1. NEW: Theater View is now supported on Mac!  Select it from the View menu.  Being a new feature, there may be some issues so please report any problems you run into.
2. Fixed: Very old APE format files (v3.80) could crash on import.

7. Fixed: DSP Studio wouldn't load the ideal page size of the first page it showed.
8. Fixed: Picking WPL as the playlist formats on a handheld would use ASX instead.

6. Fixed: The popup about saving pane changes will show a little more reliably on shutdown.
7. Fixed: With multiple tabs open, the selected file for pane tagging (and maybe other things) could get corrupted.
8. Changed: Small update to the Modern Cards: Grey skin.
9. NEW: Added "Engen Command" task to scheduler.  Allows scheduling scene and lighting events if an Engen server is available (experimental).

22.0.22 (8/29/2016)

1. Changed: Updated the three Modern Cards Skins
2. Fixed: M4V files were being treated as data files.
3. Changed: DLNA renderer zone status calls used to determine whether the device is up will handle more broken renderers that don't properly support the spec On devices that were failing, the playback progress bar didn't advance.
4. Changed: Renamed the image tool to "Convert or Resize".
5. Changed: Made the Find & Replace tool work on the display of a field instead of the data so it works a lot better on dates.

9. I can add the Pono column in a view, but it does not show the blue icon for tracks purchased from the Pono Music Store.

EDIT: This is only an issue on the Mac version. Windows version is OK.

EDIT: Not a bug. I double checked and none of the Pono tracks had the phc tag set. I guess this is because I loaded my content prior to this version which added the tag.

Under Services & Plug-ins:
I can navigate to Amazon, HDtracks or PonoMusic Store. But if I select one, and navigate somewhere else, MC crashes.

EDIT: This is only an issue on the Mac version. Windows version is OK.

I can navigate to Amazon, but if I select my location which is the UK it reverts back to auto and I can only access Amazon USA. So I can't access my Amazon music on the UK site.

Hey,
In Version 21 I have buttons in Interpret / Album and Genre which allows me a shortcut to bring me direct to all the albums of this interpret, for example. Since Version 22 these buttons are not existing anymore or is there a trick to bring theme in front again?
I needed these short cuts all the time and it is a reason why I can’t work with version 22 so far.
Thanks for more informations.
