Yes, confirmed, I have already added back the preview, and improved it by adding a "sub-button" to invoke the preview instead of hovering the cursor.  I am a little confused about the release notes because I thought that I had added it back in the current beta but I don't see a mention of it in the release notes.  The next release will come out this Tuesday.  It will include the improved previewer button and it will also include a new UI mode for the design view window called "2D Lock" that moves all the position names to a ribbon at the bottom of the design window and lays them out to minimize overlap, similar to the "old Finale Business".

I like the new filter behaviour. It is easier to handle, has a better user experience and you can better detect the current settings.

6. Removed the preview window that would appear if you hover over an effect icon in the effect window at tjust the right place, on the theory that it was more annoying than appreciated.   A big request, in the next release of the program to return the ability to preview the video effect. If anyone is annoyed by this feature, make it possible to turn this option on and off in the settings. Thanks.  

  The latest beta holds the menus open without requiring shift-click, to make multi-select easier, and it creates clickable and deletable buttons ("hotdogs") to reduce the number of clicks required to switch between different colors or other attributes.  Does anyone have feedback on these changes, positive or negative?

Hi Pyro_3200000, sorry I didn't see this before now.  Why would you need to change the pre-fire time on any of the instant cake slices?

Hi Kevin, The difference between IPS and VA mostly come down to a matter of personal preference. I see online that VA has better contrast ratio but worse overall range/gamut compared to IPS. There won't really be a huge difference, especially if you are viewing your monitor in a room that is 'normally lit'.  If you are setting up your viewing environment so that the room is very dark, then the better blacks on VA panels might be nicer for viewing our simulations, since fireworks displays are mostly on a black background.   The big thing to watch for in the future is when HDR1000 monitors become generally available. There are a few out there, but they are pretty expensive:  https://displayhdr.org/certified-products/#tab-1000   I haven't looked in a long time until today, but I see that there are some being sold on Amazon now.  They're pricey, but perhaps within your budget if "high end nvidia" means 30x0 :).   Last time I looked, everything out there with HDR1000 was $6k+.   I don't have one yet, but when I get my hands on one, it should only be a little bit of work to support it.  I implemented ACES tonemapping in our graphics engine, and it has defined output profiles for standard SRGB displays, and 1000 nit displays, but nothing in between.   (The DisplayHDR specs below 1000 are 'nice', I have an HDR400 monitor right now, but they basically mean "really good SRGB monitors", they are not a fundamental difference like the HDR1000+ specs are.)  

Oh sure. I could move one by one. Thank you for telling me cause I was a bit ...  stucked haha

Hi Rovira, I think I understand. You to select and move multiple songs and all the events (on the selected songs) simultaneously, is that right? Is there any reason you can't move the songs individually?    

The thing is when I do this, even if i'm selecting more than one song at the time it only let me select the effects for the first song I selected, but the effects for the rest of the songs do not move when I drag along the different songs I selected. Only the effects on the first song move automatically when I move the songs together, the effects for the other songs keep on the same place they were.
