[Pjbexploder-announce] pjbExploder v 1.0.42

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

I've decided to release .42 on the world.  This has some bug fixes and =
minor
features.

If your current version of pjbExploder is working fine for you, there's =
no
rush
to update to this version.


PJB Drivers

pjbExploder can now install the PJB drivers (on Windows 2000 and Windows
XP).
This is optional, and is not required if you already have pjbExploder
talking
to your PJB.  I expect it to be most useful for people installing
pjbExploder
on a new or freshly formatted machine.

With this change, you no longer need to install Jukebox Manager in order =
to
use
pjbExploder (on W2K and XP).  One less thing to hunt down and work =
out...

If you choose this option, then during setup you will get a security =
warning
since the drivers are not signed.  Hit 'Continue Anyway' to have the =
drivers
installed.

Once you plug in your PJB and the new hardware wizard comes up, just =
have it
'Install hardware automatically'.  You'll get another security warning
(because
the driver is *still* unsigned, imagine that).  Hit 'Continue Anyway', =
and
you're done.

If the new hardware wizard doesn't come up, then try
Control Panel / Add Hardware.


New Options

I've added options to control behavior that until now required editing =
the
registry directly.  You can now control:
 - whether the main app window is shown during file transfers (default: =
no)
 - whether pjbExploder maintains the 'Recent Additions' set (def: yes)
 - whether downloaded tracks on the PC include the track number (def: =
no)


In addition there have been some minor changes and bug fixes.
 - Clean up 'About' box.
 - Can now sort tracks by year.
 - If you ran a sync that consisted *solely* of deleting tracks, changes
   were not saved.
 - Fix some problems with 'pjbcmds.exe' command line tools.
 - Clean up source tree and CImage libs.
