11.1.100 (01/16/06)

4. Changed: Play counts and ratings are now synchronized back from a device in a worker thread when the device is connected. (instead of blocking the program)

Much better, thanks.

3. Changed: Files on a device show "Delete On Sync" in the status column when they're flagged for removal.

Works partially.

After a sync the 'status' column disappears. I wonder why? It should show "On device". (This is also the case when you click 'show list'.)
I have 2 playlists synced. If I uncheck 1, the column 'Status' does not show up with 'delete on sync'. The sync works fine by-the-way.
If I add a new playlist and remove another, the column does show up.

In Options if I click on "Get Data from Handheld on connect..." and then click ok, when going back to the options, it is unchecked again.

edit : this is on iPod Nano

1. NEW: Photos uploaded to an iPod now support NTSC output to a TV.

This does not seem to work.  I deleted all of my photos and resynced them all to my 5G iPod.  I was pleased to see that the photos were at last centered in the screen, which did not seem to work for me in the last build.  After making sure that my slide show settings were set to NTSC tv signal, I tried to output a slide show to the television.  It did not work.  The music played properly, but I got only a blank screen.

Love it, thank you!

Very big improvement. For me, at least.

List style buttons in the toolbar dont do anything until the bottom file list is physically clicked in. This is very frustrating.

[David_1cog]

Small detail: could we have the '0-9' on the 'Alphabet' bar moved to the beginning.  That would make more sense because files are sorted 0-9,A-Z.

This is normal.  Toolbar buttons target the focused list, which is the top list by default.

Just an FYI...

I did my first photo album sync to ipod with this build.
Transferred over correctly, no muss no fuss.
Didn't even have to inititalize the device first.
Nice!

[Michel Lefebvre]

Small buglet that has been there since 11.0 it seems:

The "History" section in the Help does not contain any of the new MC 11 or 11.1 features. It stops at MC 10.

Michel.

Matt.  In panes view the buttons target the file list without a click.  They cannot do anything to tiles in a tile view so could they not alter the file list instead?  I agree with park its a bit frustrating when they can't actually alter tiles anyway.  Just seems a little bit illogical... just my 2c :-)

Now that photo synchronization is operational, it would be consistent to have a Media Type pane (additional to Artist and Album) in the synchronization 'Show List' view.

Same here with an iPod photo (4G). In addition, 'autosync on connect' is broken for me (I have the option checked but the sync doesn't start when I connect my iPod).

4. Changed: Play counts and ratings are now synchronized back from a device in a worker thread when the device is connected. (instead of blocking the program)

I can't see the improvement (maybe because I can't get the option to stay checked. See above). Actually, it seems to me that MC hangs longer than before. When I connect my iPod MC hangs for over a minute before I can do anything. I've no idea what MC does in the meantime...
