Sequence FM 7.0 RC3 released

Sequence FM 7.0 RC3 has been released.

7.0 RC3 fixes and changes from RC2:

  • Copy and move made from right-click menu: Select entry or select entries by holding CTRL and clicking. Now, choose: “Select for copying or moving” from the right-click menu. Next, go to your location of choice and press either: “Copy to…” or “Move to…”

Copy and move functions read the location from addressbar to complete their actions.
