This Update has now taken way more time than I myself would have ever expected, but it's not like there's a crowd waiting so I hope the three people reading this won't be furious with me :)

With this new Beta release I have focused on a complete Tag Editor rework to make it less terrible and generally more professional. I have been inspired by other Tag Editors.

Future Plans:

The future  of this not so little Project of mine will not be long. Probably one last Update in 1 or 2 months from now. This one will the mostly focus on the Lyric parts of Veles, such as: Lyrics Editor and Lyrics Viewer.

Even though my motivation for this project has been on kind of a steep downhill ride lately, I find it important for myself not to leave my first ever giant project in an unpolished state.

Additions:

  Exporting Images / Covers:

• Now possible to Export all embedded Covers
• Possible to Export specific Image embedded within file
• All Exported cover will now have the correct extension to it (.jpg, .png, .....)
• Managed to get the Mac library to work and now have an untested Mac-Version

• Completely new design
• Editing of Extended Tags
• Ability to Open whole folders and view audio files within
• Removing Tags from files
• 'Tags' ('<retain', '<blank>'), multiple files can now be re tagged more efficiently

  Various:

• New Shortcut: 'A' -> Toggle Audio Effects
• New 'Go To Artist' Options
• Image Properties (Tag Editor and Export Menu)
• Saving everything in the Background once in a while, for the rare occurrence of a crash
• Now showing conformation message when queuing songs

Changes:

• Most Menus got overhauled design wise
• Use of the Jetbrains Font here and there
• Smart Playlist Conditions now ignore upper and lowercase differences -> HELP = HeLp
• Removed an old, dubious and undocumented API (Textyl), which stopped working a few months ago
• New Standard Cover for Playlists and Artists without Cover
• Multiple Icon Changes across the whole application
• Increased the range where the window expands at the top of the screen when being dragged there
• Message Container now redesigned
• Not every single action adds something to an external log file, making it way too big for a logfile after a while
• New Boot-splash screen
• The Text Edits of the Rotary Buttons within the Audio Effects now get unhighlighted when pressing ENTER

Bug-fixes:

• Fixed an Issue where Smart Playlists would not get  the right songs depending on the Conditions
• Fixed an Issue where Veles would crash when changing the Conditions of a Smart Playlist which is currently playing songs
• Fixed a various amount Tagging Bugs and quirks
• Fixed an issue where Veles would crash when deleting a playlist which song is currently playing
• Fixed the text clipping over the Buttons in the Audio Output Selection menu
• Fixed Images with extreme aspect ratios (or anything not square), being down scaled very poorly
• Fixed Song Highlighter not being removed when playing songs from queue
• Fixed the Playlist not being set correctly when playing queued song
• The Text within the Audio Device Menu, does not clip over the Button anymore

Notes:

There probably are a bunch of other things I have changed, but my local file where wrote down everything I did, disappeared into the Shadow Realm meaning I had to remember every single change made during the last 2 months from the top of my head.

Thanks for reading this not very cohesive devlog of the new Veles Beta. If you have any question regarding Veles or the project in general, feel free to ask in the comments and of course a download would be extremely appreciated.

Have a Nice Day :)
