8.10 - April 17, 2008

• Audio: Attach: In the 'Attach Audio Files' window you can now specify whether the program should attach audio files to all albums, marked albums (the subset), or the selected albums in the Album View. This is useful, for example, if you have an album on both CD and LP, but only want to attach the audio files to the CD.
• Audio: Attach: There is a new 'Exclude folders already in database' option. When this is checked, the program will simply skip all folders that contain audio files already linked to the database. This can greatly speed up the scan process.
• Audio: Auto-Organize: Instead of selecting whether to process all albums/tracks, the subset, or the selection directly from the menu, you now select this in the 'Audio-Organize Audio Files' window.
• Audio: Auto-Organize: You can now use only the year part of a date field by adding "_year" after the field name. For example "%album.released_year%".
• Audio: Auto-Organize: If the album contains more than 9 discs, two digits are now automatically used for the %disc#% field.
• Audio: Auto-Organize: The file date is no longer modified by default. If you still want the program to set the file date when renaming files, open the 'Audio File Options' window, click the Misc tab and check the 'Modify file date when renaming file' box.
• Audio: Read from Tag: There is a new 'Compare dates' setting in the (new) 'Read from Tag' window that will instruct the program to compare the file date against the Tag Read field, and only read data from the tag if the audio file has been modified since you last read the tag. In addition, you now specify whether to update all, marked, or selected albums/tracks in this window instead of from the menu.
• Audio: Write to Tag: There is a new 'Compare dates' setting in the (new) 'Write to tag' window that will instruct the program to compare the Last Modified field against the Tag Write field, and only write data to the tag if you have edited the album/track since you last updated the tag. In addition, you now specify whether to process all, marked, or selected albums/tracks in this window instead of from the menu.
• Audio: Added a Goto Folder command on the Audio menu in the main window, the Album Edit window and the Track Edit window (you can also use the Ctrl+F2 shortcut).
