AYON 1.16.8 - Enhanced Comments and Descriptions

A brand new editor for comments and descriptions, new ways to reuse comments, and a handful of fixes.

✍️ New Comment Editor

Comments, descriptions and text cells now share one new editor that is quicker to write in and stores plain markdown. For example:

  • Slash menu: Type / to add headings, lists, checklists, quotes, code blocks, images, videos and mentions.

  • Emoji: Type :tada: and pick from your most used emoji.

  • Embeds: Put a YouTube link on its own line and it becomes a player in the comment.

  • Descriptions: Mention users, tasks and versions in a description, the same as in comments.

🎞️ Link Comments to Frames

In a review, a new frame button in the comment editor ties your comment to the exact frame it is about. For example:

  • Single frame: Click the button to link the comment to the current frame.

  • Range: Stretch the marker to link a range of frames instead. Clicking the button again removes the link.

  • Jump to it: A posted comment shows a frame chip. Clicking it jumps the player to that frame, and sets the in and out points for a range.

📋 Duplicate Comments

Pick Duplicate to new comment from the comment menu to copy a comment into your own comment box, ready to adapt and post. For example:

  • Client feedback to artist notes: Copy a client's comment, reword it, choose a category and post it for the artist.

  • Attachments come along: Images, attachments and annotations are copied, and the original comment is never changed.

  • No names passed on: The author's name is left out, and an "Original comment" link points back to the source instead.
