v1.0b5

• Assorted layout fixes in the main window.
• Removed the chat system (no time to maintain the server)
• Track waveforms are now drawn normalised (audio is unaffected).
• Looped tracks are drawn with ghost waveforms for each repeat.
• Removed the essentially empty Settings tab.
• Unified comments display, so they all appear in chronological order, comments are scrolled/highlighted when their track representation is hovered over with the mouse.

v1.0b4

• Added a lovely icon thanks to @antiero 🙏
• Main window UI tweaks

v1.0b3

• Hopefully fixes #3, #4, #5 and #6, but since moving to coordinated file access, its anyones game.
• Work towards fixing #7.
• Start of code tidy/sanitisation now we've successfully gotten past 'proof-of-concept' phase, which means regressions I'm sure...
• New Chatomatic URL Note: If you have manually changed your URL, it may need fixing to: https://chatomatic.tomcowland.com/?room={room}&name={name}.
• Sync conflict files should now be ignored.

v1.0b2

• Added Chat tab, for realtime, transient gossip with anyone else who has the same project open.
• Improved and fixed a bunch of bugs in file/folder watching.
• Supports mixed sample rate audio.
• Moves comment anchoring to seconds not samples (NOTE: this effectively hides previous comments).

v1.0b1

• Improved audio file/folder watching.
• Use File > Open / Open Recent instead of Open button.
• Decorate tracks that have comments not anchored to a specific time.
• Highlight comments in the comment list when hovered in the track timeline.

The UI is still somewhat dire, but it should serve as a proof-of-concept for testing now.

v1.0a7

• Sorts comments by last edit date.
• Show commend save status.
• Watch other users comment files for updates and automatically reload.
• Improved comment presentation.

v1.0a6

• Start of Comment mechanism. Click/Click-drag on a track to annotate at a time.
• Basic comment side-bar (needs a lot of work), also allows non-time-based comments.
• Comments saved to per-user sidecar files to avoid merge issues (no watching yet).

v1.0a5

• Experimental mix export (should be sample accurate).
• Save state lights for project and mix.
• Window title now reflects base directory.

Hypothetical workflow

Probably the first build that could support testing of the basic premise for the app:

• Person A saves some stems/tracks to a shared folder (network, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc).
• Person A points Trackomatic at the folder and adds notes.
• Person B points Trackomatic at their sync of the folder and sees notes and can listen to stems in sync.
• Person B can import the stems into their DAW, or export a sub-mix from Trackomatic of the bits they want to work with.
• Person B then exports their new parts into the folder (or a subfolder).
• Person A sees the tracks popup in their own Trackomatic as the files are sync'd.
• Person A then exports a sub-mix or imports which ever new files they want into their DAW.

v1.0a4

• Experimental auto-save for the project (notes) and mix.
• Experimental folder watch for audio files (root + group folders)

v1.0a3

• Basic project notes
• Mix load/save to per-user sidecar files.
• Prefs window for user name.
