v1.7.0-beta.1

[reupen]

Changes

Features

• Support for dynamic internet radio front cover images was added to the Artwork view panel. [#367]

  (Requires foobar2000 1.6.6 or newer.)

• Support for back cover, disc and artist stub images was added to the Artwork view panel. [#345]

• In the Artwork view panel, when the artwork type is not locked and the panel automatically switches to a different artwork type, it now returns to the previously selected artwork type once it’s available again. [#368, #381]

• A 'Reload artwork' command was added to the artwork view context menu. This forces a reload of artwork from source using current settings. [#351, #382]

• The list view scrolling speed when selecting items or using drag and drop was adjusted to be slower, particularly for short lists such as in Buttons options. [#349]

• The Item properties and Item details panels now expand and align tab characters. [#350]

• When multiple tracks are selected and some of them have a value for a particular metadata field and some do not, the Item properties panel now makes this clearer by appending '(not set)' to the list of values for that field. [#370]

• The Item properties panel now shows '(blank)' for a metadata field if it’s set but the value is an empty string. [#370]

• The Filter panel no longer focuses the first playlist item when using any of the send to playlist commands or actions. This improves compatibility with shuffle playback modes when 'Playback follows cursor' is enabled. [#352]

• In the playlist view, group titles now respect the 'Display ellipses in truncated text' option.

Bug fixes

• A bug causing misbehaviour of colour codes or a possible crash after scrolling in the Item details panel was fixed. [#372]

• A problem in the Buttons toolbar preventing buttons for certain File operations context menu commands from working was fixed. [#379]

  (Note that any existing such buttons won’t be automatically fixed; the command will need to be reselected or the button recreated for the button to work.)

• A problem where panels were queried for configuration data too frequently following #320 was resolved. [#364]

• A problem where GDI+ was used to load stub artwork images in the Artwork view panel instead of the Windows Imaging Component (WIC) was fixed [#371].

  (See the change log for version 1.4.0-beta.1 for more details on what this means.)

Internal changes

• The Zc:threadSafeInit- compiler option is no longer used. [#340]

• The component is now compiled using Visual Studio 2019 16.10.

• The component is now compiled using foobar2000 SDK 2021-02-23. [#362, #363]
