The changes have been added to mohoscripting.com.

and the associated new channel identifiers have also been added to the relevant page.

Hopefully, by now, no one should be using the channel numbers -- apart from the View / Timeline Channels function which still needs to use numerical identifier values.
The impact of this is that if you have made changes to which channels you want to see in the timeline, you will probably find that you need to reset these at every new release where channel codes change.

From the next release onwards, my plan is that only the channel identifiers (not the numerical values) will be listed, along with indication of when they were added or removed.

Yeah, that's been an issue for me for a while. Since Moho 14.2, plus being involved with 14.3 beta, meant I had to keep resetting my Timeline Channels window for both Bones and other layer types. I had to apply the fix again only yesterday because I updated my desktop with the official final version of 14.3.

For me, it's not just a matter of clicking the All Auto button and moving on because I also need to make significant non-standard changes to the window. After a while, this gets tedious. I wish Moho could save and import settings for panels like this.

Ideally, we should be able to save the current window's settings as a preset and select it from a list, as we do now with Keyboard Shortcuts. There are other windows and panels in Moho where I wish to save and import presets, and it would make Moho even more convenient for ever-changing production requirements.

yes - agreed. At present, the channel visibility is saved along with other tool (e.g. freehand, text, ...) settings but, IMO, in a way that isn't readily reusable when new channels appear.

Thanks for the explanation, Paul!

I'm recording a short video so users who run into the problem will know how to fix it.
