Yate Release Notes

Version 8.3.1 (12435.12439)

      Action Statement Changes

• The Date Functions statement will now parse EXIF format dates. YYYY:MM:DD hh:mm:ss.
• New action statement named Extract EXIF Data from Image File. The statement can extract all EXIF data to a container.
• New action statement named Create Droplet. The statement can be used to create droplets on the desktop. This is primarily implemented so that we can distribute actions which create droplets.

      Bug Fixes

• The Find panel in Action Editor Windows was not adjusting a container menu when all containers were removed.
• Builds contained the incorrect Yate-Droplet.app files. If you have created a droplet on macOS 10.13 or later which has OM in its version number, it is a benign error.
• The Set Open Mode statement was not defaulting to A-X (Album, Replace, No Subfolders). If was incorrectly defaulting to A+X (Album, Add, No Subfolders).

Version 8.3 (12427.12414)

      Settings - Rename

• The advanced configuration panel for a rename template can now force a UNFC (precomposed) or UNFD (composed) Unicode normalization form. Typically this is only required if a remote filesystem requires UNFC.
• The advanced configuration panel for a rename template has a number of new function buttons which allow you to load the current defaults or the values in effect before changes were made.

      View>Credits Invalid for Roon

• The associated Repair Credits Invalid for Roon Suite of actions has been updated to allow you to manually rename credits which cannot be resolved. You can also create aliases for unresolved credits.
• The View menu has a new Configure item used to configure the process.

      The Multi Field Editor's Credits Panel

• The Resolve Non Standard Mappings item (added in the v8.2.4) has been removed.
• A more comprehensive item named CCE Functions has been added. When the function is selected a configuration control is displayed which allows you to set the functions applied by the command.

      Action Statement Changes

• The Involved People/Musician Credits Functions statement can now override the specified sort mode as a runtime override.
• The Lookup Credits statement has been renamed to Credit Database Functions. In additional to looking up a credit, the statement can now also add to and delete items in the credits database. It can also set aliases.
• The Prompt from Container statement has new configuration keys: cropPopupMenuItems, popupDelimiterIsEmpty and popupNoTrimOnAppend. Online help for this statement can be located on the Help>Quick Reference menu.

      Credit Preview

• The credits preview now also displays combined values.

      Bug Fixes

• The Credits table in the Combined Credits Editor would jump whenever the filter was changed.
• The Multi Field Editor's and Involved People/Musician Credits Functions action statement were not always performing the required sort.
• The Combined Credits Editor's Paste Clipboard as Alias function was not working correctly.
• A few Combined Credits Editor's known credits functions were not always updating the display.
• Some statements such as Get Info and Make Numeric which use cascading menu controls were not always indicating the selected function.
