FreeVideo 0.4.9

[KBRASK]

0.4.9: Quality levels are reworked: Medium is one pass of 8 steps, and High and Max use step caches to finish much sooner; decoding on Windows reads ahead earlier on slow drives, and the editor handles ranges, splits and text tracks more reliably.

• Quality levels: Medium is one pass of 8 steps; High and Max run 20 steps with step caches and finish much sooner than plain 20 steps.
• Decoding on Windows: read-ahead is sized by physical memory and starts earlier on slow drives, so the end of a run waits less for the disk.
• When Windows runs out of virtual memory, in any system language, FreeVideo now retries the generation automatically in a fresh process and reports a memory shortage if it still fails.
• The progress estimate counts reference images, so requests with reference images show a closer total time from the start.
• Editor: dragging a range's left edge to the start of the timeline no longer pushes its right edge later; splitting a sped-up or reversed part keeps the fade-in only on the first half and the fade-out only on the second.
• Editor: drag-selecting parts is smooth again on timelines with many parts.
• Editor text: clicking the side Content box right after pressing T keeps the new text track, and dropping text onto a locked text track says the track is locked.
• Long videos: each part's description can also be edited in a larger window.
• Chat: when a conversation is full, the notice appears once under the message and its button starts a new chat instead of retrying.
• Export: the sizes offered in the export dialog are rounded the same way as the saved work.
• Diagnostic reports record how much of the graphics card other programs were using during each sampling step.
• Launcher: when the browser cannot be opened automatically, the message says to click Copy address and open it in a browser, in Chinese as well. Canvas margin labels stay readable and aligned. Nodes: width, height, duration and seed have Chinese labels.
