Interaction Previews

This release adds Interaction Previews. Previously you had to click a button to show the contents of an interaction. This was cumbersome.
Now you get to see a preview of the interaction by hovering over them in the timeline.
A couple of small bugfixes have also been done.

v0.9.13-beta

This release has a couple of small bug fixes since 0.9.12, but no new features.

Better ExplorerPanel, mandatory interactions

• Better ExplorerPanel (the panel where you choose files on disk)
  • Show thumbnails for images
  • Show preview on hover for images
  • Allow zooming
• Mandatory interactions. User can't progress beyond a mandatory interaction if it hasn't been opened yet
• Animations for unseen interactions
• Bugfixes
• UI and UX improvements
• Performance improvements

Starting from this version, we are using an installer. You won't have to manually extract zip-files anymore. Unfortunately, Microsoft Smartscreen does not trust installers straight away. So until Microsoft does, click on "More Information" in the notice you get while installing.

Multiple choice images & import and export

This release adds the following features:

• Multiple choice images
• Import and export: make it easier to collaborate by allowing a "minimal" export. The 360 video is not exported, making project sizes much smaller

Quality of life changes

• Show local disks and special folders in the explorer panel
• Highlight current row in the timeline
• Interaction points need to be active for at least 1 second. Previously, you could make an interaction point last so shortly that it became "invisible" in the timeline
• Change timeline item button visibility. Prevents a number of bugs
• The Esc button now closes most pop up windows.

Multiple choice areas & interaction tags

This release add the following features:

• Multiple choice areas. Define multiple areas, only one is the correct answer to the question.
• Interaction tags. Interactions can now have a tag. Tags are coupled to a color and a shape.

Quality of life changes

• Can resize Timeline horizontally
