Version 0.9.5.6.04 – Changes
* Note: this version adds a preference file to the user’s Home Library > Preferences folder.
* Note: these lastest versions have undergone minimal testing due to lack of time on my part.
* New: Open recent file menu item (saved as preference file in home preferences [a binary file, not a .plist]). Optional number of files to remember, option to add merged files or not clear menu item option (menu item: File > Records….)

Changed:
1) Event & Span Record windows Name text edit field made wider for longer names.
2) Help menu items moved to FTLCwindows menu to save menubar space.

* Note: This version is currently only released on SchisaProductions Update page; it has been tested little; feedback welcome if you have problems.

Fixes:

2) Sometimes hash mark label chopped into start/end labels, fixed.
3) In some recent version of FTLC, merging files began bombing the program, fixed.

Changes:
Span placement set down a little for two line axis.

Timelines picture windows (view of timelines going up, down, etc.) updated for two line Axis display options. (from timeline window, menu Options > Picture…)
