Enhancements
Export Audio dialog:
The last used custom export path now persists with the project
CTRL+click the file path button to reset path to the default
Track Folder:
You can now optionally specify if track folders should automatically expand when moving a track into them. To do so, click the Track view Options menu and select Expand Folder after Moving to Folder.
VST Scan:
The following new path has been added to the default scan locations: %LOCALAPPDATA%/Programs/Common/VST3/
This path is now recommended as part of the VST3 specification, in order to facilitate using plugins on systems without Admin rights as well as to support multiple users on the same PC.
Key Bindings:
Mute [UnMute] all tracks, Solo [UnSolo] all tracks, and Arm [UnArm] all tracks can now be assigned to keyboard shortcuts in Edit > Preferences > Customization - Keyboard Shortcuts
