[Pjbexploder-announce] Release 1.0.41...

[Michael H. <mi...@ho...>]

I've decided to release .41 on the world.  This has some bug fixes
and minor features.

Changes:
 - Remove pjbExploder splash screen.
 - Add progress indicators for loading and saving TOC.
 - During file transfers, main window is hidden.
 - Most dialog boxes now remember their locations.
 - Performance improvements in Sync when looking for / analyzing files.
 - New menu item - 'Sync PJB...'.
 - Fix some problems with 'Autosort'.
 - Fix some crashes if cancel is hit at the 'right' time.

Since the pre-release, the ripping code has been re-added.

If you have multiple PJB's, you can now operate on more than one at a =
time
(using separate instances of pjbExploder for each).  However, be careful =
not
to
use multiple instances of pjbExploder on a single PJB, as you will =
likely
confuse it.

'Sync PJB...' is the 'lite' version of 'Sync'.  It assumes your are =
syncing
the
*entire* PJB, and syncing from PC to PJB.  All other options come from =
the
options shown by 'Sync...'.  The confirmation box is for this command is =
a
simple summary, rather than a detailed list of changes.  Basically, it's =
a
shortcut for what I think is the 'usual' case for 'Sync...' - you've =
added
some
music to your PC, and want to transfer it to your PJB.

Also, I have added a 'hidden' option to add track numbers to file names =
when
downloading to the PC.  The reason this is hidden is because it can =
interact
badly with tagless MP3 files, especially during sync.  This option is =
really
intended to be used if you are transitioning to another device, and need =
a
mechanism to maintain the track order that you have on your PJB.

If this is enabled, then when pjbExploder is copying files to your PC, =
it
will
include the 'track number' in the file name, so instead of something =
like
"blah.mp3" you get "01 - blah.mp3".  This only applies to files that are
newly
created, so previously created files are not renamed.

The track number is *not* taken from the MP3 tags!  Instead, it is the
position
of the track in that particular disc.  This means a) that the track =
number
in
the name may not match the track number in the MP3 file and b) it works =
with
tagless mp3 files.

To enable this, you need to use the registry editor (regedit.exe).  =
Navigate
to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Software / pjbExploder, then create a new DWORD =
value
with
the name 'PrependTrackNum'.  A value of zero disables this (the old
behavior,
and the default).  Any other value enables it.
