d49r0 April 8 2008 Lite Pro
fixed the crash when trying to use any applescript (eg: sending a crash report(!) or unzip with stuffit)
no longer get a beep if you rip a song that has no artist info (not that you could do that anyway)
the CDG encoder is back to transitioning pages from top to bottom. only the text sweeping now goes left to right. hmm, i'll have to fix that for right-to-left scripts... eventually there will be a "transition" popup so you can select what type of transition you want
no more "ASSERT(i_songID != SDB_kOrphanID)" oops!!
Producer: no more assert(page_rec.size()
Producer: new kind of template: resource path. eg: "[/Resources/kJams.pct]" will load up the picture from the kJams resource folder. note: only the Resources folder is supported, and only .pct files are supported. And there's only one pict in there, and it's kJams.pct. so really only that picture is supported. haha.
d49r1 April 9 2008 Lite Pro
some people were crashing when ripping SuperCDG discs. I tweaked the code a bit, i hope that helps. Tho i'm sure i'll find out soon enough. Update: Shit.
some people were crashing on startup. fixed.
Producer:
- You can use the Secret Prefs to set which intro and outro template to use for your TunePrompter conversions
- TunePrompter conversion uses a slightly better font size and now has more correct spacing. (tho vertical offset i think is still wrong)
- in the timeline window, you can now see the lyrics across the timeline
- in the timeline window, it now animates all slickly when you press play (sweeeet!)
- the graphics window does not flash up your comps during play or when the mouse button is down
- in the timeline window, each lyric has a little bar showing you it's start / end time
- in the timeline window you can now drag and trim each lyric to fix the timing. dam this is fucking cool.
d49r2 April 11 2008 Lite Pro
no longer crashing during FindMatchingSong, not sure when that happens but it's fixed
still have NOT fixed the bug ripping SuperCDGs, i don't think...
you can search by PLI again, but not for long. you need to be using Song IDs, not PLI
Producer
- when loading in a previously existing TunePrompter file, the duration would not be set, fixed
- loading existing TunePrompter files would cause the file names to be "unrecovered" meaning em-dashes got turned back into dashes, this would cause the cache to get out of sync and you'd lose some of your work, plus the metadata would no longer be recoverable from the file name.
- i lost the justify command, for text, now it's back
- fixed a rendering bug that would cause some text pages to load at the wrong time, possibly overwriting the sweep text that followed
- you can now drag the comp bars from the left edge
- fixed dragging comp elements in the video window (you can now see what you're dragging again)
- while working in the timeline, your changes are saved automatically
- durations are now correctly set for all comp bars
d49r3 April 12 2008 Lite Pro
Two new meta massaging features: "Title Case" and "Inter Caps". Title case will convert artist/album/song name/genre using Title Case (capitalizing start and end, and middle words that are not in the list: an, the, of, at etc). Inter Caps will capitalize every word.
every dialog that said "One Moment Please" now has a elipsis "…" after it :)
if you try to delete a song, or add to library, during a SORT task, you are denied with a warning. HAH! (prevents you from crashing yourself)
if you select more than 10 songs and go "reveal in finder" you're asked if you really meant to do that.
when you "reinterpret names" on a large selection, you now get a progress dialog, how nice! now it doesn't seem hung.
when you drag and drop into the app, you now get the warning dialogs about that it does not copy and you're offered a chance to pick tags or meta (if you haven't shut that off)
Fixed "Menu/File/Rip Selected" to say the right thing
no longer leaking Coca goo all over the floor the first time you do export to quicktime
when ripping to quicktime, no longer write meta data xml into the cache (not necessary since it is written into the library, just makes clutter)
fixed a file corruption bug when using QuickTime.mov+G as your encoder, would cause the file to become unusable, you'd go to play it and get nothing, no warning, just no song. Due to meta data rewrite corruption. I'm no longer even attempting to write meta to QuickTime files since it's so spotty, i'm just bailing to Xattr.
setting a meta to it's default value will now delete the meta (since asking for a missing meta returns the default value, thus saving space)
Pro: the singer's "Here" list is now updated (re-sorted) when singers are marked here or not (if you're sorted by "here")
Pro: the list of singers in the sources panel is now correctly updated as singers are added/removed
intercap and titlecase now do the correct thing with "AC/DC" :)
when you right (control) click on the sort column headers (to add or remove columns), 1) if you click past the end it no longer shows something to pick at the top and 2) if you are scrolled to the right it actually works, rather than pretending you are not scrolled at all
the song name interpretation dialog will now allow you to use the Song Name instead of the File Name. This lets you "fix" songs that would not interpret correctly (usually due to an extra or missing space beside a dash) then reinterpret. You can also reinterpret *ignoring* em-dashes if you hold the option key when bringing up the dialog.
in the Interpret dialog, names are drawn in "recovered" format, (no em-dashes, or squished slashes etc)
when clicking in the browser window, your click will bring it forward
Producer
- the "Fade" button now creates a real comp marker that you can drag around and set the duration
- the "fade out" inserted at the end of a KTP file now uses the above comp marker thing
- when dragging the time marker in the Overview pane (top timeline), while the song is playing, it will continue to play even while you're dragging
- you can only open PICT files. if you try to open another kind, it yells at you. nicely.
- really really actually fixed the picture aspect ratio, when you import a PICT that is taller than it is wide
- the assert now says "Timing Conflict", and i hope it doesn't happen a lot
- it's no longer possible to have a duration of less than zero
d49r4 April 20 2008 Lite Pro
meta data shown under Singers list and inside Singer playlists is now correct. Would occasionally show meta data from global song info rather than from singer's song info.
editing meta data under Singers is now correct. Would always edit global song info, and would seemingly randomly assign the data to whatever it felt like. Now always goes to correct spot.
when you do drag and drop, drag regions of the dragged songs is now correct for all meta data, not just the sanctioned elite
you can now show all kinds of meta data in the Singers list that you could not show before (and edit). eg: song name etc. now it seems kindof like the KJ Rotation list, hmmm.
no longer crashing when setting meta data to default values. would crash on singer's song meta data, or on singer meta data, and occasionally on song meta data. wow
if you drop songs onto the kJams icon, if you do that during (or before) startup, or while a sort task is going, then you'll get a progress dialog for "add to library" that sez it is waiting for the sort task to finish, then it will add your stuff. (adding / removing during a sort will crash you, as you all know)
default tempo string says "1.00" instead of nothing or dash
Producer:
- if you try to save a template when you're NOT on a comp marker, you'll get a warning instead of an assert-crash
- In TunePrompter, you can now split words by syllable. To do that, break each syllable with "- " (that's a dash and a space). kJams will sew the syllables together magically. Your brain will have less cognitive dissonance when attempting to tap out the timing of the lyrics. I always tap the space bar on syllables and not words and it was driving me batty, having to re-do the song again. eg: here's a lyric: "Well we're all in the mood for a mel- o- dy, and you've got us feel- in' all right". See how i split the syllables? Sweet.
- when you add or remove a comp element, it is automatically baked.
d49r5 April 21 2008 Lite Pro
if you have a fresh library (say you just downloaded kJams for the first time, or you threw out your library), then you can't add songs, cuz it says "please wait for the sort tasks to finish". oops. fixed.
the song name interpret dialog no longer shows "song: <song name>" for all three strings after the first screen refresh
song name interpretation now actually works for "song name" and for the secret "option invoke" that ignores em-dashes (treats them like regular dashes so you can interpret from the song name)
d49r6 April 22 2008 Lite Pro
now supports the new actual Producer plugin
when you install the producer plugin, there's a new pref panel for it (much like the Burning pref panel)
d49r7 April 22 2008 Lite Pro
Burner: if you try to burn a disc with a missing song, instead of crashing you'll just get a warning
when selecting the "Singers" folder (the venue folder), if you have a large library it no longer takes a while for it to sort
if you have a large library the "instant sort tasks" (pre-sorting name, artist, album) were accidentally run in parallel, which slowed them all down to a crawl. Back to sorting them in sequence which is much faster.
if you paste a coupon into the serial number dialog, it now informs you of your wicked ways
if you fail to activate a plugin (burner or producer) the app window no longer erroneously says "Tryout"
if you have a singer that believes they are in the rotation when they're really not, you don't crash on startup. This can happen when making aliases in the finder to singers in other venues, or when dragging singers from other venues or from a backup
stuffit expander "last resort" is now defaulted to OFF
Producer:
- the timeline window now has a little "grow box" cursor when you hover over the lower right corner
- applying templates (or anything else really) now actually really does correctly set the duration of the comp blob
- selecting a comp blob now shows itself in the Video window (was supposed to be showing, but the mouse was down)
- if you drag the time marker to the in-point of a comp blob, it now shows itself in the video window (similar to above)
- when adding or removing comps or comp elements, re-baking is automatic
- "Editor" window has been renamed "Timeline"
- Timeline window has been revamped to be easier to use. Comp markers are now blobs, and you get rollover cursors to show you when you can resize or move them, and you can move them at any zoom level as long as you get a cursor that indicates it, and it's all done with CoreGraphics instead of QuickDraw
- dragging the second blob in the timeline you can no longer overlap the first blob by dragging to the left
- the timeline will now autoscroll if you drag off the screen to the right or left
- if you select a comp and press delete (and there is nothing selected) it will act as if you selected all elements and pressed delete (which will delete the whole comp)
d49r8 April 22 2008 Lite Pro
no longer crashing when switching venues
when you "pull meta data" it will also pull from CAVS meta data files
CAVS meta files now support all the formats i could find, including "juke.txt" and "list.txt" (caps or not) and in several flavors of formats
CAVS files that have the ".cdg" extension but are actually encrypted will now "just work"
Updated copyright year when you choose "About"
one step closer to being able to "just play" TunePrompter files (no you can't bake/burn them, you need Producer for that)
that "skip silence option that makes the whole track silent" bug? well, i put a bit of extra logging around it to help me track it. not fixed yet.
fix crash: if you happen to get into text edit mode the moment you delete a playlist or singer, you don't crash
fix crash: i said i fixed the problem of clicking on an album playlist when it's empty. well, i really did fix it now, no more crash
no longer writing blank meta data that fills up your hard drive hah
"block pushing" and "pulled meta" are no longer considered meta data, they're now just member variables
more logging when you get an error parsing meta info from a template
broke MCG and NCG, fixed
new preference so you can decide to use expander, please don't use it
really forced the "unzip with stuffit expander" to be off. if you want it on, go ahead, but it's not recommended
unzipping again takes place on a back thread, where it belongs (unless you use expander, please just don't)
if you try to delete your whole library, i now tell you how to do it the right way.
fix crash: you can no longer rip while there are sort tasks going. hah.
loading your library will update the progress bar more often
fix crasher: if a sort task completed on a back thread, the completion now runs on the main thread as expected
you can now *remove* the space bar from the play command in the menus, using the cusomizable shortcuts
scary fundamental low level change to "SetMetaData", now, if the data exists, it is updated in place, rather than deleted and updated. this 1) is more correct and 2) prevents the deleter from calling back saying "hey i got deleted" cuz it didn't, it got updated
fix crash: a very long standing bug when reading song info from a singer. dont know how i didn't see this before
no longer setting the DB dirty (needing to be saved) when you update meta but have blocked pusing (eg: when *reading* meta)
Pro:
- You can now opt to show a "rotation screen" in between songs, or when you hit command-9, it's in the "Video" menu
- under advanced preferences, there is a checkbox to turn above feature on and off
- new secret prefs: rotation screen template name, and start time and duration. start time is really "how many seconds from end of song", default is 2, duration is 10
- you can see the rotation screen also in the "Artwork" panel
Producer:
- the color chip pick-whip thing draws the hilite in the right spot (no longer off by 1)
- if you edit a naked MP3 file, it will ask if you mean to create a new video, instead of just failing
- the new "Rotation" screen available to pro users is editable using Producer, it's just a regular template
- When baking a comp, if it's set duration is greater than it's minimum duration, it will be set to it's minimum duration, to avoid overwriting other data
- the Redo stack is not blown away just by moving the time needle
- Applying a template now saves the CDG stream that it replaces, so when you undo, the original stream is restored
- When baking a TunePrompter song, it now places the "new page" instructions between (two seconds) and (the minimum duration) before the page starts sweeping, flushed left as much as possible. it will shorten the last page's last word sweep to force it to fit if necessary
- the absolute minimum duration of any instruction is now 1 instead of zero (you could not grab it otherwise)
- you can now specify the templates used for Intro and Outro screens in the preferences
- in the inspector window, "numbers" are now blue and underlined, indicating you can click them. but you can't really click them, you have to "scrub" them, that is, click and drag on them to change their values.
- there are now rollover cursors for the "numbers" so you can tell when you're going to hit them
- if you start to drag a color chip to the palette but then decide not to, it no longer sets the color to something random
- undo strings for dragging comp blobs around are now better
- if you drag a comp blob around, it will undo in one fell swoop, rather that pushing dozens of undo tasks
d49r11 May 3 2008 Lite Pro
fix crash on startup
fix crash after a song plays
d49r12 May 4 2008 Lite Pro
Lite and Pro users can now play TunePrompter files directly, and they look real slick!
When translating TunePrompter files for kJams, i now set the font size and placement correctly (was faking it before, which looked good for small fonts but real wrong for large fonts)
The Intro screen on TunePrompter files now gets set to it's minimum duration (was setting it's duration to way longer than necessary)
Pro:
- When showing the Rotation screen between songs, it will no longer show [SNGR]: [name] when there are no songs to show, it just shows blank
- Also when you ran out of singers, the graphic logo would turn into text describing the graphic logo: fixed
- Also it now erases the border around the graphics area correctly in both the video and artwork windows (when the aspect ratio is not at the default)
Producer:
- When editing TunePrompter files, you now get to see the slick, high quality version of the graphics and text (you'll be able to shut that off soon if you want to see only the CDG stream)
- The first time you edit a TunePrompter file, you no longer have to manually bake it with the option-click the timecode secret button. But don't forget to SAVE!
- The light gray rectangles surrounding objects now draw outside the edge of them instead of inside their borders
- when manipulating a "Fade" blob, it no longer shows black, since that's counter intuitive
- The Inspector window now remembers it's position
- sometimes things would not draw right, or update right, or have the right font size. all fixed.
d49r13 May 5 2008 Lite Pro
secret pref: QT Export now allows "30 second demo" export that will fade to black/silence after 30 seconds
if you turn the above on, you can set another secret pref that indicates the export name template for the "sample" movies
new preference: always bring video window to front. feel free to turn it off
if "skip silence at start of song" might cause total silence then you get a warning in plain language
new preference: always warn if current song would be interrupted
new export option: BIN files
new amazingness: you can use the online meta-databases now with just a playlist. eg: make a playlist that has exactly one album's worth of songs in it, reorder them so they are in the correct (Track) order (by drag and drop, not by sorting by track, that won't work) then go get from the freedb or whatever.
when adding to library, you now get a real progress bar, rather than indeterminate, wow!
no more hang / crash when you do new preset playlist
if you push meta on a zipped file, and push it again while it's zipping, no longer hang
new Advanced menu options: Album all caps, and change artist name to "Last, First" or back
if you delete the last song from your library, holding down command will force it to work, rather than explaining to do it in the finder
the "interpret names" progress dialog now shows correct string label
you can now set a secret pref saying how many QT export threads are allowed to run at once. default: 2
when importing monster DB, only update the progress dialog every 1/4 second
moving your DB from intel to PPC or back could have caused a crash, fixed
fixed intermittent hang unzipping files yeah!
Pro:
- singer meta "SRCE" no longer improperly set to singer name (waste of space)
- the "add to singer" context menu is now alphabetized, and also shows the "not here" singers
- if you have "pause between songs" turned on, the "On Deck" screen (showing Rotation between songs) will not go away until you un pause
Producer:
- the Inspector panel was re-written, using CoreGraphics, re-layed out to make more sense
- new inspector panel option: show high quality (turn it off to see actual CDG stream)
d49r15 May 10 2008 Lite Pro
don't crash ripping songs duh
don't accidentally delete song files when using new "get meta from online database" on a playlist
new Advanced->Special->Set User Sort Order: takes the current display order and renumbers the User Sort (#) to match
in theory, sort order for things should no longer get all wonky for all playlists (used to work ONLY for showing playlist)
several file path types are now hidden due to near uselessness
d49r16 May 11 2008 Lite Pro
when "Add to library"-ing a large set of folders, the progress bar no longer counts wrongly, showing that you're done when in fact you're not
of course, also don't crash
also don't assert about ".DS_Store" not being a folder
when using the new ability to grab meta data for a playlist that contains a single album, there is no longer the possibility that your songs will GET DELETED. oops, sorry guys, hope you didn't lose much, you DO make backups right?
if pusing tags fails to unzip, it no longer feels the need to try again next time you start up
when renaming files, the file path meta data is always updated in case you're watching
no longer trying to stop a song that is not playing if there's an error unzipping it
in theory, again, maybe things will sort correctly after you change meta on lots of songs. we'll see.
all the progress dialogs that used to have the interesting words in the window title and "one moment please" in the window itself, now that's switched
the arrow keys will now invoke the "are you sure you want to interrupt the current song?" dialog if you have that option checked
d49r17 May 12 2008 Lite Pro
importing a very large library (add to library) now goes significantly faster, but the progress bar is still inaccurate, tho better
d49r18 May 13 2008 Lite Pro
you can now select multiple songs and change popups (like Vocal Channel or Pitch) all at once
Ripping a SuperCDG has been optimized a bit more, should be faster now
secret pref to turn off the warning when you delete the last song in your library
the scary problem of the DB that no longer saves i think has been FIXED !!!!
crash if you must encode orphans upon startup has been fixed
exporting a QuickTime movie again sets the meta on the .mov
the "Get Info" command was erroneously available when there was nothing selected, leading to asserts
the tracks list no longer jumps around after pushing meta, or loses your scroll position, or loses your selection (we hope)
d49r19 May 14 2008 Lite Pro
FIXED MAJOR DATA LOSS PROBLEM!!! Where your library would stop saving if you're working on your meta data (editing song names / albums / artists, or reinterpreting names etc)
fixed a whole class of bugs where global data was being accessed on background threads without protection! If this happens you'll get an assert. Hold command + option to avoid an endless stream of asserts and hope for the best.. if that happens, do a force save (command option shift S) then wait for the save progress bar in the tasks window to finish, then quit (forcing if necessary). SEND ME YOUR LOG FILE
when pulling meta, if the MP3 is bad (takes more than 5 seconds to load it's meta data) it is flagged as bad, with a warning
you can now import .lrc files (with accompanying audio file by same name). it's not perfect yet, and there's no way to set options like font size, color, number of lines etc. it's a rudimentary beginning. You can edit them with producer too.
fixed another case of songs not remembering where they are on disk
when you use the Advance menu to do any meta data massage, the files are renamed IMMEDIATELY and then SAVED in the DB. this *drastically* reduces the chances that you'll lose any data at all if, for example, you, Goddess forbid, crash, while pushing the meta.
the Que tasks now number from (1..N) instead of (0..N-1)
the "KJPro™" online database reader no longer uses "&" as a delimiter, now reads entire data area. (this would eg: cut off an name that had an "&" in it)
you can now *delete* data from a meta data string by entering "-" (a lone dash). To actually enter a dash, enter two dashes. The reason you don't want to just select the text and delete it, is that happens all too often by accident, and there is no undo.
Producer: When you use the "Clear" button, it now makes a real comp blob, so you don't overwrite it accidentally
Producer: you can again drag around in the little bitmap to set your "FONT" graphic blocks
Producer: no longer filling log file with "ignoring QuickDraw"
d49r20 May 17 2008 Lite Pro
SuperCDGs will remember their meta if you edit on disc, next time you stick the disc in your edits will be there still
for TunePrompter and LRC files you can now "Get Media Info" and set things like number of lines, text and sweep color, font, size etc
No more asserts ripping SuperCDG
No more five second songs when ripping SuperCDG (you now get the full song again durrr)
songs on CDs (and SuperCDGs) no longer get "stuck" wanting to save the DB over and over (they're not in the DB)
Full support for LRC files now, including "Enhanced" LRC files
Producer Inspector window no longer gets the little text all schmutzy on the edges
d49r21 May 20 2008 Lite Pro
support for UltraStar (SingStar) files. Just load up the main folder and it'll be scanned for songs. You can convert them to CDG and burn to disc if you use Producer
if you're Trashing Original Files, and one can't go cuz it's not found, it does not interrupt the trashing process, you just get a warning
fixed a bad bud in the CDG encoder where, if your comp ended up with only one color (eg: you type a single string and it is not anti-aliased) or zero colors (the string is off the screen) then it would fill the screen with black or white, wasting a huge swath of your precious CDG records. This has been optimized and fixed
MediaStream engine (used for TunePrompter, LRC, SingStar)
- would always encode the last page twice, now it's only once. duh.
- could create overlapping records, which would render wrong and otherwise wreak havoc, now records are squished to the left to compensate, no more overlap!
- broke the ability to use dashes as syllable separators, fixed. same bug would not trim trailing spaces, also fixed
the NameFormat dialog could assert(0) if you had an illegal character in your name templates file. now it gives an explanatory warning.
d49r22 May 23 2008 Lite Pro
Many places that used to "Assert(IsMainThread)" now give you the option to crash and send me the crash report. PLEASE CRASH if you can, or i won't be able to FIX these problems. Of course, don't opt to crash if you're in the middle of a song.
deleting a targeted playlist no longer asserts
many deadlocks (hangs) and crashes related to ripping, orphan encoding, sorting, and meta data editing have been resolved (whew!)
the "warn if a song will be interrupted" is now hooked into Quit and Add To Library (when you add one song)
when you change values in the Media Info dialog, it actually gets SAVED for next time duh
if you're doing a huge push, it'll no longer be blocked if you get the "problem updating the meta info" dialog. it'll just keep chugging in the background.
when reinterpreting names, no longer stalls out removing items from the "* could not rename" playlist, actually finishes!
when adding SingStar (UltraStar) files, no longer adding ".txt" files to the library, duh
the sample movie in the quicktime export settings preferences dialog has been updated
you really *CAN* set a meta value to "nothing" (NULL) by putting in a dash "-". To *actually* enter a dash, just enter two dashes. Note however that if you then get info and press OK, it will change to nothing. complain if this is a hassle and i'll fix it.
no longer doing "Capital Case" on all MP3 meta tags when you Pull (or import). (still happens if ALL meta is in ALL CAPS)
percent sign in a song name should no longer cause a crash. let me know if it does!
d49r23 May 27 2008 Lite Pro
fixed the "telling a CD it's not a CD" bug wow finally jeeeeeezum
maybe hopefully fixed the mysteriously orphaned files during ripping
fixed the progress bar lockup (sorting) during ripping
you can now reinterpret names even if the files are offline / missing
updated explanation in the "you're about to crash" dialog, suggesting to NOT send the report to Apple.
optimized meta-setting to ignore songs that aren't in the library
when ripping a disc, i'll now only chuck the sorted list when necessary, so it doesn't need to keep getting rebuilt
the browser window's view of your meta data now updates as it changes (again)
d49r24 May 29 2008 Lite Pro oops i fucked up
i had broken meta data pushing (eg: updating ID3 tags) for zipped files. any zip file pushed with r24 needs a new push.
Producer and the Media Player (ie: TunePrompter, LRC and SingStar files) now work on 10.3.9, and you don't crash, wow.
Media Player files now get parsed and built much faster, plus they get a progress bar
TunePrompter files that break words in to syllables (by inserting "- " between syllables) now works again, it was broke
UltraStar files are a bit smarter about finding all the files that go into one song, rather than splitting them up and thinking they're more than one song
Japanese and German should have better looking curly quotes and stuff
the log file is back to UTF8, got munged thru the wrong text encoding
d49r24 May 31 2008 Lite Pro
There's new new preset playlists: Duplicate Files (Strict), Cull Duplicates (Strict) (both require album name), Duplicate Files (Loose), Cull Duplicates (Loose) (neither require album name)
New Special->Clear all “Tonight” lists by popular request
Targeted Searches wow!
if there is an attempt to index off the end of a playlist, you will crash so i can get the report. sorry guys, but them's the breaks, i need to be able to fix it.
no more "asert no relative file type"
when quitting, it's more likely you won't crash and won't hang
when using the "swap" meta data commands, if a song can't be found, you don't assert then crash, it just gets skipped
not that you care, but "project" files (TunePrompter, SingStar, LRC) are now marked as such, rather than as zip files
loading projects is a wee bit faster due to skipping the setting of the file alias if there is no file
no longer will crash when requesting a playlist item's item ID, if that item is somehow gone
when searching, meta data, you can now search: genre, composer, publisher, rendition, comment, keywords, bio, year, key (as in B flat minor), date
when quitting, when aborting thread queues, i continually wake them until they realize they need to exit (before i only woke them once, but they sometimes fell back to sleep before exiting)
Producer:
- you can actually change the font size of TunePrompter files after the fact. so make'em small in TP, then resize when you get to kJams
- no longer setting the meta info of the song based on TunePrompter info
- Markers!! Note this feature is not done yet. While playing a song, you can tap the keypad '*' key to lay down markers at that moment. To erase markers, surround the marker with the orange selection brackets and hold ⌘ and press the "Clear" button (note: not the clear or delete key on the keyboard, but the actual button in the timeline window
d49r25 June 8 2008 Lite Pro
you can now specify via secret pref the duration of the "sample" QT export length (which is itself a secret pref). hold the option key when picking export to set the duration. More Info.
SingStar files will now be "searched for" if they're missing (they end in ".txt")
you can now "re-link" any mediastream file type or even meta data ".xml" files to a song
kJams will now play "high quality" graphics from Producer-created songs (ie: NOT sourced from LRC, SingStar or TunePrompter)
QT Export will now use "High Quality" graphics if you're exporting from a mediastream file (LRC, SingStar, TunePrompter or Producer)
if you're "scrubbing" the play head, it won't show the "on deck" rotation graphics (who's up next)

KMA files will be decoded by kJams. WARNING: kJams won't import the newly decoded files. this is a hack right now. all kJams does is decode them into Audio+G files. you then have to go thru and REMOVE the kma files from the folder, then reimport the folder. This'll get better later

d49r39 Aug 29 2008 Lite Pro
Fixed yet another bug with the database ID not updating when it should

Store list in sources window is now sorted by alpha

Check for Update dialog now says "Later" instead of "Cancel"

- "sweep" blobs are half height to show you visually where they are
- you can not edit sweep comp elements, you must edit the page from whence they came (the previous full-height blob in the timeline)

- WARNING: not done: setting justify and anti-alias
d49r45 Sep 14 2008 Lite Pro

- when changing an element size or position will bake it and the sweep text will sync, this is undoable
- you *can* change the anti-alias and sweep will sync, but it is NOT supported and doesn't do what you think. I'll be shutting this off until it does what you think it should
- You can no longer stretch NON-sweep comp blobs
- when a comp blob gets shorter (eg: change the point size smaller) then it erases the timeline that it no longer occupies
d49r46 Sep 14 2008 Lite Pro
if you add a song from a music store to a singer in any of the normal ways (drag to singer, drag to singer's tonight or faves list, target singer and double click, or right click song->add to singer or new singer) the song will be bought automatically before adding it to the singer
if you click "buy song" on a song that is selected, you are operating on the ENTIRE selection. eg: select 10 songs, hit buy song on one of the selected ones, you buy them all.
when ripping or submitting, if there's missing meta info, you're now told what is missing
if, when pushing meta, the zip file is corrupt, then kJams marks the song "pushed" and no longer tries to push it on next startup
when changing the song's file name on disk, kJams now records the new name, it was totally missing it before, would cause songs to go missing, and other bad problems, possible data loss. FIXED!

on quit, closing the database gets it's own progress bar

Producer

border color is now transparent (black) when "taking pictures"
optimized startup a teeny tiny bit again
the Lite version does NOT have the kJams Web Server
Updates and fixes to the kJams Web Server UI. Sorry they're not documented.
new Import pref "Play song on import" when you import / buy a single song
Producer
- You can now reference PICT files anywhere in your Preferences or kJams folder when making templates. This is similar to the "/Resources/" tag, you can now use "/Preferences/" or "/kJams/" as file-prefix tags. You can use subfolders as well, eg: "/Preferences/MyPix/foobar.pic" would resolve to /Users/<your user>/Library/Preferences/kJams/MyPix/foobar.pic. In this way you can distribute eg: a background picture with your template by including it with your preferences. Same story with the kJams folder (in your Music folder)
- when editing a Template that uses those "reference" tags noted above, they don't fail when you undo
- Rotation template strings are now outlined in black, so if you put them over a picture you can still easily read the text
d49r48 Sep 30 2008 Lite Pro
kJams Web Server:
- More comprehensive web server error logging.
- "Enable Web Server" check box unchecks if server fails to start.
you can now shut off the music stores in the prefs
fixed a serious design flaw for playing KTP files, no longer crash when you try to play them!
Producer:
- fixed a bug where a text sweep that "happened" to take only one instruction would always be shrunk down to the duration of one instruction, rather than allowing you to set it's duration
- fixed a bug where erroneously complied KTP files would be wrongly interpreted to have text sweeps with overlapping extents. this fixes them so that they never overlap.
- fixed a crashing bug when adjusting the font size, also, doing so is much faster
- when setting an instruction from none to something that is NOT none, it actually works.
added ability to show *any* producer template (not just rotation) as a "screen", via the "Graphics" menu.
you can now enter any message and have it display on screen via the Messenger (the black text with white outline, that will scroll if it's too long) via "Graphics->Messenger Message"
When playing KMA files or WMA files, and you have "skip silence at start of song" turned on, you don't hang
fixed a bug when attempting to play corrupted KMA files, will no longer crash
you can now use "Edit->Show Special Characters…" to show the character palette for entering crazy glyphs
if AtomicParsley (QuickTime MPEG meta-injector) fails to install due to an AFP permissions error, you get a nice explanation.
audio files that can be opened via QuickTime will now work when pulling meta. eg: m4a

d49r50 Oct 8 2008 Lite Pro
fixed random beep when playing some Media Stream files
searching no longer puts you in outer space (scroll bar wise)
~~lite version is revived~~ FAIL
d49r51 Oct 9 2008 Lite Pro
the Lite version now really REALLY does launch AND it doesn't crash on startup.
"skip silence" was only searching 1/10th of the song to find the start, then gave up. this would cause songs with very long start silence to play all the silence. Okay i've upped it to 1/4. So now i'll search up to 1/4 the duration of the song before giving up.
fixed a *very long* delay when editing meta on more than one file at once, AND you have many playlists (eg: interpret names or title case etc, on a large selection)
hooked up the "Screen Message" producer template screen
added a new "turn off screen message" menu item
picking several "template screens" in succession will now fade between them, rather than flick
converting a WMA or KMA or other legacy audio type that requires decompression on the main thread, now resets the thread to a background thread. (decompression on the main thread causes stutter in the graphics, that's why i recommend always converting KMA or WMA to MP3)
there's a new "Tip your Waitress" template screen
manually entered messenger messages will always show, even if the "show messages" pref is turned off
manually entered messenger messages will show for 7 seconds (there's a secret pref to change it)
fixed a bug where i don't know what could have gotten wrong but the data browser data did not update correctly
Producer: you can now use any type of graphic that QuickTime can open, not just PICT files. eg: jpg, gif, png, pdf, psd or whatever
Producer: when you save a new template, it is immediately available in the Video menu. Restart to get your custom keyboard shortcuts back.
d49r52 Oct 10 2008 Lite Pro
WMA and KMA files no longer cause bad video stutter when first played (still cause a weency bit, let me know if it's acceptable)
you can again use the "pitch" popup and the other popups
you can now tab into/out of the "tempo" field. (does not work in Rotation list)
your "Template Screens" which i haven't really come up with a good name for, will be cleaned up by this version of kJams. This means that things that may have been missing before should now appear, and old stuff that mistakenly got in there will go away.
various and sundry code cleanup under the hood
d49r53 Oct 16 2008 Lite Pro
fixed a bug causing a playlist to do "select all" at random times
You can select multiple songs, and if you change one meta data on one song it changes ALL selected songs to have that same meta data (!)
you can edit "tempo" in the KJ and regular Rotation browser list.
a single click gets you out of full screen mode
Music Store

- fixed a bad bug where it would NOT confirm purchases even when you explicitly said to. sorry guys! won't happen again!
- fixed yet another crasher when purchasing multiple songs when you drag multi-select to the library
- fixed a bug in Pro where it would *always* re-download the store, rather than using the one it already loaded
Producer
- If you edit an existing CDG file, and simply add an intro screen, the graphics will NOT turn chunky, they stay smooth until they go away
- there's now a secret pref for exporting Producer edited files to QT, you can set "high qual" height and width.
- fixed an assert fail if a "sweep" only took 1 instruction longer than it's minimum duration
- I put back the "kJams Producer" template which i accidentally deleted
- When exporting a CDG file that you added SOME producer graphics to, it now works as expected (instead of only exporting the producer stuff, you also get your CDG stuff you didn't replace)
- You can now (very rudimentary) import "Karaoke Builder Projects" to kJams. No font support, no palette support (yet), but timed text and sweeping works!!
- when building a song, if the title screen won't fit, it simply isn't inserted. (later we'll just make the song have a silent intro so the title screen always fits)
- preliminary support for font templates (not used)
- if you hold the option key you can manually drag the affine rectangle of "sweeped" text (with the gray border outline)
d49r54 Oct 20 2008 Lite Pro
fixed a bug in Pro where it would load all your venues at once, possibly crashing, or making lots of Rotation icons
Producer: fixed a bunch of bugs related to reading KBP files. still no support for font templates, or palettes
For MediaStream files the "Get Media Info" dialog now has a "Preview" button, instead of previewing at intervals.
d49r55 Oct 21 2008 Lite Pro
no longer crash when exporting a Producer file to QuickTime

- support for Bold and Italic. (not together? do you ever do them together?)
- support for text alignment
- I prevent you from crashing if the VERY FIRST blob overlaps the second blob, and you click on the first blob, and scooting it to the left would have made it go to a negative time. instead, you must drag the second blob to the right
when setting meta data directly within the browser, if you have multiple items selected you'll now get a confirmation dialog "did you mean to do this"?
when *pulling* meta data, this sets the DB to be dirty. DUH!!!! (this was causing loss of data if you did a pull then quit)
fixed yet another situation where files had "gone missing" when they should not have. I swear i'll get'em all one day!
songs "gone missing" where ":" chars were strangely replaced with "_" chars are no longer missing
songs that were "kinda" missing due to being moved or renamed, but that were still found now get their DB entry updated so they are "fully" found.
songs that are zipped that are missing, now it says "this was missing, want to find it?" instead of ignoring you
if you tried to play a "MediaStream" file and it failed, this would cause all subequent media stream files to not show any graphics in the Video window. fixed.
when doing a QuickTime export, if the song is missing, it is simply skipped, rather than halting other exports
no longer crash if QT export fails at a certain point
QuickTime exports no longer "randomly" fail (would fail when the temp items folder got purged)
stuff in the Messenger text no longer has the "strange" version of the ":" character
some zip files that were reported "corrupted" are actually not. these are now detected correctly and they work just fine.
when "update search results as you type" is turned on, no longer re-filter when you just use the arrow keys
d49r57 Obama 4th 2008 Lite Pro
when setting meta directly in the browser, you only get the confirm dialog when you have 2 or more items selected

if you get an error when kJams is trying to parse the music store, it no longer leaves you in a bad state which may cause a crash
when pulling meta data, kJams will now also update the file names on disc right away
instead of getting "ASSERT(i_curPlayListP->GetCurPliP());" sometimes, you now get "Stranger than Fiction error: The song you're trying to play is not in the current playlist."
adding to library would sometimes NOT set the meta data correctly. now it does
when "Converting Playlist selection to Library selection", it goes fast. real fast.
when you purchase a plugin, you now get the warning regarding closing the receipt window
unzipping songs totally broke. now fixed.
the "Name Parser Templates.txt" file will now correctly read the LAST line when it does NOT have a carriage return at the end

when importing KMA files using "Tags", the "interpret" dialog no longer comes up
when importing naked audio files, the duration is now set
when importing songs by name, the extension is stripped off
MIDI files that can't report their duration now do report their duration. right?
zip files were STILL failing to unzip properly, a symptom was they did not report duration after import, and probably other problems. fixed.
after importing, the songs now actually show up! and sorting does not make them disappear!
when you drag and drop to add to library, the drag is accepted before importing. (the old way would show the drag hanging around on the screen then "snapping back", visually indicating the drag was rejected even tho it was not)
when interpreting names (which can happen on import) sometimes the name was simply ignored and not interpreted, leaving blanks. Fixed.
fixed a crash on quit bug
d49r59 November 9th 2008 Lite Pro

- they now scrub their meta data on import (remove underscores, trim white space)
- they now know to set their meta data on import (so they know to use cooperative threading)
you know when some times super rarely no matter what song you seem to play it always plays the same (wrong) song? well it's about the selection not having been released on the song that keeps playing. now you know. i have not fixed the problem yet, but at least now you'll just get a warning instead of playing the song you didn't mean to. to fix it, try selecting another playlist, then go back. otherwise quit and run again.

TunePrompter fixes

d49r65 November 29th 2008 Lite Pro
fixed a bug where drag and drop was broken
d49r66 December 12th 2008 Lite Pro

cleaned up all sign mismatch compares (code cleanup)
prefs now only use one level dictionary, all prefs on root level. (note this is future code: the current version does not make any changes, it's just that this version is able to read the new format and write the old format. later, i'll turn on writing the new format, this allows you to use versions between this and that to "go back" to a previous version of kJams)
