First off -- I finally had the opportunity to program a show with the new software--loving all of the new features. That being said, i noticed a few things that behave a little differently than I expect... not sure if they are bugs, or feature requests.
1) It's great to be able to select the various columns in the cue list now, and interact with flags directly via that. However, when I click/select a time column, it posts "focus"/"color"/"beam" to the command line, rather than "focus time"/"color time"/"beam time". There are plenty of other touchy ways to get the category on the command line, would be nice to be able to touch the beam time column and give it a time without having to hit time first.
2) I noticed this wasn't documented in help yet--so maybe it's a work in progress, but when using expand to rearrange workspaces, it would be nice if the change was temporary and not permanent. Currently if I expand a quarter of the screen to the right, and then collapse it again, the part of the screen that was covered up is reset to the default choose a display screen, rather than remembering whatever tab I had in the section before.
3) This is more of a feature request, but it would be nice to be able to resize the quadrants of window individually, rather than the drag resize effecting everything that is split on the screen.
4) Would it be possible to get a "lock" ish button for the direct select screens, that hides all of the select options on the right side (and lets the DS's expand into that space). They take up a lot of space that I don't really use once I have my screen setup, thinking kind of like how the magic sheet edit controls work.
I think that's it for now, the new software makes programming much much easier, I'm looking forward to seeing what happens with upcoming versions!

An expansion of #1 - Love the term "touchy"!
A touch action should be defined for nearly every area or object on every screen. Exactly what should happen for each area can/will be debated, some function is possible so pick one.

1. When Focus, Color or Beam posts to the command line you need not press [Time] to change the category time. You should be able to just hit Focus [2] [Enter] and change the time to 2.

Just tried, it posts time when you give it a number. Seems like a display bug? I just saw it post Color and assumed it was another way to get the Color keyword onto the command line.

the behaviour of expand hasn't changed. it already did move content away from the target display.
it's on the list to additionally have a temporary way of expanding.
