Download Audio File Health Check
Audio File Health Check is an application used to scan your audio collection and produce a log file of errors in the files.

Install Audio File Health Check Repair Action
You can download an action to read the log file produced by Audio File Health Check which will repair most of the detected errors. The action can be downloaded from Yate's Resources web page or directly by clicking here. The advantage of it from this menu item is that potential caching by the browser is avoided and the action is installed. Note that the download and install of the action is handled by the Action Updater. The repair action will always be listed even if you already have the latest version installed. To check for updates use Yate>Check for Action Updates.

Install Metadata Archive Actions
You can download the actions used by the import and export of metadata archives functionality. The actions can also be downloaded from Yate's Resources web page. The advantage of downloading from this menu item is that potential caching by the browser is avoided and the actions are installed. Note that the download and install of the actions is handled by the Action Updater. The Metadata Archive action bundle will always be listed even if you already have the latest version installed. To check for updates use Yate>Check for Action Updates.

Always Open Embedded Online Help in Safari
By default, Yate's online help is displayed in your Mac's default browser. Certain browsers do not always force newly opened pages to the forefront. If this annoys you, you can force the opening of online help in Safari which does force the opened pages to the front. Note that this setting only modifies the behaviour when opening embedded content.
