22.0.79 (3/8/2017)

1. Changed: Made importing an animated GIF file automatically play in the video engine.
2. NEW: Added the expression function UnMoveArticles(...) to move the articles back to the beginning of a string from the end.
3. Fixed: Removed zones could get readded (instead of recycled) and cause a memory leak.

22.0.78 (3/6/2017)

1. Changed: When cancelling the Customize View dialog, if no changes have been made, it will be instant (instead of reapplying the same settings).
2. Changed: Made the fill track numbers system show a dialog to ask for the start and increment.
3. NEW: Added the expression function MoveArticles(...) to take a string and move the leading article to the end.
4. Fixed: Switching the media type of a GIF to video wouldn't start it playing in the video engine.

22.0.77 (3/1/2017)

1. Fixed: CAF audio files containing non-PCM audio would fail to play if playback type was set to Automatic.
2. Changed: A small rearrangement in coding in an attempt to fix the problem of "Season" being wrong when loading EPG data from xmltv files.

4. Fixed: OpenSubtitles feature would not set the current subtitle for a video to the one selected if it was a "MicroDVD" format.
5. Changed: Expanded OpenSubtitles feature to support TV episodes with the season/episode format (e.g. "Series Name S01E04").
6. Changed: OpenSubtitles feature now downloads multiple subtitle file sets for multi-disc movies.  Downloaded files have the CD number at the end of the filename, e.g. "_CD1", "_CD2", etc.

3. Changed: The string <XMLFN... is no longer shown in the new tag window below images.
4. Changed: Increased the maximum subtitle shift allowed in the right-click menu to 5 seconds from 1 second (remember that the OSD choice to adjust the shift allows infinite adjustments).

6. Changed: Updated the Chromium Web Engine to the latest version.
7. Changed: Made zooming in or out of an image stop the slideshow.
8. Fixed: Facebook upload photos wasn't working because older API wasn't supported anymore.  MC now supports API v2.8.

3. Change: Minor tweaks in Theater View TV guide grid color customization.
4. Fixed: Right-click context menu on video/TV playback window would not work in full screen mode after showing the control window on top.
5. Fixed: ATSC over-the-air EPG scan could crash on program entries that do not have a title.
6. Fixed: Handheld Sync converts files of the same file type if DSP is enabled (still uses the conversion cache, needs to be cleared when changing DSP settings).
7. Changed: Clicking toolbar buttons that close the image editor is no longer allowed when a tool is open -- instead a message is shown.

22.0.72 (2/8/2017)

1. Fixed: WAV plugin did not get audio duration correctly for some WAV files (with mp2 audio content).

3. NEW: Theater View TV guide grid colors can be customized.
4. Changed: Playing Car Radio buttons that are nested Smartlists will reevaluate the files in the smartlist at click time instead of using cached files.

2. Changed: Updated Slovak translation (thanks Peter Lukac).

1. Fixed: More accents trouble.

2. Changed: When customizing the new Tag Action Window, it won't let you add items outside a group (since a group is necessary).
3. Fixed: Pane views that used accents with expression fields weren't working properly.
4. Fixed: The size of emailing images is remembered between sends.

22.0.68 (1/30/2017)

1. Changed: Over-the-air EPG scanning (ATSC and DVB) no longer saves "Event ID" into Program ID field.  Instead, Episode ID, if available, is saved in the field.
2. Changed: The tag action window could be slow to open when it was showing playlists.  Now it's much faster.
3. Changed: The new tag window has "Image" as one of the add choices during customization to nicely add the image field and type the right expression for you.

The MoveArticles and UnMoveArticles seem to work a treat. Great work!

(They don't work on 'Artists' with multiple fields, but I didn't expect them to (it treats the multiple entries as one string, but that's not a big issue at all))

Where are you setting video smoothing?  madVR?

No videoclock in video options
Well thinking about it, using the soundcard in asio mode, it "may" be normal...

Using New Tag window, still getting field/focus chaos, where it scrolls oddly, the tag values list jumps around, literally moves elsewhere in the window, gets stuck on a field and won't end it, shows one record but edits another, etc.

Hard to say how to recreate, but a variety of weird stuff happens most of the time in my libraries on two PCs (one for music, the other for images).

A big one is, I have some fields such as Keywords with long lists of values, scrolling that is very clumsy and error-prone because of how the window moves. To experience this, edit a multi-value field that already has many, many values so lots of list scrolling is involved. Try to get to lower-on-list values, try to get to Add field. It's possible but usually with unexpected behavior.

Another oddity is, sometimes I'm editing in Tag Window and then notice that focus has moved to the view and I'm actually changing a field -- usually a different field -- than what I think is selected in Tag Window (because it changes color to indicate focus, as does the "other" field in the view). I'm a fast typist to wonder if I'm pressing something that does this (maybe F2 since my workaround is to do some types of edits in the view, to avoid the list scrolling problem). But still, it's odd two have two fields get edit focus at the same time.

It is so much nicer to work with just my necessary fields in my preferred order that I'm slogging through the difficulties. I know the New Tag window is beta, hoping this feedback helps get it polished up.
