Falcon Rundown 1.3.15 Changelog
This release introduces a multi-window rundown workspace, personal Saved Layouts and a set of responsive, print and reliability refinements.
Rundown windows
- Open and work in up to eight independent Rundown windows while keeping the project tree visible.
- The first selected rundown fills the workspace. Normal tree navigation replaces the primary window, while Open in new window adds another rundown and switches to Columns.
- Arrange windows as Floating, Grid, Rows or Columns. Floating windows can be moved and resized; tiled windows can be reordered with their move handles.
- Use tabs to focus or restore open windows. Double-click a title bar to maximize or restore it, or use the adjacent minimize, maximize/restore and close controls.
- Choose a separate View for each window: Rundown & Editor, Rundown, Now & Next, or Editor & PDF Script.
Saved Layouts
- Use Save Current Layout… to save a personal window arrangement. Open Manage Saved Layouts… to apply, update, rename, delete or refresh Saved Layouts.
- Store up to 20 Saved Layouts for each user and project. Each layout can contain up to eight rundowns.
- Saved Layouts retain the arrangement mode, which rundowns are open and their order, and Floating position, size and stacking.
- Per-window View choices, active/minimized/maximized state, selected stories, drafts, locks and scroll positions are intentionally not stored.
- Unavailable rundowns are skipped on apply, and the current workspace remains unchanged if none of the saved rundowns are available.
Responsive rundown and BREAK refinements
- The advanced timing footer changes into compact and horizontal formats as a story list becomes narrower, keeping timing values accessible without consuming the full window height.
- BREAK timing information stays beside the BREAK title at narrower widths and only moves below it when space is genuinely limited.
- BREAK names such as Break 1 and Break 2 can now be edited while remaining the default names for newly created BREAK rows.
- PDF exports use compact BREAK headings and values capped at 10 pt, follow smaller selected print sizes, keep headers content-sized and respect the rundown numbering mode in script print ranges.
- The story editor duration control is labelled Text and matches the adjacent header controls.
Reliability
- Window replacement and Saved Layout application respect pending writes, open dialogs and unsaved-change guards before closing sessions.
- Workspace messages and polling use stricter session, origin, window and revision checks to avoid stale updates.
- The scheduler schema and worker contract now define a separate identifier for each recurring duplicate-rule occurrence. This lets a compatible worker keep retries of the same occurrence as no-ops while allowing a later occurrence to duplicate the same source rundown again.
