MC 11 Improvements

Several memory and speed enhancements -- like database and skin unloading when minimizing MC
Much of MC's interface can be translated to other languages

Looks like the log file is now messed up.
It is creating C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxx\Application Data\J River\log.txt  which is jibberish when you open it.
It is no longer writing to C:\Documents and Settings\Every\Application Data\J River\Media Center 11\Logs\Media Center Log.txt

The location did change, and we're now writing Unicode (UTF-16) instead of ASCII.  What editor are you using to open it, and what OS are you on?

Thanks.

I'm running XP Pro with SP2.
It is opening in wordpad by default

edit...
I'm partial to wordperfect which is able to open it as a wordperfect 4.2 file and it then looks fine.
MS Word can't handle it

- When starting MC in Playing now, it always shows the list starting from song 4 and doesn't jump to the song that's currently playing. When clicking on something else and then again on playing now, it works fine.

- When editing a smartlist, when finished and clicking on another smartlist, before it asks to save it, it comes up with a right click context menu.

*CUE FILE ISSUES*

- MC complains it can't tag CUE tracks when update tags on file changes is ticked. It is preferrable that it not complain about this like with WAV or video files.

- If fix or remove broken links is ticked in the Import/Update dialog,  *ALL* previously imported CUE tracks are LOST !!! (thanks for this)

- If an album with imported+analysed CUE tracks is moved (within MC) after import MC loses the address of those imported CUE tracks. The big file the CUE tracks are associated with is not lost.

Back navigation shortcuts (backspace, Alt-Left, etc.) lead you to the previous display but at the top of it instead of at the very point you were at. This happens with Library Browser too.

(This bug was present in version 196... since I do not see it in the fix list for .198 I just put it here as a reminder).

Fixed: Playlists SDK access would not show smartlists.

that works ok now (also in NetRemote),

thanks,

Two problems and one question here:

1)
When I open a playlist this list appears in the right pane. That pane is divided in two in version 11: playlist info up and playlist-listing down. So far so good. However when I open it the first three titles of my playlist are always hidden - the first one that I see in the lower section is no. 4. I have to scroll up to see the first item.

2)
How can I adjust the behaviour of this view? As far as I can see it only shows a dozen or two of the covers that are in the playlist that's opened.

3)
When I start playing a song from the internet MC plays it, but when this song is done MC continues playing the first song of Playing Now, even when i.e. the second song was paused before I started that internet-song.
In my opinion the only thing MC has got to do is playing that internet-song and then return to the state MC was in before playing that song.
