have it sequencing for me. And I think you will hit 200 releases this year

Hi Sean,

I *like* the new Create Random Effects button - nice way to quickly see various timing tracks. And great new effect to boot!

I like that you can delete an effect through "Delete Highlighted Effect" and the previous effect restarts when it hits the new (now blank) timing mark. Some effects, however, can be quite long and I'd like them to continue playing instead of restarting. I currently do this by deleting the timing entry from the Audacity files. Would it be possible to add a "Delete Timing Mark" option, so it could be done directly in Xlights?

Cheers,

Paul.
