A new patch release for RV 2024 is now available! This 2024.2.2 patch release contains bug fixes as well as a small usability feature.
Improvements
Added two new ways to control how RV loads image files, giving users and studios finer control over sequence detection behavior [SG-41979]:
- Alt/Option drag-and-drop: Hold the Alt key (or Option on macOS) while dragging and dropping files into RV to force them to load as individual images instead of a sequence.
- RV_NO_SEQUENCE_PATTERN environment variable: Set this variable to a to regular expression. Any files containing this pattern in their name will automatically be loaded as individual images, never as part of a sequence.
Example: export RV_NO_SEQUENCE_PATTERN=“_[vV][0-9]+.jpg$”
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a longstanding issue where pressing the Q key alone would quit RV, contrary to what the application menus indicated (which showed Cmd+Q / Ctrl+Q as the quit shortcut). [SG-41538]
- Resolved an issue where the file save dialog incorrectly displayed – in the permissions field instead of rw when exporting to a network drive on Windows, causing export operations to fail with a permission error even when the user had the necessary write access. [SG-41548]
- Fixed an issue where the presentation mode using a second monitor on Linux would show the desktop in the background [SG-40407]
- Resolved a regression introduced in RV 2024.2.1 where playing .avi media files exported from Maya as playblasts with “None” encoding caused RV to crash immediately. [SG-40093]
- Fixed an issue around the metadata of some MXF file flavors that could not be read by RV. [SG-39404]
