Youlean Loudness Meter 2 - V2.5.2 - April 25, 2022 update

[Youlean]

Just updated to 2.4rc1 from 2.2 and this really feels super smooth now. Good job!

A small bug I found is when I wanted to save the preset: it did not react on the + button (worked before in 2.2).
I had to first resize the window, then the + button worked again.

Another small bug happens when I click on the drop down for the preset box. A black bar appears and does not go away from the menu even when I close + reopen it (screenshot attached).

I guess it isn't possible yet to export the presets/meter settings?
Would be very useful to be able to export all settings and load them on another computer.

Hm, it seems that I can not reproduce that + bug. Can you always reproduce it?

I was thinking about + button not working. The menu bug is now fixed.

Ah ok. It was happening on an instance saved with the 2.2 version. Can't reproduce it now either since I have updated to 2.4 everywhere. No big issue for me, since the workaround is there to resize the window.

I think I have fixed some small bugs since that build. So you should update anyway. V2.4.0 is the correct version.

Has the price increased? I was going to buy the pro and i seem to remember it being less. Anyways still good value!

[sinkmusic]

This is the regular price. There was a Black Friday discount so you might remember that.

[Youlean]

Thank you for this nice update !

No problem.

Just wanted to say thanks, that you implemented my request to have foldable menus for the loudness presets.
But still better would be to be able to leave them folded by default when I have folded them once. Otherwise I need to fold them again on each start. Do you think this will be possible?
