New in Melomania 1.8.3.1 (Sep 5, 2008)
New in Melomania 1.7 (Apr 12, 2007)
- We have added a possibility to load album covers from audio tags during the file scan process. Album covers are loaded automatically, and all information about picture size and format are displayed to the right of album titles in Media Scanner.
- The discover function allows you to load album cover instantly from album's folder or track tags. This function is available through the Discover... item in the picture context menu.
- We have added a possibility to update tags of audio files with music collection data. This function is available for current selection through the Tasks | Update Tags... popup menu item.
- The size of a picture appeared at the top information panel is changeable now. You can set the new size for a picture through the Size... item in the picture context menu. The size value for different kinds of pictures is changed independently.
- We have added an option for minimizing the application to the system tray area. You can switch this option on in the General group of the Options window (Tools | Options... | General). This option is off by default.
- The values of AMG rating and AMG pick are changeable now. Initially we supposed these values to be changed only by getting data from All Music Guide, but after all we decided that users can edit these values themselves.
- The notification check boxes are not scattered all over the Options window, but grouped accurately in the Notifications group now.
- We have changed the algorithm of showing the notification that the medium was scanned earlier. By default, such a notification appears for CD/DVD, but not for all types of media (except for HDD), as it was earlier.
- An attempt to load GIF file with JPG extension as an album cover caused an error. In this version the error appears only if the picture format is determined as really invalid.
- A filter didn't refresh its contents automatically after its conditions were changed and applied. Fixed.
- Fixed bug concerning disappearance of the Tasks popup menu items in Navigator.
- Several small improvements have been made and minor bugs have been fixed.
New in Melomania 1.6.0.3 (Jan 5, 2007)
- Melomania has been translated to five more languages: German, Danish, Spanish, Slovak, and Polish. You still may extend this list with your native language.
- We have carried a menu item for evoking the Copy Tracks wizard from the Send To submenu to the Tasks one in all context menus. The same has been made for the export playlist function.
- The Enqueue in Winamp function appears in the Send To submenu now. Also this function can be performed for any item of a collection, not only for tracks.
- The Copy Tracks wizard allows you to specify a template for automatic file renaming during the copy process. This can be useful, for instance, during the copying files with meaningless names, such as 01.mp3, 02.mp3, and so on, from CD-ROM.
- Also the Copy Tracks wizard provides you with an option for updating informational tags of audio files. If this option is on, then Melomania will update the following tag parameters of destination files: artist name, name and release year of an album, number and title of a song, genre. This option is available on a final step of the wizard.
- Besides the copying tracks, Melomania allows you to move files from one local folder to another. The Move Tracks wizard provides you with the similar features the Copy Tracks wizard does.
- Amazon Covers window: we have added a drop-down menu for a quick switching between regional Amazon websites to the Search button.
- The file name entry in the Track Properties window and within the Details navigation group displays drive letter (if medium is accessible) or medium type (if it's inaccessible) now.
- The quick search entry doesn't lose focus and stays active after choosing an item from its drop-down list. This improvement makes seaching for most recently used items easier.
- We have implemented the support of proxy connection that requires a user authentication.
- When Basket contained a huge selection of tracks, the Details navigations group displayed a negative value instead of real total file size. Fixed.
- In some cases, properties listed in the Details navigation group could not be edited properly. For instance, boolean fields appeared as text entries with true/false values instead of check box. Fixed.
- Media Scanner did not reflect the changing of character case performed using the Edit menu on an artist. Now it does.
- There was no way to remove a multiple selection of tracks from Basket. Always only a single track was actually removed from the selection. Fixed.
- The results of HTML export did not appeared correctly if the specified target path did not contain the trailing backslash (''). Now it's fixed.
- In some cases, Internet Finder hung up the program during downloading information about classical artist. Fixed.
- Filters that contained conditions by genre did not work correctly sometimes. Fixed.
- Media Scanner: an error occured while a user tried to save more than 1500 albums from the scan results at once. Fixed.
- Several small improvements have been made and minor bugs have been fixed.
