1. NEW: Middle mouse button smooth scrolling is supported in file lists and the left navigation pane.
2. NEW: "Build Missing Thumbnails..." works in a background thread instead of blocking the program.

12.0.62 (8/28/06)

2. Changed: The right-click menu for a view header is the same as the drop menu of the title.

6. Changed: "Customize Current View..." replaced by "View Settings" menu in main view menu and right-click on file lists.
7. Changed: Right-clicking the column headers of a list shows only the "View Settings" menu instead of the entire menu.
8. NEW: Added ratings to the player window.
9. Fixed: Switching into fullscreen with MC maximized, and then hitting the "restore" button to go to windowed display view didn't work properly.

12.0.60 (8/24/06)

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)
18. Fixed: Album thumbnail tooltips were not appearing.

7. Fixed: Problems identifying iPods connected via firewire.
8. Changed: Clicking 'Rip CD' (or 'Rip Tracks') will open the ripping action window, if the ripping action window is already open the rip will start.

Thanks for these, which also effected 11.1.195.  I noticed you fixed these with MC11 as well -- thanks for keeping current 11 current while the MC12 developement continues.  (I still use MC11 on one of my machines, so this is still important to me.)

I don't know what's causing it but just moving around in MC and doing various things, I get a freeze for about 10 seconds at a time. I have to wait until it finishes whatever it's doing and then I can start using MC again.

CD ripping for me is a sub 50/50 proposition.  I have an internet connection that may at times require a retry, and MC yadb lookup has zero fault-tolerance.  Most of the time what happens is that when MC cannot reach YADB, it decides that there is no info available for that cd, and marks it as permanently unavailable.  NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!  THERE IS SIMPLY NO CONNECTION AVAILABLE CURRENTLY!!!!!

If MC fails to connect to yadb, it should return a dialogue box suggesting a retry.  Instead, you can either rip the CD or not.  If you cancel out, MC STILL MARKS THE CD DATA AS PERMANENTLY UNAVAILABLE.  Try to rip the same CD later, MC remembers the CD as being a leper, and refuses to lookup the info.

12.0.66 (9/1/06)

1. NEW: Middle mouse button smooth scrolling is supported in file lists and the left navigation pane.

Working fine for me with wireless microsoft mouse scrollwheel and scrollwheel on wireless microsoft keyboard.

2. NEW: "Build Missing Thumbnails..." works in a background thread instead of blocking the program.

Worked well for me as a background task.  I deleted all thumbnails and had it create new thumbnails.
Just as an FYI, it took 27:37 to do mine for ~26000 files.

Just curious, is that on a local drive? It took mine 48 minutes for @14,000 files on a network drive.

In Audible Titles view, changing the sorting only seems to work the first time you load up MC. If you go to change it again, and answer Yes to the saving of the smartlist, the next time you go back, it will be defaulted back to [date imported]-d

Attached my Nomad 3 to my laptop through a USB 2.0 card today and was delighted that MC immediately recognized it and seamlessly allowed me to transfer files, delete files, and snyc.  Sweet!

[marko]

every now and then, a bug with a bit of novelty factor makes a brief appearance...

Get into a library view with thumbnails, and some blank space between the last thumbnail and the bottom toolbar, and no scrollbar on the right.
Left click & drag to make a selection rectangle, but don't go up to select files, instead, go down, below the bottom toolbar, and see how MC becomes more than a little upset!!!

MC 12 seems to be having problems converting m4a files to mp3's using the MP3 Encoder with VBR High encoding. Everytime I try to convert it hangs before any progress has been made. I tried MC 11 and it did convert files okay.

half and half.  audio and images are on local drive.
Movies are on several USB 2.0 external drives.

Select A Wav File (one file)
Select Convert
Convert To Wav (It states no conversion needed)

When You Hit Start anyway A Blank Message Box Comes Up

Bug:

I still can't check/uncheck an "unassigned tag" box in tagging mode on my custom tags.  I CAN check the "unassigned tag" box for tags like "Genre," but for my custom iPod tags, clicking on the "unassigned" box does nothing.  The difference "may" be that my custom tags are "list" type tags, where as the tags that DO allow my to select the "unassigned" box are "string" type tags.

Thanks,

Larry

Mine all completed but are extremely distorted.
