Added: Keybinding can be set for the "Move Origin to Crosshair" action. Go to Edit > Buttons > Edit Mode > Move Origin to Crosshair. This actions will also set the origin point of an Object that is actively being edited.

Improved: Pinned status of Instances listed in the Animation panel now get saved to project.
Fixed: Animation context-menu; "Apply interpolation" action wasn't implemented.
Fixed: When selecting an Actor from the Actors List in the Theatre panel, the Actions List wasn't immediately updated.
Fixed: Discrete interpolation of animation keyframes wouldn't persist the entire timespan of the keyframe.
Fixed: When UV Tilesize has a dimension of 1 in either x or y, UV animation frame dimensions would be 0 when creating new frames.
Fixed: Holding shift while using the Gizmo to rotate an instance would cause the Gizmo to move if hovering over other instances.
Fixed: When choosing Deselect All Objects from the context-menu then selecting another object, the gizmo would be positioned at the previously selected object.
Fixed: Deselecting vertices of tiles that were facing away from camera would remove the tile from the selection group even if some vertices were still selected.

v1.9.4

v.1.9.4 (July 30, 2022)

Added: Mouse position in UV panel.

Changed: Default Keybinding for Centering crosshair to selection in UV panel is now Shift+C.
Fixed: Exporting gltf/dae objects directly from the Scene panel wouldn't work properly due to a regression in the code.
Fixed: On Mac, if Meta key is being held down, keyup events for other keys will not fire. To work around this, releasing the Meta key will now release all keys (keys that aren't modifier keys).
Fixed: When eyedropping other colors, it wouldn't highlight the corresponding color in the color palette.
Fixed: Using an altered display size would cause rendered images to render at an incorrect size.
