Debra Midi Player 1.2.2
Debra Midi Player 1.2.2
Quality-of-life release after 1.2.1: faster loading, a cleaner Library, and system-wide playback hotkeys.
Faster loading (Library + Catalogue)
- New song metadata cache: title, duration, and note counts are parsed once and remembered between sessions.
- Before: every launch re-parsed every MIDI file in your Library and Catalogue cache. Now: the first launch after this update builds the cache, and every launch after that is near-instant.
- The cache refreshes automatically when a MIDI file changes on disk.
Library stays yours
- No more automatic folder re-import at startup. The Library only reloads the songs already in it; use the Refresh button to pick up new files from your library folder.
- Playing from the Catalogue no longer adds the song to your Library cards. Same for adding a Catalogue track to a playlist.
- One-time cleanup: Catalogue downloads that earlier versions auto-added to your Library are removed from it on first launch (your favorites and playlists are untouched).
Global playback hotkeys
- New ⌨ toggle in the player bar (next to auto-play): when enabled, Play/Pause, Stop, Previous, and Next hotkeys work everywhere on your PC — even when neither Debra nor the game is focused.
- Off by default (previous behavior: hotkeys only work while Debra or the game has focus). The setting is saved.
Install / update
- On v1.1.2+: use the header Update button, or download DebraMidiPlayer-1.2.2-portable.zip from GitHub.
- Close Debra. Extract over your portable folder — same level as your current
DebraMidiPlayer.exe, not into a new subfolder. - Run DebraMidiPlayer.exe. Header should show v1.2.2.
