This is the latest version of MC 12.0. Any MC12.0 license will work with it. Please post bugs here. Please start a new thread for anything requiring discussion. Non-bug posts will be deleted or moved.
This latest build (usually safe) of MC12.0 is here:
ftp://ftp.jriver.com/pub/downloads/MC12/MediaCenter120490.exe12.0.490 (4/30/2008)
1. Fixed: UNC path browsing in Disk Location view schemes did not work properly in the tree.
2. Fixed: Pasting strings with unsupported characters (tabs, non-printables, etc.) into the search box would do nothing.
3. Fixed: Cleaned up some wording with Rename, Move, & Copy Files tool.
4. Fixed: Possible crash while analyzing audio using the popup dialog.
5. NEW: Audio Analyzer dialog is sizable, remembers last position, and doesn't disable the list during processing.
6. NEW: Audio Analyzer dialog can run multiple analyze processes at once. (defaults to 2)
7. Fixed: Holding shift while drawing a right-click lasso in a list wouldn't do additive selection.
8. Changed: Dropping files to transfer on a handheld while it's gathering the files already on the device will show a wait message (with cancel) instead of doing nothing.
9. Optimized: Generic storage card devices or user-created virtual devices gather files the first time the handheld is used, instead of at startup. (so missing network drives, mapping a huge drive, etc. won't cause performance issues)
10. Optimized: Improved performance of list rendering when viewing handheld transfer progress.
11. Fixed: When adding a file that's already in Playing Now to the end of Playing Now, playback would begin with the first instance of the file.
12. Changed: The default restored size of the main application is 80% of the screen instead of a hard-coded value in the skin. (program starts maximized by default)
13. Changed: Revised how list style (details, thumbnails, etc.) is saved so that if it is changed to the default mode for a view, the list style will automatically adapt to the media types in the list.
14. Changed: Track Info visualizations create the generated HTML file in the temporary folder instead of the Program Files folder (to avoid permissions issues).
12.0.489 (4/29/2008)
1. Changed: Audio file types that are played in DirectShow are not analyzed during Auto-import.
2. Changed: Audio file types that are playable in native playback engine only via DirectShow are analyzed (in Audio Analyze tool) only if the user chooses to play the types in DirectShow (for example if you do not choose to play m4a files in DirectShow, they will not be analyzed).
3. Changed: Print Wizard uses updated user interface system. (should be internal change only)
4. Changed: Print Wizard is sizable.
5. NEW: "Haali Video Renderer" is included in the video renderer list for DVD and DirectShow Video playback.
6. Changed: Narrower space between pictures when printing pictures in "Passport Photo (2x2) Mode".
7. Changed: "Divx Subtitle Source" filter is excluded from the "Source Filters" list because it pops up "Open File" dialog window when loaded.
8. Changed: Revised internal workings of image code, launcher, and setup finalizer (should be internal change only).
9. Changed: Renamed "Rename Files From Properties" to "Rename, Move, & Copy Files".
10. Changed: Removed redundant tools "Move Disk Files" and "Copy Disk Files". (use Rename, Move, & Copy Files tool)
11. NEW: Added Greek translation (thanks, Apostolos [sorry this took so long]).
12. NEW: Added Albanian translation (thanks, Bestar).
13. Changed: DirectShow filters that do not have one of the key words "Source", "File", "Splitter", "read", "pump", "parser" are no longer tested for inclusion in the "Source Filters" list. This will make MC less likely to crash due to bad filters, but may accidentally exclude some true source filters. Let us know if you know a source filter that you would like to use but it does not appear in the list.
14. Changed: Library Tool > Find & Replace defaults to no selected fields instead of all fields selected.
15. Changed: Added "Edit View Scheme..." to the bottom of the View Settings menu in the header of all library views.
16. Optimized: Improved the drawing speed of grouped details views.
17. Changed: Theater View Videos view has "All Files (by date)" and "All Files (by name)" in the Views menu.
12.0.488 (4/25/2008)
1. Optimized: Improved performance of core string system, helping performance everywhere.
2. Optimized: Panes in library views require less memory.
3. Optimized: The Podcasting engine could update the UI more than necessary.
4. Fixed: Files from a portable install using (Install Drive):\ filenames would not update from external changes properly with auto-import.
5. Fixed: Image editor toolbar would draw incorrectly with some skins.
6. Fixed: TV Time-shifting with WinTV PVR 150 device using "Hardware Encoding" profile did not work on Vista (EC_ERRORABORT message flashes on screen, and MC reverts to no time-shifting).
7. Changed: Time-shifting media data files have changed. This should be internal change that should be transparent to users.
