GMPC 0.16.5 beta 1: ?? + ?? = ?

Changes since 0.16.1

GMPC

  • Fix building with NLS disabled.
  • Fix resize issue.
  • Add a function that generates a filename for cover art, this should be used in metadata plugins. To give a more consistent saving.

  • Update stored playlist without loosing selection.
  • Allow prioritizing of metadata plugins from the gui.

  • Only save config/metadata/profile file on closing of gmpc.

    You have to unselect the album again.

    2) Compile them. I haven’t had time to make packages.

    cool thanks.

    the clicking again is a bit hard to find once you have an artist and album selected.

    If you realize how it works it is logic. Every selection you make filters to left and right. It just is not the “default” way it is done in programs like itunes/rhythmbox
