10. NEW: XMP "face" data in photos now gets added to "People".

18.0.195 (6/4/2013)

1. Fixed: If an iPod failed to initialize, it could cause a hang when trying to display the error message.
2. Fixed: The option to run Theater View in exclusive mode was not working in build 194 on Windows 7 and Windows 8 (this mode is not recommended for normal use).

StuckMojo:
Thanks, for fixing this annoying zone switching, focus bug in theater view. Working Now!

StFeder:
There is still a small bug left over from MC17, reported here.


--- Quote from: StFeder on January 31, 2012, 06:00:04 pm ---For different reasons I use playlists to organize my albums. So, if I import a new album one of my first actions is to select the new songs and use the "Send To -> Playlist -> Create Playlist"-Feature.

The first time right after starting MC the new playlist named "New Playlist" is created but is not active for renaming. I have to manually select it for rename it. After doing this once, the next so created playlist gets automatically selected by MC, so I can just start typing to rename the playlist after creating. I guess the second way is the one which is expected?!

The bug only appears when sending files that are not in MCs Library to a new playlist. I drag&drop my new files to Playing Now and for me MC is configured in a way, that it does not import them automatically after dropping files to Playing Now. So they get imported when I send them to the new created playlist.

Issue with flac / cue files - it seems to keep duplicating the same track on each import with a duration of the total album. It only started this after a library file path move (search and replace path).

SACD ISO also loses indexes so that only the first track shows up after a path move (same as above). Had to rename .iso file to .isod, run import, rename back & re-import again to fix.

I was happy to early. Today booting into MC, same behaviour as before.  :(

After switching to another zone in theater view, left/right doesn't react anymore.
Pressing up/down with remote ends up in switching through zones.
Only switching to standard view and back again to theater view solves the problem.

Please MC Team, Take a look at it.....
