Improvements

System & UI

  • Removed pre-installed plugins from the Loupedeck software.
    • This change finalizes the transition to move all the plugins to the Loupedeck Marketplace. 
    • After the onboarding wizard, users will be guided through a new plugin installation process to get plugins for their applications.
    • Removing extra plugin installations makes the application start-up time faster
  • Plugins are now automatically installed when the user installs a profile that requires one, or when a compatible application profile is created from the “add application” menu.
  • Renamed “Dynamic Mode” toggle to “Adapt to App” and changed the name of the associated action in Loupedeck Device Actions to “Adapt to App On/Off”.
  • Updated default system profiles for Loupedeck CT, Live, Live S, Razer Stream Controller and Stream Controller X devices.
  • Redesigned button indicator on assigned Control Center and Dynamic folder actions.

Icons & Icon Editor

  • Text is no longer displayed on the dial screen if an icon image is present.
    • Either the image or the text can be shown in the dial icons, but not both.
    • This fixes the issue where the icon text was cut off in the middle for several adjustments, for example, for the OS and Lightroom Classic plugins. 
  • All system plugin action icons have been updated to SVG format. This enables smooth scaling of images without the image getting pixelated.

MacOS

  • Removed the option to downgrade the Logi Plugin Service. To install an older version of the Loupedeck software, the user must first remove the existing Logi Plugin Service installation.
  • Optimized the software installer size.
  • Clean up old components in the  Mac app bundle after installing a new version.

SDK

  • A symbol can now be added to an action and will be displayed on the left side of the action in the action panel listing.

  • Fixed bug that caused the action icon to go missing after using undo after resizing the icon.
  • Fixed bug where the icons for the multi-state action were displayed incorrectly or displayed the previous icon.
  • Fixed bug where the toggle icons displayed the incorrect icons from other assigned actions.
