Beta4 is up.
This beta includes some fixes, and redesigned tool icons. Like with the new object icons, the tool icons are now unicolored. Let me know what you think of the new design. The new select tool icon may be a bit cryptic :-k.
I plan to update the mouse cursor tool icons as well, to match the new pencil, eraser and scalpel tool icons.
There is no command for automatically sorting the plugins according to type or developer. You can sort them alphabetically by selecting multiple objects, and using the right-click menu. Other than that, you’ll need to manually drag-reorder the plugins the way you desire. You can also manually organize them into sub-folders.
If you create the copies by Ctrl+dragging with the mouse, you can press the Ctrl key repeatedly (while dragging) to toggle between dropping phantom or unique copies. The mouse cursor changes between ‘+’ (unique) and an arrow (phantom).
Beta3 is up.
All the object icons have been redesigned so that they are unicolored. This means there shouldn’t be any visibility issues with different color setups. I’ve also fixed a lot of issues with the select and inactive select coloring various places in the UI.
Let me know what you think of the new object icons.
By coincidence, this was changed in the latest 2.37 release. Check out the release note:

You’ll need to wait for the 2.37 Free version, or you could try the 2.37 demo to check if the new bypass behaviour is what you want.
Unfortunately I currently don’t have an audio interface that allows selecting among different clock sources through ASIO. I’m using an RME hammerfall interface, and all clock source settings are handled in the RME control panel. I just checked that it worked when using SPDIF as clock source.
Check your E-MU control panel. Perhaps you can select SPDIF as clock source there, or at least see an indication whether the SPDIF input is present.
Also check that your SPDIF input is actually 44100 Hz. If not, then try selecting 48000 as samplerate in Podium.

– Love the new pin icon, tabs, inspector panel and editor/mixer headers. I could list a few more places that would look nice with a soft gradient like that. 😉
Then, by all means, list the places. 😉
Also, as you know from my constant complaining about this (:blush:), most icons become invisible if you use both bright text and bright selection colors (or both dark). As you’re working on them now, maybe it’s the right time to take care of this.
Please refresh my mind with an example. The new icons I’m designing are all colorized with the text or selection text color. For example, the previous pin icon was a photographic image that wasn’t colorized, so it could be difficult to see with some bright color setups. I’m going to redesign the edit tool icons so they can be colorized as well.

Nice changes elsewhere. Especially the show hide icons. Not sure if the folders fit in with the UI any more as a result.
By “show hide icons”, do you mean the new half-circle images for the old +/- buttons in the listboxes?
Maybe they (folders) should only appear if there is more than one listing / item to hide or similar. :-k
I’m not sure I understand. I assume you are talking about the folder icons shown in the file browser. Do you want those to disappear if the folder is empty? You wouldn’t know if it is a file or folder then.

Changing font size does not work here..
If you mean the font size setting in the font selection dialog, then that is ignored by Podium. I’m using the standard Windows font dialog, and I can’t hide the font style and size settings in this dialog. I don’t think it is worth the time to implement my own font selection dialog.
The font size is determined by the Default button size and Scale font size to button size settings.
Beta2 is up. All plugin editors should now resize properly according to font size. Next up, I’m going to make the size of slider/fader knobs adjust to font size.
Do you need the +4 GB memory for specific plugins?
Are all the plugins you use available as 64 bit versions as well?
There are utilities such as the one linked below, that allows 64-bit plugins (with +4 GB RAM access) to be used in 32-bit hosts.

When I make a 64 bit version of Podium, it will at least initially only work with 64 bit VST plugins.
