What's new in Album Artwork Assistant 3.2
May 12, 2012
- Adds compatibility with Mountain Lion’s Gatekeeper feature.
New in Album Artwork Assistant 3.1 (Mar 10, 2012)
- Adopts a recent change to Amazon’s Product Advertising API.
New in Album Artwork Assistant 3.0 (Nov 29, 2010)
- Fixes/brings back Quick Look to preview album covers (if you’ve never used this: hit the space bar or ⌘-Y while an album thumbnail is selected). Also added a button because many people didn’t discover the Quick Look feature.
- Some user interface changes to use the available space more efficiently.
New in Album Artwork Assistant 2.9 (Feb 3, 2010)
- Fixes a crash introduced in version 2.8 on 64 bit when searching for an album with parentheses in the name. Seems I enabled 64 bit for the first time and disabled PPC by accident in version 2.8. This version again contains PPC code but I’m not even sure it works anymore.
New in Album Artwork Assistant 2.8 (Feb 3, 2010)
- You can now select tracks in playlists, instead of just in the main Music group in iTunes. I think there was a reason why I disabled this, but it seems to work now. Let me know if there are any issues.
- Album Artwork Assistant used to crash when you dragged an image from the local hard disk into the built-in web browser and selected it. I never thought about using it this way and this version fixes the crash. This is a neat trick to use local image files as artwork. Thanks to everyone who took the time to write a description of what they were doing in the crash report.
New in Album Artwork Assistant 2.6 (Jul 3, 2009)
New in Album Artwork Assistant 2.5 (Jun 22, 2009)
- Changed the way Amazon search requests are performed for compatibility with a future version of the Amazon web service.
- More stability fixes.
New in Album Artwork Assistant 2.4 (Apr 10, 2009)
- Fixes to improve stability.
- You can now remove tracks in the list of affected tracks in the upper half of the window by selecting them and choosing Delete from the Edit menu. This is useful if the program has picked up tracks you don’t want to change, for example when two albums have an identical title.
New in Album Artwork Assistant 2.3 (Jan 13, 2009)
- The application now quits when iTunes quits. You can control this in the preferences.
- Fixed a bug that crashed the application when the very first image result was used and it happened to be unavailable.
New in Album Artwork Assistant 2.2 (Jan 7, 2009)
- The introduction of the embedded web browser in version 2.1 broke the keyboard shortcuts for the menu shortcuts “Add to Queue” and “Add Immediately” (⌘-S and ⌘-Shift-S) and made them crash the application. This problem is fixed now. Thanks to Richard De Vere for providing the first useful crash report description of how to trigger the problem.
- Introduced some checks in the code that might help me find the cause of other, rare crashes.
New in Album Artwork Assistant 2.1 (Dec 30, 2008)
- Added an embedded web browser that lets you surf the web and pick images directly off web pages. This is useful if the regular image search doesn't turn up anything useful and you have to track it down manually on sites such as discogs.com. You can find more information about this feature in the online help or on the web site.
- The new web browser feature required some user interface changes, such as the status bar at the bottom of the window.
- Added smaller/larger icons to the zoom slider.
- The application now stores the queue contents every time an item is added, deleted or processed and not just when the application quits. This preserves the queue contents if the application crashes.
- There is a feedback reporter that offers to send information about the problem to the developer if the application terminates unexpectedly.
- Previous versions of the application did not store changes to the toolbar configuration.
- Fixed a bug that either prevented the application from sending more search requests or caused it to crash after a certain number of searches.
