Release notes

Fixed

• Improved license checking.
• Improved to not ask for "access data from other apps" on every launch.

Fixed

• Importing a clip whose source is a single interleaved stereo audio file no longer fails with "No audio clips were created." Pro Tools was rejecting the import because PT Peek asked for a mono source channel on a stereo file; it now requests the correct left/right channels. This also covers the case where a sample-rate conversion splits the source into separate left/right files on import.

Fixed

• Importing tracks into Pro Tools now preserves the source session's folder hierarchy. Folder tracks were being recreated as plain leaf tracks at the destination's top level, and tracks inside folders ended up as siblings rather than nested.

Changed

• The Import window's Tracks section now visually displays the source folder hierarchy: child tracks are indented under their parent folders, folder rows show a folder icon, and folder names render in bold.

PT Peek 1.1 is a major, free update that adds search filtering, Overview improvements, and usability improvements.

Added

• Zoomable, pannable Overview — horizontal zoom, vertical zoom, zoom reset.
• Resizable Overview height — click bottom of Overview and drag to adjust height.
• Filter by Overview rectangle — drag a rectangle in the Overview to narrow Tracks, Audio Files, and Clips to just what's inside. Click without dragging to clear.
• Click a clip in the Overview to select its row in the Clips section (⌘-click toggles, ⇧-click extends).
• Pinned Overview at the top of the window; only the lower sections scroll.
• Playback indicator — a vertical line tracks inline playback through the Overview.
• Toolbar search and scope picker (⌘F) — filter Tracks, Audio Files, and Clips by name. Matching sections auto-expand and the title reads "N of M". NOTE - Not available n Quick Look window.
• Resizable Name column in Tracks, Audio Files, and Clips.
• Per-file window persistence — each .ptx window remembers its size, zoom, Overview rectangle, open sections, and column widths.
• Waveform double-click to start playback on audio file and clip rows.
• Tracks Section option-click to open/close Tracks, Audio Files, Clips sections.
• Track option-click to open/close all tracks.

Changed

• Files whose media type PT Peek can't play show "Not Available" in the waveform column.

Fixed

• Sessions referencing MXF (and other non-WAV/AIFF) media are now parsed completely.

Added

• Right-click / Control-click → Reveal in Finder is available on the viewer window's title bar, on Recent Sessions rows in the Welcome window, and on a Send Bug Report attachment row.
• Troubleshooting window: a "Restart PT Peek Helper" button when the helper is hung or not running. Kills the stuck helper and re-launches it without needing to log out and back in.
• Viewer window's unlicensed warning banner now has a "Troubleshooting…" button for one-click access to the diagnostics window.
• Import dialogs: the Done panel now always shows a full Import Report — header, source/destination session info, the tracks / clips / audio files the import touched, every Pro Tools operation in plain English ("Create stereo audio track 'Drums' (554 ms)"), and any warnings. Selectable, scrollable, copyable.
• Import dialogs: "Save As…" button on the Done panel writes the on-screen Import Report to a .txt file.

Changed

• Import Tracks to Pro Tools: the post-import warnings list is now a single scrollable text block, so you can sweep across multiple warnings and copy them in one go. Previously each warning was its own row and only one could be copied at a time.
• Text shown in the Import to Pro Tools dialogs (track names, file paths, error messages, transcripts) can now be selected and copied with ⌘C or right-click → Copy.
• Removed the Full Disk Access launch check and the in-app "macOS is blocking PT Peek" alerts. The approach generated a recurring privacy prompt on every launch; being reworked.
• Import to Pro Tools: when the source's sample rate differs from Pro Tools', the dialog now goes straight to the regular import preview with an inline banner explaining the locked Copy + Convert mode. No more separate "Sample Rate Mismatch" page or "Convert and Import" button.
• Import to Pro Tools: a source audio file referenced by multiple tracks (or clips) in one Import is now copied or converted by Pro Tools exactly once instead of being duplicated with a .1, .2, … rename per track.
• Import dialogs: file paths in the list views drop the redundant /Volumes/Macintosh HD/ prefix so the rest of the path has room to fit without head-truncation.

Fixed

• Import to Pro Tools: audio paths under /Volumes/Macintosh HD/ (or any boot-volume firmlink) no longer fail with "No file_id found" mid-import. Pro Tools strips the firmlink prefix when echoing paths back; PT Peek now canonicalizes both sides so the lookup hits.
• Import Clips: selecting a "Stereo" multi-mono clip view (a clip whose .L + .R siblings PT Peek bundled in the UI) now imports as a real stereo clip in Pro Tools. Previously a stereo selection landed as a mono clip with only the .L source.
• Import to Pro Tools: clips with reserved channel-suffix names ("foo.L", "foo.R", "foo.LFE", "foo.Lss", …) no longer get rejected by Pro Tools with "Invalid clip name 'foo.L', consider using 'foo'". The bridge strips the suffix before sending CreateAudioClips regardless of stereo vs mono context.
• Quick Look preview now works for .ptx files stored on external drives. The preview extension was missing the file-access entitlement needed to read files outside the boot volume, so Finder fell back to the generic icon.
• Recent Sessions / Open Recent list stays consistent everywhere. Files opened by drag or from Finder now appear in the File → Open Recent menu without a relaunch. Opening a file from the splash window's "Open a .ptx File…" button now records it as a recent. Clicking an entry in the splash's Recent Sessions list bumps it to the top. "Clear Menu" empties the splash list too.

Fixed

• Audio playback to multi-format devices (Universal Audio Apollo, Pro Tools Aggregate I/O, and similar) that report duplicate L/R channel labels now plays out of the main monitor pair instead of a higher-numbered aux/cue pair that typically has nothing connected.

Changed

• License helper now waits for PACE's LicenseD daemon to come up before attempting license checks. Avoids a hang when LicenseD isn't running yet (briefly at user login, or indefinitely on a misconfigured iLok install).
• Troubleshooting window now distinguishes a "hung" helper from a "not running" one, and Report A Problem submissions now include helper-side startup events from before the app launched — helpful when diagnosing "license not detected" issues.

Changed

• PT Peek Helper waits for PACE system to start.
• Troubleshooting window has more Helper status info.
• Troubleshooting Report A Problem reports more information.

Added

• Audio output menu now has a "Report A Problem…" item that opens Send Bug Report with a diagnostic log of recent audio playback.

Changed

• Improved license status diagnostics.

Fixed

• Session Setup tempo now reads the Manual Tempo value when Pro Tools' Conductor is disabled.

Added

• Help → Troubleshooting now has a Report A Problem… button. Clicking it opens Send Bug Report with a license diagnostic transcript pre-attached.

Fixed

• Import to Pro Tools: Clips not importing correctly when sample rate converted.
• Import to Pro Tools: Track color not processed correctly in some cases.
• Import to Pro Tools: Import with duplicate track name error.
• Session Setup: Interleaved field not reading correctly for some sessions.
• Tracks list: Playlist clips not seen in some cases.

Changed

• Report A Problem… button for Import errors automatically lets you notify us of a problem so we can fix it fast. Thank you, Paul

Added

• Every Import to Pro Tools dialog (success and error) now has a Report A Problem… button. Clicking it opens Send Bug Report with a diagnostic transcript pre-attached as a text file (sample rate, frame rate, session start, full PTSL command/response log) and a context-aware description pre-filled. No more digging in Console.app to send a useful report.

Fixed

• Right-clicking a clip and choosing "Import to Pro Tools…" now imports the selected clip(s) — the same as the File menu command. Previously it ran the audio-files import flow by mistake.

Fixed

• Quick Look preview and "Open With → PT Peek" no longer hang on a spinner when previewing certain large sessions (the parser was getting stuck on a block-size overflow inside the .ptx file).

Fixed

• Incorrect Timecode Rate values displayed in Session Setup.

Fixed

• Export Session Report: the exported PDF was rendering with white text on a white background when macOS was in dark mode. The report now always uses dark text on its white page regardless of the system appearance.

Fixed

• Session Setup now reports the correct frame rate and start time on sessions that the previous parser misread — most visibly some 25 fps sessions and sessions whose timecode starts at non-zero values such as 00:59:30.

Changed

• First public 1.0 release. Same code as the most recent 0.9.0 beta — marketing version bumped to mark general availability.
