Pan Mode Added
A new Pan Mode has been added to the toolbar and View menu - when activated you can now pan around your drawing without holding down a keyboard shortcut using the left mouse.
You can temporarily activate this by holding space while left clicking around too!
While in this mode, you won't accidently draw connections or alter connections - these improvements have been ported over to to middle mouse, right mouse, and CTRL/CMD panning too.

Improvements
- IP address supported added to audio and video distributions at the gear level
- Gear's right click menu now has a new Open Reference option - taking you directly to the manufacturer's website for that gear!
- In addition, the right click menus received an upgrade for gear and connections:
- Better organization with separators to make it easier to find items
- Glass effect added
- Several improvements to the default library loading to make it load faster, more intelligently, and less interruptions to your workflow:
- If you have previously downloaded the library, then subsequent updates will be done in the background instead of using the full screen loading page - a new notification will inform you of the progress
- Please note that during this background loading, the Library Browser will be inaccessible until the update is complete
- More intelligent caching of library items during loading - when we make default library updates, only the updated library item categories will be regenerated, while other categories will be updated from the cache, significantly improving default library updates for users using the app while we are actively making changes
- In addition to the above, we now have more control over when we send library updates to the app, reducing cases where users would WIP library items if they are actively using the app while we are making changes
- If you have previously downloaded the library, then subsequent updates will be done in the background instead of using the full screen loading page - a new notification will inform you of the progress
- The Library Browser has disabled animations and received a performance boost when searching, making it faster to find the gear you are looking for
- A new minimum size has been added to Gear Groups, preventing you from making 1x1 pixel size Gear Groups and not noticing by mistake
- When in the various cursor modes (Pan Mode, Gear Groups, or Text Boxes) it's no longer possible to draw connections between gear by mistake
- When clicking inside an empty spot in the drawing, any text boxes (like Grid Size or library search) will be cleared, to help prevent the app still typing in the previous selected input box
- The space bar no longer activates toolbar icons when you focus over them, to help prevent confusion with the new Pan Mode
Bug Fixes
- Fixed expansion card groups not hiding with gear when the layer was marked not visible
- Fixed some security pages not showing the proper messaging on the accounts site
