Aug 1, 2025Monthly Summary for 2025-08 (syd711/vpin-studio): Delivered substantial UI enhancements, reliability improvements, and performance optimizations across the project. Key features delivered include Overlay UI Enhancements (separate overlay tab and fix background refreshes) and Highscore UI Enhancements (divider adjustment, auto-expand on layer selection, PauseMenu integration). Card Template Editor improvements refined the template handling, bounds acceptance via ctrl-click, text width adjustments, and preview sizing. In addition, the system benefited from a set of performance optimisations to reduce lag and improve startup times, including general optimisations and specific measures to prevent small lag. The Highscorecard flow was enhanced with reworked preview and marker export to files, images loading alongside data, and layout/layer improvements including two new layers and zoom/positioning controls. Reliability work included stabilizing the locking system, removing unused code, avoiding NPEs, and eliminating double loading. Several bug fixes addressed rendering consistency (palette blending, transparency), test stability, and UI labeling/typos.

Key features included robust PinballY table database parsing, enhanced high-scores card generation with DMD/Topper, and a reworked recording workflow with a dedicated API, multi-monitor support, and optional frontend start when launching games. Major bug fixes improved reliability around backglass settings when B2STableSettings.xml is missing, backglass/tab loading reliability, Windows-1252 locale tests, NPE handling, and VPX path determination. The updates also broadened frontend support with video conversion services for non-Popper frontends, refined media asset handling for PinballX, and macOS client unzip/restart improvements. Collectively, these changes reduce critical incidents, accelerate feature delivery, and enable broader deployment scenarios with stronger cross-platform compatibility. Technologies demonstrated include VPX/FP/System Services integration, INI-driven DMD configuration, multi-monitor recording, dynamic UI columns, robust exception handling, and cross-language locale resilience.
