v1.5.0 - No Comment

Locatorator 1.5.0 now extracts VFX IDs from marker comments and ignores additional strings in comments, causing new and cool headaches for you!

Marker Comparison

• Markers will now be compared strictly by their VFX IDs; additional characters in comments are ignored
• VFX ID validation relaxed to allow incidental whitespace before VFX ID
• VFX ID validation relaxed to allow postfixes to VFX IDs such as MJ1090_pt1 or JF2040-Alt
  • Specifically: Allows for VFX ID followed by non-whitespace, non-alphanumeric separator (-,_,:, etc), followed by any additional alphanumeric characters

Marker Change List

• Exported marker change list comments now begin with extracted VFX ID

Gooey Changes

• Timecode columns now using fixed width font for easier visual comparison
• The inevitable "Shot was found more than once" message now indicates which marker list is the problem

Reviving this old stinky code for my Fufu.

Improved Marker Support

Dependencies

  • Will plan to migrate to nuitka later
• Windows runner: Install nsis via choco as it's no longer included by default (neat thanks)
