IMPROVED 02
Clearer refusals and hovers
Clearer hovers on ALEXA heads: the CAP password state, channel number, connected remotes, audio signal, the FIBER badge and the setup-load help. The Panasonic IP-change hint reads 'The camera takes IP changes in the first 20 min after power-on.' The FR7 shutter note says to set speed / angle on the camera; Scanny sends Auto Shutter on/off.
Help, alerts and Activity lines say what Scanny does
Help text, alerts and Activity lines now say what Scanny does or what you see. An unknown setting or command reads 'The camera reports this setting as unknown.' The LPS-1 TSL help reads 'The switcher's TSL index must match this camera's CAM CH.' The CNS chip reads CNS N/A, CNS OFF says it ends RCP control, and on air it reads 'Scanny holds CNS while on air'. An untested Reactor version reads 'Scanny hasn't bench-tested Reactor …'. Nothing Scanny sends has changed.
FIXED 14
Return in SHOW opens the SHOW cursor's camera
With SHOW on while the Wall is in CHECK, Return now opens the camera under the SHOW cursor, and Space no longer ticks a CHECK box on a camera you can't see. Nothing is sent.
ALEXA tally in SHOW matches the camera page
An ALEXA whose link went stale now reads ON AIR? · STALE instead of its last tally, and is never drawn as the PGM camera. Tally 3 (Record) reads as on air, and a tally Scanny hasn't read reads ON AIR?, the way the ALEXA page treats it. Display only.
FR7 tally in SHOW matches the camera page
When the FR7 page can't call a camera off air (its tally is driven from outside, or REC hasn't been read), the SHOW cell now reads ON AIR? with the same reason instead of off air. A rolling FR7 gets the on-air focus ring. Display only.
SHOW tally and link ages tick every second
SHOW works out tally and link age once a second, so a read older than 5 s turns ON AIR? on time and a camera that stops answering doesn't keep its last tally. Display only.
Panasonic tally age counts from the last read
SHOW and CMD+K now count a Panasonic's tally and link age from the last read, not the last change, so a steady camera no longer reads ON AIR? and an amber link age all the time.
CMD+K: Return runs a row of what you typed
A new search starts at its first row, and Return works out the new list before it runs a row, so it never runs a row from the previous list. Every row still goes through its camera's own checks.
CMD+K tags stay current
While CMD+K is open, its tags and air words are worked out again every second, so a camera that goes on air stops reading SENDS. An ALEXA with no link or a stale link reads ON?. HELD follows the same rule as SHOW: a camera you unlocked isn't shown HELD, and an FR7 held by the CNS bridge is.
SHOW takes plot numbers that load late
A camera seen before its CCU number loaded now takes the number when it arrives, so a digit jump reaches it. Its slot stays where it is until REFREEZE. A Sony camera whose model isn't known yet shows the FR7 values in the table under 1100 pt.
Delete and quit always quits
If Scanny can't remove everything (for example a locked file), it now says why and still quits, removing what it can again while quitting, so the running app can't write back what was already removed.
Check for updates OFF stays off
A check still in flight when you switch Check for updates OFF no longer brings the pill back. The request now sends User-Agent: Scanny instead of the build number and macOS version.
What's New shows this beta's notes
A beta now shows its own notes even when the bundled changelog lists the 1.1.0 release above it.
Revoking a tested Reactor version sticks
A Revoke in Settings and an RCP test saving its result at the same moment can no longer bring the revoked version back at the next launch.
SHOW keeps FR7 and Panasonic tally current
With SHOW on, the Wall reads every FR7 and Panasonic every 3 s, so a cell no longer turns ON AIR? · READ n s between reads. With SHOW off, the Wall reads them every 10 s, as before. These are status reads only, with no setting changes; with SHOW on they go out every 3 s instead of every 10 s.
CMD+K shows ON? for an ALEXA whose tally Scanny hasn't read
In CMD+K, an ALEXA whose tally Scanny hasn't read now reads ON?, the way SHOW reads ON AIR? · TALLY ?. Before, it read PGM while the red lamp was off. With the red lamp on, it reads PGM. Display only.
