DJSync 1.4.0-rc.5

Pre-release 1.4.0-rc.5

What's new

• Fixes after the rc.4 tests.
• Playlists: tracks can be reordered by dragging again (a line shows where they will land, the list scrolls near the edges); the button bar adapts to the window width (secondary buttons become icons, then move to the ☰ menu: no more cut-off text); Save order only shows when the order changed; on the computer, Remove from the Rekordbox collection instead of Delete from drive.
• Watched folder: its playlist is called Watched folder (with an eye icon), tracks that came from it show an eye in the Source column, the setting says what it is for, and the first import says so with a link. Settings reorganised: the big Downloads card split into Search, Format and quality (quality table folded) and YouTube; watched folder in Libraries, audio delay in Analysis and playback, light mode in Performance, DJSync split into Updates, About and This installation; labels and buttons aligned.
• Download engine: Check for an update no longer makes the page jump and says when it checked; Back to the built-in version instead of a button that did nothing.
• Search: faster when typing quickly (search has its own queue, view counts only for the visible rows, older ones dropped); Size column in the high-quality search (the Views column showed the size).
• Also: Estimated quality (instead of Real quality: it is an estimate from the spectrum); analysis after a batch of downloads counts the whole batch from the start (no more going back to zero); collapsed sidebar a little bigger; checkboxes no longer cut at 125–150 % display scaling; Track page button and menu for SoundCloud imports (free download links hidden in the description); fewer harmless pyrekordbox lines in the logs; builds pinned to the PySide6 version the tests ran with.

🙏 A huge thank you to Tazyh for helping with testing.

Download

Your computer	File
Windows 10 / 11	DJSync.exe
macOS 11+ (Apple silicon: M1, M2, M3…) — beta	DJSync-macOS.dmg
Linux x86-64 — beta	DJSync-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz

Put it on your USB drive (or anywhere on the computer) and open it: nothing is installed on the
computer, your settings stay next to DJSync and are kept across updates.

• Windows: double-click DJSync.exe. SmartScreen warns about an unknown publisher (unsigned app):
  More info ▸ Run anyway. The first launch takes a moment (DJSync prepares its files once).
• macOS: open the .dmg, drag DJSync onto your USB drive (Finder sidebar), open it from the drive.
  First time only (app not signed by Apple): System Settings ▸ Privacy & Security ▸ Open Anyway.
• Linux: extract the DJSync folder to the drive and run DJSync/DJSync.

To update: from 1.2.0-rc.4, Settings ▸ DJSync ▸ Update does it in the app; otherwise replace DJSync with the new one. Close Rekordbox while DJSync writes to a library, and
keep a copy of your drive. SHA-256 checksums: the .sha256 files.
