Recent Updates

Over the last week or so, The Tagger 1.2 has been released, along with minor updates 1.2.1–1.2.3. If your copy hasn’t already asked you to update, you can update by choosing Check for Updates in the application’s menu.

The most significant new feature of version 1.2 is the Get Tags from Filenames feature, enabling tag values to be read from filenames using custom or preset formats. The other noticeable change is to allow the widths of the two halves of the window to be adjusted using a draggable bar (using an NSSplitView).

Some important bugs were fixed in the Discogs feature, including problems with artists’ pseudonyms and a particularly annoying bug that resulted in an error sheet being displayed over and over again. I apologise in particular to anyone unfortunate enough to have encountered that bug. Version 1.2.3 also stops disc titles from sometimes being treated as separate tracks in multi-disc releases.

Other changes include formatting track and disc numbers as 01, 02, etc. instead of 1, 2, 3 when renaming files, which is better for sorting. Also, when trying to rename a file using a format that contains a tag for which the file has no value, placeholders are now used—“Untitled” in place of a title tag, “Unknown” for other text tags, and “00” for track and disc numbers.
