  • Found 0 bug found after a release shipped; fixed in a point release or the next one
  • Candidate 0 recommended in a spike or session log; owner to choose
  • Community please test 0 built and in /use; a Discord post gives the steps and the expected result and asks people to try it on their own devices, files or know-how
  • Decision Time 0 a decision, check, file, key, flag or go only you can give; folds into the list once answered

DecisionLC.11 Link to LC.11 Media and entertainment

Character animation and production tracking (Maya, Flow Production Tracking): leave out, or fold into SuperCadCraft’s scope. Suggestions 2026-10-22: Asked on /suggest (#766, Oct 17): entertainment lighting plots, mainly 2D (fixture symbols, rigging plots), 3D a lower priority; the usual program is about £1,620 a year with no way to own it. Track SX 2026-10-27: the lighting-plot ask (#766) moved to SU.766; this item keeps animation and production tracking.
