History 1.0d49
- The Golden Compass version
- diacritic insensitive searching is now available on Tiger (tho it may be slow)
- you theoretically should really really actually NOT crash when the crash reporter comes up (ironic i know)
- no longer bothering to attempt to update the browser window if the thing i'm trying to refresh is not visible
- fixed a hang-forever problem with "the song won't play" when you try to play a missing song that is not a quicktime movie
- if you're not pitch bending a song when burning, then i do NOT use the Apple time pitcher, since it's slow.
- trashing tons of songs is now really really REALLY fast, and has a progress bar. Trashing a few songs is instant and no longer shows a progress dialog.
- tons more work on search paths, not done yet
- FIXED BURNING ON LEOPARD!!!
- d48r1 December 6 2007 Lite Pro
- FIXED: regarding AAC (MPEG4) audio inside a .mov container that is not zipped
- when you modify the columns of any playlist (add, remove, resize, reorder), then the new state is saved as the "default" state, so that the next time you create a new playlist OF THAT TYPE, the new playlist inherits the default state
- fixed crasher: if you happen to delete a playlist or a song during the moments after you clicked a song name (which started to edit it)
- OMG? I said i fixed burning for Leopard, but then only ONE person wrote in telling me that it still put up the dialog about "Apple screwed up". Okay i deleted that dialog, which forced you to cancel burning, since burning is actually working.
- You can now get info from the KJPro meta database, if you ask me about it real nice like. (i'm trying to work out a licensing deal with them where they get your subscription before i let this out into the wild)
- fixed a bug that was setting the DiscID to zero on CD playlists, causing all sorts of strange problems
- fixed crasher: when editing meta data, pushing meta data, ripping discs, and in general just doing anything that may cause the meta data to change, or cause the screen to update, wow this bug totally sucked!
- fixed crasher: when setting batch info on a CD (like album name for all songs)
- the act of playing a song which causes the song to be cached no longer makes the DB dirty
- fixed yet another "song not found" or "song just hangs" when you play bug
- updating the song's file reference no longer dirties the DB if the ref turns out to be the same as it was before
- now much more meticulously scrutinizing a song to determine if it is a QuickTime movie, vs. just an audio file wrapped in a .mov container
- when searching for things with dashes and colons, you can now find them eg: B-52s
- fixed crasher: if filtering (searching) has a problem you no longer crash, it just doesn't work
- fixed crasher: if you go to delete a playlist that happened to be just about to save itself
- you can no longer eject a disc, get or submit freedb or get info on it, if it is in the process of ejecting
- fixed a deadlock (hang) when quitting, now completion routine will have a chance to run if the thread deleter is blocked waiting for it
- no longer crash if searching for the empty string or you search a string that happens to be empty
- fixed crasher: if a problem arises when tabbing to the next editable meta data, it just won't work
- fixed some curly quotes in the log file
- d48r4 December 15 2007 Lite Pro
- added some debug code to the audio output thing
- you can now click to edit things that were right justified, eg: times sung
- fixed the ability to edit the track number directly in the browser
- fixed ability to tab thru text edits in the browser
- more work on meta data editing: you can now edit text of any meta that advertises "can inline text edit"
- if there is a problem opening a BIN/CUE file, you don't crash
- accessing column info thru the playlist is now thread safe (fewer crashes)
- bin/cue files that came from Windoze work again for importing
- fixed a crash on startup with brand new installation (thanks for the reports! Major DOH!)
- turned on Aliases. YES!! Your database might be larger now, but i'm now saving real aliases!
- d48r5 December 16 2007 Lite Pro
- fixed crasher: no longer attempting to save default columns if there aren't any (ie: no more crash on startup if the crash reporter comes up the first time you upgrade)
- fixed crasher: really *reallly* trying to NOT crash on startup when the crash reporter (!) comes up
- fixed assert: if you are playing a song, then search, and the song that is playing does not show up in the search results, and the song ends, you don't get the assert fail stuff (yaaay)
- fixed assert: no longer getting double asserts if a song is missing, now you JUST get the "would you like to find it" dialog
- the microphone volume control is not shown if you are not using it
- moved the two video prefs out of the menu and in to the general prefs pane (hide on pause, always on top)
- sped up the loading of the database again. there's more i could do but that's a lot better
- the first new save of the DB will be slow, but subsequent saving of the database will be back to normal speed
- when you upgrade the DB to use aliases, no longer dirtying all playlists (un necessary and a time waster, now it ONLY dirties the DB)
- there is now a progress dialog for loading the library (does not work first time you run, sorry)
- more work on search paths *GAWD* this is taking a long time to get it right!!
- graphic channels menu items again have keyboard shortucts
- diacritic-insensitive search is now a preference that you must manually turn on. searching is MUCH faster without it
- log files that log "MessageAlert"s now put a carriage return after the string
- d48r6 December 23 2007 Lite Pro
- the database version was incorrectly identified on PPC machines, causing launch failure
- d48r7 December 24 2007 Lite Pro
- "click activation" has been fixed: when the kJams browser window is in the background, clicking in the tracks panel will bring it to the front. This fixes quite a few issues.
- stripes! yaaaay stripes!!! (only in 10.4 or greater)
- playlists now have the ability, like the Library always had, to continue running with playing the next song in the playlist, even if that playlist is not showing (ie: you're looking at another playlist in the moment the previous song ends)
- updated the error string regarding "already there" when you try to add songs manually into your music folder
- if there's a problem loading an alias to a song, it is marked missing
- when you add to library, you now get a warning that it does NOT copy files into your library. i wish people would just read the directions.
- a PICT resource was causing leaks, it has been fixed
- d48r8 December 28 2007 Lite Pro
- regarding the "already there" when you try to add songs manually into your music folder, I added an "explain" button with a link to the explanation.
