4. Optimized: Initial loading time for the file database is much faster. (can cut several seconds off the MC load time when using a large library)

Hi Matt,

13. Fixed: When launching a program from Theater View, MC would not properly minimize and restore.

Great, it's working again now, thanks.

And BTW, since this is my 1000^th post and MC11 release is approaching fast , I would like to take the opportunity and give you a for all those great years of fun.

editing playlist names in views does not update it automatically in the tree!

[EpF]

When clicking 'remove' from 'columns to show' in 'edit view scheme', MC always removes the top one, not the highlighted one...

[Pink Waters]

handheld stored file information is not automatically updated... so when deleting media files from handheld by windows explorer then sync playlist by MC, MC reports file deletion error

[Valissystem]

Real Media files don't seem to play. I get a message dialog saying "Cannot determine the version of Real Networks Real Player...". Last week files played fine. Not with this latest version.

3. Changed: Tooltips use skin coloring instead of system coloring.

This works amazingly......... I can finally use the Thunderstorm WB skin and the Thunderstorm MC skin

AMAZING!!!!


Thanks,

[mooseman]

Should it have removed the plugins I had installed?  Cover Art Finder, Auto Import, Playing Now, etc. are now gone.

Though it could be that I was previously running 10 & 11, and for .262 I let it remove 10.

When clicking 'remove' from 'columns to show' in 'edit view scheme', MC always removes the top one, not the highlighted one...

I can confirm this behavior.

4. Changed: Tooltips wrap long text to multiple lines.

Excellent, thank you.

BUG 1: Complete Album calculated field does not work for multiple album sets.

I have many of these - one example:  Jimmy Buffett - Meet Me in Margaritaville

This is a 2 disk set, fully tagged, both disks with a complete list of track numbers, the Disk number field used to differentiate the 2 disks.  However, Complete Album shows up as false unless I force the 2 disks to have different album names.

This will fail for most any box set etc, and screws up any query/viewscheme that is looking for complete albums.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BUG 2: When ripping albums, MC is leaving a rip log in the album folder each time.  I do NOT save it explicitly.  It is named the same as the last track of the album.
I perform a secure rip, click on the close button, and then if I look in the album folder it is there. 

I did note that the log has been corrected to show all albums in a long ripping session, rather than just the last one - thanks for that!

I had some tracks that I was hoping to find in YADB, since they were labled all wrong.

I tried one and was suprised to find it in YADB.

So I selected the entire album = ZERO results found.

If I tried more than 2 files, it failed, but 2 files at a time worked fine.

-----

Another bug is that the shuffle toggle works only one way  in realtime; if you try to toggle off the shuffle during playback it does not work until you stop playback and resume. It will, however, toggle shuffling on during playback when shuffle is off.
-------------

MC keeps getting better...261 is really nice. Editing and traveling between songs with arrow keys, cutting and pasting, is FAST and snappy, no hangage........The last version also seemed to hang a bit at startup when I selected to view my Audio section.....thanks!

Unfortunately, still unable to play from Library Server when Library Option is set to "Always convert files" and the conversion type is set to anything other than "Windows Media."

3. Changed: Tooltips use skin coloring instead of system coloring.
4. Changed: Tooltips wrap long text to multiple lines.

Much better! However, if hover on the right half of the screen, the tooltip goes off the screen - the only thing you see is the thumbnail. Can't you make the tooltip stay on the screen no matter where you activate it?
