FerrumPlay 0.9.3

Choose a tag to compare

  • The MP3 tag editor fills in empty fields one by one instead of all or nothing. Until now the
    selection decided as a whole: if a single file carried any tag at all, every empty field of
    every other file stayed empty and had to be typed by hand. What is in the file still wins
    wherever there is something; only what is missing gets a proposal - the file name without its
    extension as the title, the name of the parent folder as artist and album. A field holding
    nothing but spaces counts as empty, because that is what it looks like in the form and it would
    be worth as little as a tag.
  • A missing track number is proposed from the order of the file names. The list is sorted by file
    name as soon as any number is missing, so the rows stand in the order they are numbered in.
    Numbers that are already in the files are left alone, and where every file has one the
    selection keeps its order - there is nothing to guess there.
  • The genre box completes what is typed from the genre defaults in the settings. After "Ro" the
    field reads "Rock" with the added part selected: the next character replaces it, backspace
    throws it away, and the typed characters keep their own capitalisation. Completion only happens
    at the end of the text, a genre that is in no default can still be typed freely, and the
    drop-down list is unchanged.
  • While playback runs and nothing has been done in the application for a minute, the view
    returns to the track that is playing and stays with it from then on: the list scrolls along with
    every following track. Any movement of the mouse or a key press postpones it again. The areas
    that are worked in are left out - the audio CD, the converter and the tag editor - because a
    view that jumps away on its own would be in the way there. The Lyrion area follows only while it
    is the one playing, so it is never closed unasked.
  • Page up, page down, home and end scroll the playlist even when the focus sits elsewhere, on the
    volume knob or one of the buttons in the bar. They scroll and do not select: what is selected
    decides what gets tagged or converted, and a key pressed from outside the list must not overturn
    it. With the list focused, its own handling including the selection is unchanged.
  • The filled accent buttons - "Start conversion" and "Apply changes" - carry dark text again
    instead of white, in the very dark shade of the accent colour that the play symbol also uses.
    Both now take their surface from the same keys as well, so they follow a changed accent colour
    alike.
