Argus updated to v1.59

Hello All,

Argus has been updated to v1.59 today.

Another update to Argus today:
-Fix to count events which failed to add the number of Set Modulator events to the overall total.
-Removed 'Quarter Pi' and 'Half Pi' shortcuts from the Modulator depth context menu. The setting of Pi, with Half and Double options, can do this.
-Supressed the warning about optimal splitting of tracks with Kill events as Kills don't normally affect splitting.
-Confirmation is asked for when starting a render if some sections or events lie beyond the To Frame.

Argus is free to use for small films, with a DLC upgrade to unlock the power to create long and complex films. Find Argus here:
