DramaQueen BETA
Thank you for your interest in the “Open BETA” program. There is currently no BETA version available of the coming DramaQueen release.
Advantages and disadvantages of a BETA version
- You can start using the new features now.
- You can take influence: Your feedback helps us putting on the last tweaks.
- You can use the PRO features for free during the beta phase. :)
- Bugs may surface which impact your workflow.
- When you have an important deadline coming up you should not install the BETA.
Important information about 4.0.0 BETA
- During the BETA phase, DramaQueen starts directly in dark mode for demo purposes. However, dark mode can be changed to ‘light’ in the view menu or in the program settings.
- A few partial functions and optimizations are currently missing. For example, radio plays and stage plays cannot yet be imported and converted in the first step. In dark mode, individual colors still need to be adjusted. When revising with AI, the formatting of the text elements is not yet retained when the revised text is inserted into the Text panel. And of course, there may still be a few small bugs hidden in the BETA.
- If you want to go back to the current version 3.7.3, you can find the installer here on the regular download page. You can go back to version 3 at any time without any problems.
General tips for working with BETA versions
- Keep the last version of your documents from before upgrading to the BETA as separate files. The easiest way to do this is to save your document to a new file when saving it for first time with the BETA (use Save as… and not just Save). But if you want to be absolutely sure, just make a copy of the folder containing your DramaQueen documents.
- Should DramaQueen crash, always send the crash report. It contains the error log (the chain of program functions calling each other leading to the crash). Having the error log greatly improves our ability to fix the bug. In case there are certain steps which lead to the error, explain these steps in the feedback field. Keep sending more error logs even if you think you hit the same error again.
- A parallel installation two different DramaQueen versions is not recommended and is not easily possible either.
- If there happens to be a bigger problem, which surfaces with your workflow or only on your computer, you can revert back to the last official version, by simply downloading the DramaQueen installer and overwriting the BETA when installing. Make sure we know about the problem (use the Help -> Send feedback feature or write us to feedback@dramaqueen.info), so that it is fixed in the next BETA or in the final release at the latest.
