Thanks to all madmapper users’s feedbacks MadMapper has been updated to version 1.6.2

Registred users can download the latest version from the yourspace page: http://www.madmapper.com/yourspace

FIXED:

Fix: Syphon activation/deactivation needed a restart
Fix: feedback was no more resetting the filters
Fix: Detect if we are using an intel card and if so use 0×10000 to convert for float to int within the shader. Otherwise use 0xFFFF as before.
Fix: Crash when reloading projects with surfaces with empty names
Fix: when reloading a file it was possible to select a projector while being on the surface tab
Fix: Subnet/universe should be ignored when using a Usb DMX output
Fix: Badly interaction between Surfaces, Fixtures and Syphon
Fix: Scanning for Enttec Pro devices on usb-serial ports could be problematic with some strange USB-serial hardware connected (only retry opening failed ports when opening preferences dialog)

ADDITION:
Improvement: Added new setting in the preferences to be able to export the input/output without the surface names.
Improvement: Fixture params control (luminosity widget was not linked and increased slider count)

MadMapper Registred Users can now remotely deauthorize MadMapper online from the Yourspace page.

Warning!

After all possible de authorizations for the current year,  the end user won’t be able to activate MadMapper before one Year.

The Standard Deauthorization procedure remains the same:

If you need to authorize Modul8 on a different computer and you have already used authorizations you must de-authorize Modul8 from one of the computers BEFORE
FROM MODUL8 SOFTWARE .

The Standard Deauthorization process remains within the MadMapper software.
You can deauthorize MadMapper as follows:

1. Open MadMapper, click at the MadMapper Menu (beside the apple icon)
2. Choose from the list ” De-authorize MadMapper…”
3. You will have then a window asking your admin password from your computer, if you do not have a password then click OK.
4. The deauthorisation will finish and a new window will appear on MadMapper : “The authorization was successfully removed”.
Click ‘OK’ or wait, MadMapper will quit and you will be able to install MadMapper on a new machine with the same licence.
