Puddletag

New Features:
Amazon tag sources plus a bunch of small stuff.
Fixes:
Very many.

14 April 2010
New Features
Multiple tag sources support. Musicbrainz only for now, will add more over the coming week.
Tag mappings. Map a tag to whatever you want to.
Some tags were changed. See the puddletag.sourceforge.net/tags.html
More ID3 tags are supported.
Unicode in MP4 tags is supported.
Library code has been rewritten. Currently only QuodLibet is supported. Will add more week after next.
Some of the scripting functions with odd names (if_, not_, etc.) have been renamed to what they're supposed to be.
All icons not created by me are from the Oxygen icon set for KDE. As soon as I found out how to detect if GNOME is running, I'll add some Ubuntu icons.
Fixes:
Far too many to list.


5 November 2009
New Features:
The only new feature for this release is that the musicbrainz dialog now allows you to select individual tracks. I like it better now.
Fixes:
Some bugs with loading directories were fixed.

11 October 2009
New Features:
A Stored Tags dialog that shows the current tags of the selected file as stored on disk. Useful for when editing libraries and the tag differs from the tag on disk.
I added an option to allow retrieval of duplicates via a specific tag. This can speed things up for some searches.
And finally, a setup script.
Fixes:
There were a lot but the major ones are:
Duplicates can retrieve more than 300 at a time. (My fault for not checking.)
Musicbrainz now works for all cases (it gave an error when retrieving via 'album').
There ain't no more barfing of errors while editing text in the pattern combo.
Reloading works again (didn't even know it was broken).
Changes:
Instead of changing the background colour of a row, the Musicbrainz dialog now just bold the text that's to be written.

New Features:
A duplicates finder, which is super useful. It's not as well tested as I'd like so I'll make that a priority for the next release.
Rudimentary file-editing support had been added to the filesystem view.
Bugs were fixed where needed (I seriously need to remember to log this stuff)
Note that I haven't added any progress bars for these features (due in a week) so just have patience when using them (and keep an eye on the command line for errors).
Changes:
I've changed the config system to use ConfigObj as PyQt4's too buggy and Python's built in library too sucky.

The website looks a lot better.

New Features:
Loading times are improved by a couple of miliseconds.
Showing duplicates can now be slightly fuzzy by adding : in front of the tag that's to be used.
Added an :artist fuzzy compare listing to the libary view.
Fixes:
Sorting or doing anything else while some rows are higlighted is fixed.
Other little stuff that I can't remember.
Changes:
The user interface has been modified just a tad, to be me 'aligned.'

New Features:
Cut, copy, paste.
All Functions now have a saved history.
The current selection is now preserved when sorting.
Saving and loading is a lot faster. On par with Mp3tag.

Changes:
Because, of the cut, copy, paste actions being added. All window menus, were move to a new Windows Menu.
A progress indicator is shown when loading a music library.
An error message is shown (on the console) if a file failed to load.
puddletag settings are now stored in ~/.puddletag

Fixes:
Saving or changing the image type now works in both the tag editor and Extended tags dialog.
Also, the image controls being enabled or disabled depending on the file now works properly.
Clicking Cancel while loading or saving works instantly.

Bugs wrt to tagging were fixed, like:
Saving pictures on an mp3 file with the same description.
No more 'copy method' doesn't exist errors.
Flickering of the >> and << buttons belowe images were removed.
Buttons on the image editor are enabled or disabled depending on file.

Mp4 support was added (Mutagen > 1.9 is needed and Mutagen <= 1.9 isn't supported anymore.)
Bugs wrt FLAC are sorted.
And a console version was added. At the moment it's pretty basic, but as time goes on, it'll become better.
