1.6.9
New
- Back and forward. The side buttons on your mouse (or Alt+Left and Alt+Right) now move back and forward between Search, Library and Settings, and through the folders you opened in Library, like in a browser.
- Compact sidebar. The arrow at the bottom of the left panel shrinks it to icons, so results get more room. It can also be turned on in Settings.
- Library remembers where you were. After a restart, Library opens the folder or tool you had open last.
- Ctrl+F. Jumps to the search field, or to the folder filter in Library.
Fixes & improvements
- Smoother typing in filters. Typing in the search filters and Library filters no longer stalls on large catalogs and libraries.
- Instruments for older charts. Songs whose song.ini lists no difficulties now show the instruments they actually have notes for.
- Clear buttons in text filters. Artist, Album and Charter filters get a small button to clear them.
- Clearer list view. In the Library list, songs have a note icon, so they stand out from folders, and single-file .sng charts are tagged SNG.
- Some fixes and visual improvements.
1.6.8
New
- Keep original Rock Band files. A new Converter switch in Settings, under Downloads, lets you save Rock Band charts (Xbox 360 CON and RB3CON) exactly as they are on the database, with no unpacking or conversion. A song's download menu can also switch it for just that song.
- Search and Library buttons. The top bar now has Search and Library side by side, so you can jump between them from anywhere, Settings included.
Fixes & improvements
- Clearer filters. The Filters button now counts every active filter in Search and Library, and Clear filters button appears right next to it.
- Tidier Library filters. The filter panel in Library is laid out on one grid and shows how many songs match.
- Release notes load right away. Settings, Updates shows the notes for your version instantly, even after a restart.
- Smoother filter panel. Opening and closing the filter panel no longer stutters right after a filter change.
- Some fixes and visual improvements.
1.6.7
New
- Click a charter to see their charts. In Search it shows every chart by that charter, in My Library the songs they charted in the folder you have open.
- Release notes in Settings. The Updates page now shows what's new in your version, and you can expand everything from the current series.
- Reset all settings. A new button in Settings, under Maintenance, puts every setting back to its default. Your folder and game paths stay as they are.
Fixes & improvements
- Better game detection. Clone Hero installed with the official launcher and YARG in a custom location are now found automatically. If a game still isn't found, Chart Manager remembers where it is once you start it, and a new Detect button looks for it again.
- Compact rows in My Library. The Compact rows setting now also applies to song cards in My Library.
- Some fixes and visual improvements.
1.6.6
Fixes & improvements
- Only charted instruments are shown. Some charts list every instrument in song.ini even when only guitar is charted. Search and My Library now show only the instruments that actually have notes.
- Clearer difficulty info. Songs now show which difficulties they include as small E, M, H and X squares, and the 0 to 6 rating per instrument is now called Intensity, so the two are easier to tell apart.
- Some fixes and visual improvements.
1.6.5
New
- See which difficulties a chart includes. Search and My Library now show whether a chart goes from Easy to Expert, is Expert only, or has just some levels, and you can filter by them. Handy for finding charts you can play on Easy or Medium.
- Filter My Library by artist and album. Click an artist or album on a song to see all its songs in the current folder, or type them into the new Artist and Album filters. Library filters now include songs in subfolders too.
Fixes & improvements
- Faster My Library with large collections. Opening big folders and filtering thousands of songs is much quicker and no longer freezes the window.
- Quick catalog update. After this update the chart catalog is refreshed from the installer in a few seconds instead of being downloaded again.
- Some fixes and visual improvements.
1.6.4
New
- Selection stays across pages. Select songs on one page of search results, move to the next page and keep selecting, then download them all at once.
- New interface options. Settings > Search & interface now has compact rows to fit more songs on the screen, reduce motion to turn off animations, and a volume slider for song previews.
Fixes & improvements
- Deleting a song that is playing works. Deleting, moving or renaming a song while it plays in the player or preview no longer fails or leaves an empty folder behind.
- Some minor fixes and improvements.
1.6.3
New
- Other folders in My Library. Add any folder with charts outside Songs, like an archive on an external drive, and browse it just like your Songs folder with album art, previews and filters. Then copy or move the songs you want into Songs.
- Warning before copying a song twice. When you copy or move songs into a folder that already has them, you can skip those, keep only different versions, or copy anyway.
- Genre filter finds any genre. Type a genre or pick one from suggestions taken from both databases, and every genre containing it matches, so "funk" also finds Funk Rock or R&B/Soul/Funk.
Fixes & improvements
- Lower CPU use while you play. Animations pause while the app is in the background, which fixes high CPU use and battery drain on Mac with Clone Hero running.
- Some fixes and visual improvements.
1.6.2
Fixes & improvements
- Failed downloads can be opened from the queue. When a chart can't be downloaded automatically, the queue now has an Open in browser button and a link to the charter's Google Drive folder, so you don't have to find the song in the results again.
- Some fixes and visual improvements.
1.6.1
Fixes & improvements
- All extra copies follows the filter in Duplicates. With Identical or Different versions selected, only the copies in that view are selected and deleted.
- Right-click a folder in the sidebar of My Library for the same actions as in the list, without leaving the folder you have open.
- Folder details show an album art collage of the songs inside.
- Starting a preview on a song card selects the song and shows it in the side panel.
- Error messages in My Library show up again when an action fails, for example a rename.
- A few smaller fixes, including fast clicks on the song menu starting the player and a faster switch between Duplicates and Broken songs.
1.6.0
New: Setlists and Duplicates, built into My Library
- Setlists and Duplicates are now full screens in My Library instead of pop-up windows, with the same look as the rest of the library.
- Setlists show album art with song previews, total length, and a compact list view. Songs that are no longer in your library keep their last known name, and you can remove all of them in one click.
- Duplicates & broken songs compares copies side by side as cards with album art, previews, instruments and extras like stems or video. One click selects every extra copy and keeps the best one.
- Prefer instruments for different versions — pick guitar, bass, drums, keys or vocals and the version that has them charted is kept.
- Broken copies are flagged among duplicates and never picked as the best copy.
Fix broken songs in bulk
- Fix all finds a replacement for every broken song in a folder and all its subfolders, lets you check the suggested versions, and downloads them in one go. Each download replaces its broken folder.
- Broken songs are now found in every subfolder, not just the folder you have open.
Search
- Click an artist on a result to see all of their charts, collaborations included.
- Click an album to see every chart from that album by the same artist.
- Artist filter in the Filters panel replaces the Album field.
Fixes & improvements
- Choose what happens to deleted songs — send them to the Recycle Bin or delete them permanently, in Settings.
- Big folders are much faster in My Library, scrolling stays smooth even with thousands of songs.
- The catalog status now shows in the bottom left whenever the app checks for new charts.
- Layout fixes for larger UI scale, and a few smaller fixes.
