Happy new year 🥳 🥳 🥳

We are starting the new year with some great improvements:

• Create a new version of your file and open it with a single click
• Start discussions on your tasks with your teammates 👩‍💻 👨‍💻
• A User Attribute to tag users on files, folders and tasks
• Update to Python 3.9

‍

🌺 Anchorpoint should not feel so heavy. So we have completely adapted the interface again. The preview page is undocked (like in the macOS Finder) and can be closed via space.

📝 We finally have tasklists (or TODO lists ;) ) You can now create tasklists in every folder and assign attributes to them.

Here again an overview

• The Delete Files popup can be turned off in the preferences
• Autoplay of videos can be turned off in the preferences as well
• The scrolling state is saved
• The video position is saved
• Projects can now be created directly from the project list
• Colors, layouts and spacing in the UI have been adjusted
• The Compact Mode can be turned on and off with Tab
• In Compact Mode Anchorpoint can be pinned and stays always on top
• The preview page is opened and closed with Space
• Versions and comments load faster
• Fullscreen mode
• Tasklists can be created in folders
• Tasklists can be checked by users
• Attributes show who has checked a task and when
• Attributes can be added to tasklists
• Attributes work on sequence entries

Actions

• DCCs can be started via actions with dedicated enviroment variables
• Actions can be deactivated
• Actions work on multiselection
• Settings (credentials, custom paths to DCCs) entered by the user are stored in a settings store accessible via Python

‍

This update focuses on the Python API. It is now much easier to build user interfaces with Python. A console and automatic reloading of scripts makes Python development much faster.

• Python console
• Python api updates for simple gui building
• Action examples on GitHub
• Full offline functionality (you can edit metadata when being offline)
• Horizontal scrolling in list
• Easier attribute editing in grid view
• A pinned app icon does not create a new instance of Anchorpoint
• Support for alpha channel in videos
