will offer to load it. As a default, if the user does not respond to the offer, the current-day log is
automatically loaded and spliced with the emergency log. This new behavior occurs only in Live,
Satellite and Automation modes of operation.
11. Enhancement. A menu item has been added to optionally display the inventory description in the
log description field (View | Log Display | Use Inventory Description on Logs). When enabled,
displayed log items will have the matching cart's inventory description instead of the original log
description. If imported music data is being used, this setting is ignored for carts matching the
"Music" cart category. Note this feature is display-only, the underlying log is not changed. As a
result, searching the log on the Description field may have unpredictable results if the log
description and inventory description are completely different - i.e., characters in the search string
are present in the log description but not the inventory description or vice-versa.
12. Enhancement. A menu item has been added for opening an emergency log (File | Open an
Emergency Log). This option is available in all operating modes and is intended for use in a
situation where no logs exist for a station, an on-air situation has developed that requires
completely different content, or XStudio is being used as a backup system and the user needs a
custom emergency log.
13. Enhancement. Displaying file open and save dialogs has been updated to correct problems with
multi-monitor systems (and some newer operating systems) displaying these dialogs in the wrong
position or on the wrong monitor.
14. Enhancement. A log pop-up menu item has been added that provides the ability to quickly jump to
the log record currently selected by the user whether it's within view or not. The item is available on
the current-day log (Today Log) only and displays the log description of the user-selected log
record. The feature is useful in situations where XStudio has scrolled the user-selected log record
out of view as a result of making sure the currently-playing item is in-view on the log display.
15. Enhancement. Copying of inventory files to the secondary location (if enabled) is now retried
several times before notifying the user the copy has failed. If another program has locked the file
that is to be replaced, multiple attempts to copy the file increase the chance of success as the file
may be released by the other program while XStudiois retrying the copy operation.
16. Enhancement. In previous versions of XStudio, when starting and the option to load the current-
day log at startup was turned off, XStudio made no attempt to load inventory information. Now, if
the option to generate & use local inventory (Preferences | Audio Properties) is turned on, XStudio
will load and display current inventory information.
17. Change. The behavior of context-sensitive help has been changed so that when [Right-Click] of
the mouse is used, the "What's This" pop-up menu no longer appears if there is no context help
available for the control over which the mouse is located. When the context button on the toolbar
or menu item Help | What's This Help is clicked and the user subsequently clicks on a control that
has no help, the message indicating there is no help available is no longer displayed. Instead, the
mouse cursor simply returns to its normal shape without displaying any message.
18. Fix. Carts (audio items) with a length or Aux Mark value greater than ~60:15 (60 minutes, 15
seconds) were displayed as being much shorter. Long carts now display correctly.
19. Fix. If a user changed the log font size, the second row of the log display did not increase its height
to display the text in its entirety. This occurred in both the current-day and next-day logs. The
height of that specific row had been inadvertently set to a fixed height. It is now dynamic like all
other rows of the log.
20. Fix. When in Satellite mode and late-day breaks on the current-day log were empty, XStudio would
incorrectly transition to the next-day log. XStudio now correctly waits until the active break directive
requires transitioning the log.
21. Fix. When a Load Play directive on the log was processed in Satellite mode, break boundaries
were not being respected and XStudio would play content intended for the next directive. XStudio
