History/1.0d51

The History of d51 is every change i've made to d50: chronological order (latest at bottom)

• Previous Version

The Starting From Scratch version

• d50r0 December 30 2008 Lite Pro
• when a singer makes a change using the web client (web clients include iphone/itouch), the change is reflected in (KJ)Rotation as well
• web client can now drag-and-drop reorder a song into the last position (past the previous last song) and not cause an assert crash
• Bonjour name is now "kJams: <venue name> (<machine name>)". Had to add machine name cuz you can have N machines on the LAN running kJams with the same venue name.
• when using KJPro database, if it's one where there's 2 copies of each song on the disc, the second one having lead vocal track, and the DB does not have the 2nd tracks listed, it will still work
• OMG long standing big bad bug related to adding to library: the progress bar got all wrong (also fixed), and many songs would simply not even load!! So be aware that "add to library" that you did in the past may not have gotten all the folders inside the folder you added!! (especially if you had a mix of files and folders and there were more than 100 on any level)
• If there's an error using the Tricerasoft store, you get a better error message.
• if you had a playlist called "Library" this could have wreaked havoc, this is now fixed, it's fine to name a playlist "Library" if you want
• added a "Language" meta data, feel free
• the "Buy Song" button is back, and any text that was measured before and was failing (causing problems with MediaStream files) works again
• the Focus ring got messed up recently, it could have appeared to be hiliting the sources or the tracks, but in fact would NOT be, so things like play, pause, stop, or delete and many other commands would fail to work, with no explanation. This happened after you had gone into text edit mode in either sources or tracks list, then canceled out of it (with escape, or by clicking away)
• the Web Server preference panel is now turned on without you having to hold "option key", ready for prime time i think.
• d50r1 January 4 2009 Lite Pro
• fixed eSellerate on 10.3.9 Hosed again by eSellerate. The "Fix" they sent to me was nothing of the kind.
• KJPro is always turned on, configured, and the pref panel is hidden
• support for CAVS "ENGLISH.INX" meta data files
• Video window no longer "remembers" the most recent background color when you stop a song
• Bonjour venue name is no longer followed by Machine name (you don't *really* need it)
• d50r2 January 8 2009 Lite Pro

Latest Changes

• you can now use the "Color" meta data column to assign System 7 style color labels to your songs. No, OSX doesn't let you apply OSX style color labels, WTF? You can select multiple and set them all at once.
• You can now assign a file to a song that will always be launched when you play the song. you can use it to launch an applescript to do anything you can imagine (set the stage lights, run a midi file, open a text file with lyrics, send an email, anything you can imagine). Advanced->Special->Set / Clear Launch File
• you can now
• if your song's meta data is just filled with spaces, this will be corrected to just be empty
• fixed KJPro disc track number problem for multiplex discs which list only the non-vocal versions
• file paths with a tilde in them will always work
• you can now edit the "Key Changes" meta data
• the "Key" meta data can be made wider
