Yate Release Notes

Bug Fix

Depending on your preference settings, backups could fail and a crash could occur when exiting the application (v6.8.1). Subsequent starts of the application could display a 'crash warning' and it is possible that no logs are available.
It's possible that you receive one additional 'crash warning' after installing v6.8.1.1.
After installing the update please do a Yate>About Yate to verify that you are in fact running v6.8.1.1. If not, you will have to download the application from the website again.
If for any reason the update does not work, you will have to download the application from the website again.

Databases

The File menu has a new Create Database... menu item. The function allows you to create a database using an Export set to control which columns are created. This differs from the File>Save As Database menu item which always creates a standalone database based on the currently displayed columns.
The new function provides a UI based equivalent to the Create Track Database and Create Album Database action statements.

Database Preferences

You can now set a character string to be displayed for the Loved column in an Album database when the value is mixed. ie. the album is not all loved, disliked or none.
The default value is a green heart. If you want the old behaviour which was to display nothing, simply empty the new Mixed field.

Configuring the Main Window's Context Menu

Preferences - File List - Context Menu - Configure now supports the reordering of the menu items.
It also supports the insertion and removal of separator lines.

Menu Changes

The File>Save As CSV/TSV File menu item and the equivalent file list context menu item have been renamed Save As Database
The file list context menu item named Display Folder in File Browser has been renamed Show Folder in File Browser
The Apple Apps >Add to iTunes Staging Playlist menu item and the equivalent file list context menu item have been renamed Add to Apple Apps Staging Playlist.

Bug Fixes

When doing an Apply Database Values to Open Files from an Album database and the rows did not have a Yate Album ID, it is possible that some selected files were not updated.
Monterey Only: If you change a Love field value to Dislike, by any means other doing it in an editing panel, the editing panel will not be updated.
Some menu items in the save panel presented by the File>Save As CSV/TSV File function may have been greyed out.
The Enumerate Fields and Extensions statement was messed up. Various enumerations returned an incorrect list.
The Map Metadata to Files action statement was broken in v6.7. This caused the Search Discogs/MusicBrainz Suite of actions to fail. No changes are required to the actions.
