Please backup your old file before replacing it. Report any issues (:

REALLY IMPORTANT: The Hotkey names has changed since update 3.8, thus you will need to update (setup) your hotkeys again. Sorry for the inconvenience.

BUGS

- Fixed a signal handler crash due to an unloaded source
- Fixed a bug that triggered the Media when the timer was not active

​

This release brings one of the biggest updates yet. Some of it is a new feature or two, but mostly it delivers a service update of the script to improve stability and resolves some bugs.

REALLY IMPORTANT: The Script has been tested but there may be some bugs missed, please report them so they can be fixed. Also, somewhere along the road of developing this update I seemed to have accidently published an incomplete version that was avaibale to the public. To make sure you have the most recent release please download this file again. Last update Published / Released: 2022-10.05 15:15. Sorry for any confusion caused there.

To import a Settings file, the available files will be listed in a Drop-Down, select the required file and click the import button. IMPORTANT Please click the 'Reload Script' Icon to the bottom left of the script panel to refresh the settings.

Format Time Stamp

Timestamp is represented by
$D = day,

$M = minute,
$S = second,

To trim leading zeros, include $T = truncate leading zeros.
This will ONLY affect a format matching '$D:$H:$M:$S,$F' (00:00:00:00,00)

Quality of life improvement.

This update hides the 'Active Source' control property until it is needed. It will now only be visible if the 'Timer Type' is set to 'Count Down' and is in 'Advanced Mode' and the 'Next Scene' property is set to 'Source List' or 'Scene List'
