New Features

* User defined properties for Media entries, tags and metatags: you are now able to define your own properties/attributes for these entities and define values for them in the properties panel

* bookmarks and scripts could have a path to group them in the menus. You can use “/” within the name of a bookmark or script to structure it in submenus in the UI

Filter Bricks

The new version 3.8 contains a nice new feature for quickly filtering data without knowledge of the underlying filter language. This makes it much easier to work with filters. You can now simply add a “brick” for a identifier e.g. for dir, tag, exif-tags, etc, and then simply choose the value to filter from a combobox.

Of course it has not the full power of the filter language, but in most cases this is enough to quickly filter and browse the data, and this all without deeper knowledge of the language itself in detail. The filter bricks get combined with the regular filter expression using a logical “and”. So you can combine simple filter tasks and sophisticated filtering within the filter editor.... read more

New Features

Better Auto Completion in Filter Editor and Grouping Editor

The auto completion in filter and grouping editor reacts now more on the context of the inputted text. The proposed completions therefore do now also contain tag names, metatag names, path fragments, comments, title or any exif tag content. This makes it much more powerful in helping to complete an expression.

For some proposed completions it will now also show additional information e.g. a thumb (this is the case for tags and meta tags).... read more

This new version has the following improvements:

- Autocompletion with Ctr-Space in the Filter Editor, Group By Editor and Bookmark-Table-Editing
- Function to update a saved bookmark
- reworked filer & grouping: works now as expected from sql databases when dealing with relations to tags and metatags

- messages view which shows the status of actions
- reworked the thumb grid view: size changes let the cells automatically "float" with respect to the changed size; Selection is now as expected from other programs: could select multiple ranges and also individual cells with shift and ctrl key.

This version hot-fixes a problem of the 3-2-55 & 3-2-54 version.

There was a bug on some platforms (e.g. Linux platforms) where the application crashed during start up.

If you experience any problems on linux or mac update to 3-2-56.

Greetings
Matt

There exist a bug in the latest 3-2-54 and 3-2-55 versions:

they do not startup in on linux platforms (and probably all other non-windows platforms).
I´l have to investigate it, but its probably because of a Swingx component that does not support the linux platform.
I will fix this as soon as possible.

For the meanwhile:

- windows users: just take the newest 3-2-55 version
- other platform users: take the 3-2-33 version. it should be stable on all platforms.... read more
