1.4.4

Fixes thumbnail flicker, preserves saved catalog pictures when enlarged previews fill the cache, and prevents native MPC filmstrips accumulating on internal storage. Cache redirection preserves the drive identities used by automatic updates.

Adds download-size and ROM badges, the Auto quit manager preference, and refined catalog/SETUP controls. The guide and screenshots are updated.

Update through SETUP → Check for updates. Older 1.2.x installations still require the documented migration.

1.3.3

Fixes automatic updates being rejected because the ZIP contained an empty folder outside the signed inventory. The final ZIP must now pass the older updater's download, signature, extraction and native-worker checks before publication.

Fixes the SD installation action being available while Plugin Manager is already running from that same SD copy. The button is now disabled, and the backend prevents self-copying without changing installation records.

Fixes Unicode ZIP installation and startup rejection caused by Mac metadata files. Adds persistent thumbnails, clearer manager version information, compatible helper updates and the renamed OpenMPC Plugin Manager VST offer.

Use SETUP → Check for updates to install 1.3.3. If the manager cannot open, use the complete ZIP and reimport its helper. For 1.2.x or earlier, follow the migration guide.

The separate Live III preparation failure reported in #12 remains under investigation.

v1.2.2

Fixes Gen2 startup crashes with large settings, delays with damaged settings, and helper validation on application-overlay setups.
Adds bounded USB launch diagnostics and an optional display/touch rotation override.

Manual update required: copy the complete bundle, preserving history, preferences and local packages.
On OS 3.10, reimport Plugin Manager helper.xpa and restart MPC.
If installed on SD, open the updated USB copy and use SETUP → Update manager.
Older built-in updaters cannot replace the changed helper.

The MPC XL rotation override still needs hardware confirmation.
See the user guide for setup and recovery.
