I'd like to start some feedback discussion here about the latest PD 8 Update 2704.
The developer team still didn't get some massive application bugs, which are still present even after installing the latest update.
From my point of view there are:
1) Video-Thumbnails in DVD menu designer can't be switched off any more.
That's so annoying, especially because in version 7 that was still possible!
Was so handy to get a slim menu with only text in it, so you could get many chapters on one page for instance.
That's quite a slap in one's face
2) Chapter thumbnails always get kicked out when any changes are done in your project.
For instance, I just changed the volume of one audio clip. After that, all my chapter thumbnails were back on default, means first frame of the clip hanging below the chapter mark.
So you can make yourself a bunch of work in vain if you forget to define chapter thumbs at the very last point of your work, e.g. right before rendering
To both issues I opened an inquiry at CL support yesterday - we'll see what comes out...
How is your experience with that? Or do you know any other bugs which should be fixed asap?
Regards,
Tom
