We’re pleased to release QLab 4.6, free for all v4 license holders. This release is focused on stability and security, but we couldn’t resist throwing in a few new features as well.
An issue where Video cues with integrated fade curves could cause the timeline view to crash.
A small issue with text fields which is far too complex to explain succinctly, and far too boring to explain in detail.
Workspaces can now have an arbitrary number of Network cue destination patches defined in workspace Settings > Network.
Clicking on the continue column in the cue list will now show a popup menu showing the continue mode options. This is instead of clicking to cycle through the available settings, and should help prevent accidentally editing this property due to a stray click.
Support for batch editing MIDI cues.
Enhancements to the Target Cue, including support for Fancy Paste, a default name, and proper undo support.
Workspace OSC methods /workspace/{id}/settings/audio/outputChannelNames and /workspace/{id}/settings/mic/outputChannelNames which allow getting custom channel names from audio and mic output patches.
Cue OSC methods /cue/{cue_number}/secondTriggerAction and /cue/{cue_number}/secondTriggerOnRelease.

The "Send" button in the Settings tab of the Network cue inspector is now enabled when multiple cues are selected, but disabled when one or more of the selected cues is disarmed.
In the Timeline view of Group cues, integrated fade curves for cues with slices now draw more accurately.
The Timecode window now restores its location and visibility when QLab quits and restarts.
An issue that could cause QLab to become unresponsive while working with splits on multi-screen video surfaces.
A crash that could occur when editing properties of a running Fade cue.
Tabbing out of a batch edit "mixed" text field in the Inspector no longer clears the value for the selected cues.
Undo functionality now works in the Inspector while typing in Notes, MIDI cue SysEx Message, and Network cue OSC and UDP Message fields.
An issue that could cause video playback to drop frames momentarily while generating thumbnail images for the inspector for other Video cues.
The audio levels matrix now shows the correct number of decimal places on all versions of macOS.
A cosmetic issue related to clicking-and-dragging on audio level fields.
Dragging Video, Text, and Camera cue surfaces in the Display & Geometry tab creates one undo item per complete drag and drop.
Dragging a slider in the color picker of the Text cue inspector is now smoother.
The revert, undo, and redo functionality of the Light dashboard, which were broken in 4.5.
Opening certain kinds of workspaces with certain kinds of light submasters was extremely slow. Now: much better.
Scrolling now works in the UDP message text field of the Network cue inspector.
A workspace with a Network patch set to use a specific network interface no longer appears to be set to "Automatic" when opened on another machine that does not have the same network interface name.
A crash that could occur when drawing audio waveforms in the Timeline tab.
