Power Studio version 1.18.6

Power Studio version 1.18.6 is now available. This maintenance update focuses on download, API and platform reliability, remote and multi-studio workflows and mix editing and voice tracking, the kind of behind-the-scenes work that keeps production machines predictable. It is a sensible update for stations that want current components, fewer edge cases and a stable day-to-day workflow.

Power Studio users can download version 1.18.6 from the download-page. The full release notes are listed below.

Playout
Release 1.18.5 introduced a bug where, when switching to Automation mode, the players sometimes incorrectly displayed a currently playing track moving to the Automation channel. The playout continued to play on the player's original channel and switched to the Automation channel only when the next track started, as it should. This has been fixed in this release.

Playlist
When a track is being played in PFL and it has been dragged to a new location, sometimes the item at the "old location" would not play though PFL when clicked immediately afterwards. This has been fixed.

The playlist is now always scaled to fill all available width when opening a Playlist screen.

Mix editor
When an intro of a track is trimmed past the end of the previous track, that track is no longer placed at the end of the previous track, but is placed at the original start next position.
