MIDI2LR version 6.0.0.0 available for testing

[rsjaffe]

Version 6.0.0.0

New features

• AltOption added to basic tone group. This will make any parameter adjustments act as if the alt or option key were held down. Adobe Lightroom shows special displays in this situation for some adjustments, such as showing clipping.
• New commands:
  • CurveRefineSaturation
  • Point curve blacks or highlights
  • Mask new: subject, sky, background, object, people
  • Mask add: subject, sky, background, object, people
  • Mask subtract: subject, sky, background, object, people
  • Mask interset: subject, sky, background, object, people

Improvements

• Experimental local_Whites2012 and local_Blacks2012 now supported officially by Lightroom as local_Whites and local_Blacks. Profiles with older version of names will still work as they are automatically updated when loaded. Recommend resaving any such profiles after they've been loaded to save with new names.
• Supports Process Version 6.
• Slider increase/decrease now works for library view as well as develop.
• Limits can only be set in Develop module and did not show in other modules when options dialog opened. Now a message is informing the user of the reason.
• Display when pickup fails (controller and Lightroom are out of sync) now explains why you are seeing two values.

Bug fixes

• Improved app stability.
• Fixed error when closing Lightroom while app has profile to save.
• More resilient to unannounced changes in parameter handling in Lightroom.
• Masking toggle fixed.
• Error when profile assigned to masking fixed.
• Translations updated. MIDI2LR uses Adobe strings for many of the translations, and Adobe sometimes changes the key for finding the string, breaking the translation in MIDI2LR.

A thanks to wunditta for their work on many of these issues. I am still reviewing the more complex changes wunditta made for a future release.

Release has been withdrawn. Looks like there's still a problem with the profiles change. I think I see the issue and will look to fix it in the next couple of days.

Well, I have good news and bad news. First the bad news: my home internet is down until at least Saturday so I can't upload the fixed release.

The good news is that I finally figured out what was going on. This was a very difficult bug, compounded by several issues: 1) at times it seemed fixed, then running under different conditions it was broke again, 2) it was a Lightroom error, not a plugin error, which meant the plugin was doing something Lightroom didn't like, but the Lightroom error was vague enough that it wasn't clear what was going on, 3) debugging the situation sometimes caused the error to disappear.

Well, it was a timing issue with Lightroom. Lightroom didn't like how quickly I was calling Lightroom functions without yielding the thread. So I slightly slowed down things with yield calls (you won't notice any difference), and it now appears fixed--I hope. At least it no longer causes errors under conditions under which I consistently was able to elicit errors prior to the fix.

The fix will be uploaded in several days. Thanks for your patience.
