PCG Tools 2.7.0 is released today and can be downloaded from the website (http://pcgtools.mkspace.nl ).
One of the new features is a new choice in PCG windows where you can select 'All Patches'. This shows all patches in a big list and most commands can be performed on different patch types simultaneously.
Also the normal program/combi/set list banks has a new feature: patches are selected from ALL selected banks. So you can use move up/down over bank boundaries, same as sorting, compacting, clearing, copy/paste etc.
Another new feature is made by mTrilby: PCG Tools will automatically backup every x minutes changed PCG files, which can be used to restore to older versions. mTrilby is the second developer (the other developer is KorganizR) who made a new feature to PCG Tools. If anyone like to make or improve a feature, please let me know (programming skills are required though).
Also the move up/down GUI bug has been resolved and links have been updated (like we have another Portuguese/Brazilian translator: Thiago Costa.

A new version of PCG Tools has been released (version 2.7.1). Russian language has been added (thanks to Igor Elshaidt). An internal bug has been solved by Mike Hildner (and maybe he will fix more bugs later, or even add more features). Furthermore some language texts have been improved (thanks to various translators), some bug fixes have been solved (like moving set list slots, Z1 and Trinity file reading) and some links have been added.
Internally also changes have been made and not all is tested. If you encounter problems, you always can revert back to 2.7.0. As usual the download location is http://pcgtools.mkspace.nl.

Dear PCG Tools users,
As you have noticed, it has been a long time since there has been an update for PCG Tools. Due to lack of time and being very busy with another project, I have (in principle) no time anymore to add more features. This does not mean there will never be any new release anymore. Maybe in some future or when I have a more time I will pick it up again. Or even better, maybe others want to continue contributing to PCG Tools.
Because of that, I made the source code available on my website download page.(http://pcgtools.mkspace.nl/download.php).
I will still answer questions about PCG Tools.
Also I want to thank everybody who helped me, contributed to it, posts bugs, had discussions and used it.
Kind regards,
Michel Keijzers

PCG Tools 3.1.0
As of today, a new version of PCG Tools is released (3.1.0).
A new feature to select any number of combis, combi banks, set list slots or set lists, and the volume of them can be changed simultaneously. In case of combis, the used parameters are changed, set list slots have their own volume. You can change volume by a fixed value (e.g. make them all 100), by a change (e.g. subtract 20 from all patches, of course it will never exceed 0 and 127). And you can even map them between two values (e.g. between 80 and 100), or a smart mapping which checks the current volumes and maps them to the new mapping values. It can be found under Edit, Change Volume. Thanks to translators for the translations.
As always, the application is free and can be found at http://pcgtools.mkspace.nl
Enjoy/kind regards,
