Hey everyone, I've been working on a few QOL features that many people have asked for, and I hope can be tested before incorporating them into a mainline release. I'd appreciate anyone willing to test them to check out the prerelease here:
https://github.com/andrewbenington/OpenHome/releases/tag/v1.5.0-alpha-multiple-banks.1
As a precaution, I would make a copy of your OpenHome data directory so you can restore it if necessary. I don't see anything going that wrong but you never know. You can get to that folder in OpenHome by pressing Ctrl+D (Cmd+D on macOS), or File > Open Data Folder.
EDIT:
If you tried version v1.5.0-alpha-multiple-banks (before v1.5.0-alpha-multiple-banks.1) you might get an error message. Use the newest download if that's the case
Banks
Boxes are now organized into "Banks". These can have a variable number of boxes, and can be named:

Your existing OpenHome boxes will be put into a new bank when you launch this version. For now you should see changes synced up with your boxes in older versions of OpenHome, so you shouldn't have to worry about going back to an older version if this one has issues.
Box Features
At long last you can add, remove (empty boxes), and reorder your boxes:


Boxes that have been added, moved, or removed should also be reflected in older versions of OpenHome, so no worries about going back after trying this feature either.
Missing Features
There are still some obvious features not present, such as deleting a bank. But I wanted to get this tested soon because other issues are piling up. Please let me know if you run into any problems or features that are necessary before this is merged in.
