• 3. Track color (as before)
• Range Tool:
• previously, the "Quick Swipe" comping function was always used on layers,
regardless of the selected tool (except the listen tool)
• now the Range tool can be used to select ranges on layers
• a range can also be selected with a single click on a layer (selects the event
range from the main track). This also works with the Arrow tool.
• switching content on the main track:

• when an event on the track contains material copied from a layer, the
context menu of that event will have a sub menu "Select Layer Content",
listing all layers that also contain material in the event range.
• selecting a layer from the menu replaces the event on the track
• switching can also be done quickly with Alt+Mousewheel (next/previous
layer)
• Layer / Event naming:

• in the track controls of a layer, the track name is shown below the layer
• the generic default layer names ("Layer 1", etc.) are now assigned
permanently, so they don't change anymore when reordering layers (which
caused a lot of confusion)
• when promoting layer material to the track, events now get the layer name; if
the layer has no real name, the event name is "trackName layerNumber"
• when recording, the name of the active layer is used in the event name:
"trackName layerName" or "trackName layerNumber" plus a running index
• Various:
• new "Expand Layers" button on track controls (shown when track has more
than 1 layer)

• when a range is selected on a layer, a button for the "Copy Ranges to

Track" Command" appears on the layer's track controls

• duplicating a layer now expands the track to show the new layer
