12.0.61 (8/25/06)

1. Changed: Removed counts from pane listings.

1. Fixed: Bursts of sound during video thumbnailing.
2. Fixed: When manually expanding a tree item, the tree and action window wouldn't properly negotiate for space.
3. Fixed: The auto-expand / auto-collapse tree option was not being honored.
4. Changed: Removed the "show tooltips" option for the tree.
5. Changed: Switching to Mini View or Theater View while MC was minimized could cause strange results.
6. Fixed: In some cases, switching to a view scheme could cause a crash.
7. Changed: Changing the rotation field for an image causes the thumnbnail to be rebuilt.
8. Fixed: When using fast image rotation (what thumbnails use), some rotation angles were not being properly supported.

12. Changed: Right-click on a view scheme has the "Add Folder To Library" option.
13. Changed: More error checking in video player seek operation.
14. Changed: Bumped the core database version so Library Server understands the difference between an v11.1 and v12.0 library.
15. Changed: Dialogs thrown from input plugins during playback are now skinned and translated.
16. Fixed: Starting Media Center in last exit view mode could cause it to be in a confused state where all menus and functionality didn't work as expected.
17. Changed: With last exit view mode selected, the splash screen would not show. (the splash still doesn't show when going straight to display or theater view by design)

8. NEW: Added ratings to the player window.

Wonderful, thx

[jgreen]

--Issue reported in build .60 regarding column reordering messing with shift-click selecting is still there.

Ratings in player window is interesting and a great improvement.  I notice also that right-clicking in the player window and selecting "tag" will get that particular track into tag, the way that doing it in  "playing now" in the AW won't.  I think that PN in the AW is a better place, but if it's there, fine.  Now howabout moving the PN list up there as well, and stop hiding important functionality deep in the AW?  Currently, either window only does 7/8 of what you want.

1. Changed: Removed counts from pane listings.

Ye giveth and ye taketh away.

Continuing audio analyze issues:


1.  Cannot shut MC down if Audio Analyze dialog is open.

2.  The Audio Analyze restore control does not work - the window can only be restored by double clicking on the window.

3.  This has been mentioned by others and is a real inconvenience:  If audio analyze encounters a problem with a specific file it stops processing others in the queue.   MC must be shut down and reopened before processing can be restarted. 

[datdude]

AW Tag does not show up the track number when multiple songs of the same track number are selected.

The new menu system isn't bad, I think I will like it, but when right clicking in a view, 'customize current veiw' should not be nested.

[datdude]

The mini view does not appear to be holding its size that I make for it.  It just simply reverts back to the squinched size after closing and then returning to it.

[Doof]

In a Tiles view, it's possible to open up two meus at the same time. First, right click on the header bar to open the menu. Then hover over the "bread crumbs" menu and that will appear as well. In fact, with some creative clicking and hovering, it's possible to open up quite a bunch of menus all at once.



Is there some reason why these two menus are different? It can get a little confusing trying to remember which options were available in which menu.

Also, I never really noticed before, but it is there any reason why we couldn't get a Close button on Slim?

MC often crashes on me throwing up a visual something runtime error.

Usually happens when in the video viewscheme. This time it happened when listening to an m4a podcast, in playing now.

Is the version of Quicktime installed the latest?

[park]

I had itunes 6.03 installed. when i launched it, it told me that there is a new version available (6.5)

I dont know where to find just quicktime anymore, so i have setup the latest itunes. I'll report back if the runtime error occurs again.

Can't tick audible books in tagging mode (only when viewing by album thumbnails)

[park]

Handheld synching is still funky:

• I have been tagging (yes/no boxes that a master smartlist reads) for files i want to synch. Also ticked a couple of smartlists in handheld options.
  
  When i do a recheck synch in the handheld action window it says i have476.6mb available.
  
  I click on "details" and at the bottom of the screen it says that I have 1.9gb free.
  
  And in the header bar of "details" it says "space used: 1.9 GB of 3.8GB"
  
  I'm assuming the header bar is telling me what's on the ipod currently, but can't account for the differences between the action window and status bar numbers.
  
  Perhaps all the numbers (current ipod info and post synch ipod info) should be up there in the header bar.
  
  
• Another oddity is that i get a " duplicates" warning for a radiohead album (happened last synch too with different songs in the same album), but i swear that there wasnt duplicates songs before i tried the synch. Feels like the synch is creating duplicates somehow.
  I'll try testing this.

[park]

Last thing (for now  )

Handhelds are still being ejected in MC but not system wide, so i have to manually eject it in windows. This is only true using the auto eject option in options. If you manually eject it from the tree it ejects properly.

Also, I think there should be an eject button in the handheld details header bar, for people who dont have an auto-eject option set.

Thanks,
Bri

I dont know where to find just quicktime anymore, so i have setup the latest itunes. I'll report back if the runtime error occurs again.

It's not that hard to find.  Go to the regular Windows Quicktime download site:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html

Choose the second option down (the one that does not say "QuickTime 7.1 with iTunes 6
for Windows 2000/XP" but just lists Quicktime).  Uncheck the three annoying boxes, and click Free Download Now.

I don't know why people complain about this still.  Apple used to hide the download in a "regular sized text" link at the bottom of the page, but now it's just a radio button choice.  How could it be easier?

Bug with G-Force:

Downloaded the latest version of G-Force that supports MC12.

G-Force is performing well, but if you switch back to any other MC visualization, MC12 crashes.

[EpF]

In AW tag screen, 'Playlists' cannot be removed (not in right-click field lists).

Also, installing this version overwrote all custom art in the program folder

[Marty3d]

The old bug reappeared:
When connected to LS and double-clicking on a playlist, MC doesn't always jump to PN. Before the symptom appeared when clicking on the tooltip, but now it does this both on the playlist icon and in the tooltip. But it seems it more often work when using the tooltip.

[Doof]

Setting your Start View to Mini and having Slim as your chosen "mini skin" causes strange things to happen when you start MC. You get some weird combination of Slim and Standard View.

[Shelly]

Request:  After making tag changes, the status bar displays "done saving tags."  In order to view information regarding the playlist - number of files, number of minutes, size on disc - you have to refresh the playlist once, sometimes twice.  I'd much rather see this info instead of "done saving tags" and am requesting that the plalylist info be automatically displayed.
