We hope the docs are useful as you explore GearConnect!

Improved searching in the Library Pane

1.11.0 (2024-09-20)

Direct Link

Improved searching in the Library Pane

The search fields in tree lists such as the Library Pane and the My Gear pane have received several improvements based on your feedback! Searches now search for parent and child items together. Meaning a search for 'Luminex' will now show all gear under Luminex as well, making it much easier to find gear by manufacturer or brand, without needing to know the exact name of the gear you are looking for.

In addition, searches are now more forgiving, ignoring spaces so gear such as 'EX 3' can be found by searching for either 'ex 3' or 'ex 3' for example.

Improvements

  • You can now choose a mesh grid instead of a dot grid for the Show Grid option; this can be changed in Edit -> Project Settings -> Drawing
  • A new Add Layer button has been added to the drawing toolbar
  • New keyboard shortcut to duplicate the selected gear item: CTRL+SHIFT+D
    • Note: This keyboard shortcut was previously used to open the Gear Config pane; this has now been changed to CTRL+SHIFT+C
  • New keyboard shortcut to relabel the selected gear item: F2
  • Improved Keyboard Shortcuts and Controls dialog that split out Draw Controls and Gear sections

Bug Fixes

  • Older changelogs were not always shown in the help menu
  • Fixed some instances where 'manufacturer' said 'manufacture' incorrectly

1.10.0 (2024-09-16)

Direct Link

Improvements

  • When available, a link is shown when adding gear, to take you to the manufacture's website for their expansion card configuration/options; example - PIXERA's servers will take you to their Configurator
  • Ports can now be connected to bidirectional signal flow ports, even if the other port is not bidirectional; previously both ports needed to be bidirectional for the connection to be accepted, but now you can connect an output to a bidirectional signal flow, just like port direction
  • Saving is disabled in the Library Editor, along with selecting a new library item, if the current preview is queued for, or is actively re-generating; this mitigates a few reported stability bugs
  • If a re-gen is pending or in progress, the re-gen button in the Library Editor now has a spinner to indicate there are pending changes
  • When expansion cards for a given library item are still loading, the Configure Expansion Card button now has a spinner, to prevent being clicked on before the cards have been loaded
  • Several performance improvements

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed sometimes being prompted that you have unsaved changes when quickly switching between library items in the Library Editor
  • Fixed styling on several links
  • Memory leak fixes
